Innovation economics has gained momentum since the 1990s as an autonomous field in economics qualified by the increasing importance of knowledge and innovation for the competitiveness of firms, regions and economies as well as by the peculiarities of innovations, which makes innovation processes difficult to be analyzed in the context of standard industrial economics. It turned out that modern innovation economics has become a field of interdisciplinary research combining besides economists, among others technological historians, economic sociologist, engineers and complexity researchers. In this course, students will be made acquainted with important concepts and ongoing research projects. 10:30 Break 11:00 Lecture continues (HS 34) Prof. Dr. Andreas Pyka 12:30 Lunch break Optional program: Dies academicus 13:30 “Dies academicus” is an academic holiday. Students and staff of the university are given an opportunity to get to know other faculties. It is also a day where the university opens its doors to the public and thus, it is also known as the Open University. The motto of the “Dies academicus” is Discovering and Enjoying the University! It gets to the heart of what the visitors can expect: A wonderful summer party with exciting activities can be enjoyed. Enjoy the very special atmosphere of the “Dies academicus” which is celebrated annually. After the traditional tapping of the beer barrel by the President, many student groups will present themselves and serve food, cocktails, and much more. On Friday evening, the castle courtyard will turn into a big party zone.

This lecture is intended to equip students with a basic understanding of the entrepreneurial process and respective managerial challenges. It analyzes the environments of entrepreneurship from types of opportunities, to how decisions are made depending on the opportunities pursued. We will focus on the unique challenges involved in founding and managing entrepreneurial ventures. Moreover, we address the analytical and administrative domains of entrepreneurial and managerial behavior. The course comprises theoretical insights into the entrepreneurial issues at hand and combines these with practical applications. 10:30 Break 11:00 Lecture continues (GREEN HALL) Prof. Dr. Christian Hopp 12:30 Lunch break 13:30 Lecture: An Introduction into Entrepreneurial Finance (GREEN HALL) Prof. Dr. Tereza Tykvová The lecture will deal with value creation as the objective of each strategic and financial choice that an entrepreneur or investor makes.
