The course unfolds through both traditional frontal lectures and practical sessions.
The course presents qualitative aspects and empirical applications mainly related to the evolution and diffusion of innovation, ICT and patents.
The topics that are presented and discussed are expected to be employed to understand real-world examples, business decisions and strategies. At the end of the course, students will be able to handle qualitative and quantitative tools in order to measure and assess, for instance, the evolution and spread of innovation and patent activities, how the performance of countries, industries and firms is affected by ICT and innovation, and how network analysis can be applied to the software sector, patent activities and other economic fields.
Students are expected to strengthen their ability to perform socio-economic analyses in a critical and autonomous way. Students will be stimulated to improve their personal communication and presentation skills, while practicing their cooperation and group-work abilities.
