Additional information:
Disruption was voted "Economic Word of the Year" by the FAZ in 2015 and is associated with the fact that companies and business models that have been successful for decades suddenly have no more future. In the meantime, companies have realised that good ideas alone are not enough to be innovative and thus, successful in the long term. Ideas only become innovations when they turn into products or services that are successful on the market. This elective teaches how this works, which obstacles must be overcome and how innovations are created systematically.
