Students recognize knowledge and innovation as a critical organizational resource to achieve sustainable competitive advantages. They know the tools for doing a knowledge audit. Students learn how to support processes of organizational learning. Because they understand the ways how tacit and explicit knowledge can be exchanged among internal and external partners, students are able to create contexts that facilitate the sharing and diffusion of knowledge. The students improve their ability to assess, select and apply analytical tools. They enhance their problem solving and decision making capabilities as individuals as well as in the role of team members. Communication and presentation skills are trained. Students can communicate their acquired knowledge to specialist and nonspecialist audiences. They are able to reflect the social and ethical implications of knowledge and innovation management decisions including gender issues.
