Course detail

Project management of innovation

FEKT-NPRIAcad. year: 2011/2012

Project Management (PM)is methodical instrument for preparation and realization of changes in general, including technical product and process innovation in the concrete. PM and its SW support is usable during study, for management activity generally and for industrial innovation of course. PM is needed attribute not only successful changes from starting stage to recognized aim but also necessary requirement of convincing project proposal and obtaining of necessary financial recources (grant angency, banks, risk capital, programme committies EU, etc).
