• New Product Development, 2021- present

​A key capability in organisations in responding to a volatile and fast changing market is new product development. Firms that are able to bring a steady stream of timely and well-executed products (goods or services) to market are likely to enjoy long-term financial success. Designing products and bringing them to market, however, is not a straightforward process due to many inherent uncertainties. The course introduces tools and concepts for both linking product development to strategy and marketing, and for managing the development process for speed, efficiency, and market impact. The course focuses on new product innovation as a process and examines key steps (opportunity identification, design, testing, product launch) through which an initial idea is transformed into an actual product or service.​

• Decision & Risk Analysis, 2021- present

Important business decisions cannot be left to intuition alone. We need to communicate the structure of our reasoning, defend it to adversarial challenges and make presentations that show we have done a thorough analysis. We also need to make sense out of various sources of data, organise the inputs of experts and colleagues, and use state-of-the-art tools to provide analytical support to our reasoning. To equip you to be more effective in these tasks is the objective of this course. The emphasis is not on the quantitative aspects, but on the qualitative insights that come from using models to aid managerial thinking and decision making.
