Commercialization of knowledge through start-up 1600-SZD-ID-KNSU
The commercialization of science through start-ups is a course in which students will conduct interviews with a faculty member - the creator of a start-up with Wheelstair's social mission and head of the Strategic and International Management Laboratory in the Department of Strategy and Leadership at the UW Faculty of Management. The interviews will be a prelude to a discussion of key aspects of commercialization of science in the form of a start-up: legal, financial, organizational, creative and interpersonal issues. Thanks to the interviews, students will have the opportunity to develop an in-depth case study, realizing in-depth interviews in grounded theory methodology in practice.
