Applying innovation and creativity theories
Applying innovation and creativity theories
The assessment consists of an individual report applying innovation and creativity theories studied in the module to present and assess the innovative solution developed in the group project. In the report, you should analyse the implementation of the innovation, considering the organisational/regional/global conditions that may influence the innovation, and discuss the potential implication and diffusion of the innovation.
The individual report will assess your analysis of the potential implementation of the innovative solution. Researching content from different sources, you should show capacity for analysing in depth the innovation, demonstrating knowledge on the internal and external conditions which may influence the studied innovation, as well as its implications for the business and society.
You will be assessed taking into consideration the expected learning outcomes, your efforts to collect and analyse relevant information, and your capacity to apply the theoretical and practical knowledge discussed in lectures and workshops in the assessments. Special reward is to be given to students who can exceed the expectations, bringing to the discussion more sophisticated arguments, and showing great capacity of innovating, as well as collecting and analysing relevant information.
