Harvard to offer programme in innovation-driven growth

Harvard Business School (HBS) will host an executive education programme, Driving Growth Through Innovation-India, between August 19 and 22, in Mumbai. The programme is being offered for the second time in Mumbai following its launch last year.

"Today, executives are challenged to do more with less, and yet have to keep their companies at the forefront of innovation. The Driving Growth Through Innovation-India programme explores new approaches to aligning product development with corporate strategy, reinventing strategic innovation systems, assessing disruptive technologies and bringing innovative products and services to the market," said Stefan H Thomke, William Barclay Harding Professor of Business Administration, and faculty chair of HBS executive education in India and "Driving Growth Through Innovation-India".

The programme will be taught by members of the school's own full-time faculty. The programme will enable participants examine the latest tools and strategies for managing diverse risks presenting new methodologies and tools to help executives manage innovation day to day and to help a company sustain long-term competitive advantage.
