The Curricular Unit (CU) "Technology and Innovation" is structured to offer the student a comprehensive and interdisciplinary perspective, focusing on advanced management strategies in the context of Technological Innovation. The main aim of this course is to instil a proactive and positive attitude in students towards the process of fostering innovation and creativity in organizations.

 

The course is designed to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the methods and techniques essential for implementing a culture of innovation. This is particularly relevant in the current scenario of product and service development, and in the continuous search for excellence in organizations, covering service, social and public sectors.

 

In addition, the critical importance of Technology and Innovation as a key driver of organizational competitiveness is highlighted. This aspect becomes even more significant in the face of increased competition, driven by the globalization of markets, technical and technological advances, and consumer demands for new, increasingly complex and varied experiences.
