BI Norwegian Business School Innovation and Entrepreneurship Program

Our UC Berkeley innovation and entrepreneurship program is a hands-on, immersive, 

investigation into how startups are created and launched. We also investigate how these startup 

principles can be applied in an enterprise environment, with the concept of corporate 

entrepreneurship.  

Program Overview: Innovation is the engine that drives revenue and profit growth in most organizations. In this segment, we will explore different models of innovation management from those used by large design firms in Silicon Valley to the ones employed by large industrial firms in other parts of the world. Using cases, videos and in-class exercises, we'll examine the context in which innovation takes place, the ways in which customers can be embedded in the design process, and the systems, tools and techniques used to successfully manage innovation. 
At the end of the Entrepreneurship session, participants will understand how Silicon Valley functions; how VS firms are organized and partners compensated; set deal flow, deal terms and valuation. Understand the IPO process and value creation; how to manage distributions and fund liquidations.
