The seminar aims at introducing students to current topics of innovation management. These topics are approached through a comprehensive literature review performed by the students, with the aim of providing a sound picture of the body of knowledge for each specific topic. Students will learn to perform a systematic literature review, including topic search and ‘snow-balling’. They will have to develop a conceptual understanding of each topic, building on relevant literature, review empirical evidence critically, and discuss central results of past and current research. Performing a critical literature review, creating an understanding of the empirical basis for knowledge generation, and relating individual research results to each other, including discussing compatible and conflicting research results, is central to this seminar. At the end, students will have practiced a literature-based approach to a specific topic of interest, preparing them for understanding research progress and for performing a master thesis.
