IME Uni Potsdam

The Chair of Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship at the University of Potsdam offers world-class research in the areas of Business Model Innovation, Creativity, Design Thinking, Digitalization, Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Technology Management. We focus on the human side in each of these areas - i.e., how do people think and act, how do teams work, and what can organizations do to encourage their people to become more creative, entrepreneurial, and innovative. We closely work together with small, medium-sized and large enterprises as well as non-profit organizations to make our research relevant and impactful. For these partners, we offer presentations, workshops, embedded research, and consulting. For our students, we offer impactful and relevant teaching, using a variety of different teaching methods, from creativity techniques, Design Thinking, case studies, flipped-classroom, project- and research-based learning, group learning, and entrepreneurial projects. For the university and society, we aim to follow the highest ethical standards in researching and teaching, providing value for all of our stakeholders while constantly thinking about new ways to make the world better one step at a time.
