Radical Innovations: Processes and Practices in the Forest and Pulp and Paper Industry

This course focuses on the innovation process in the Forest/Pulp/Paper industry, tailored for PhD students. It starts with the Innovation management process adopted by Biomaterials, highlighting the Stage/Gate process, the role of the project management office, and the iterative nature of innovation. Participants will explore commercial aspects like value propositions and business models using tools […]

Managing the Innovation Process from the Research Perspective

IPR Analysis will use various search engines and mapping tools to determine who owns intellectual property necessary for the practice of a new technology, and who is currently working on creating relevant IPR.  Strategies for controlling IPR, locking-up necessary components, and keeping potential competitors at bay will be discussed.  Market Analysis will distill a realistic […]
