    This course is a broader, 5 credit version of the "Introduction to Product Management". It is targeted to students who are taking either the Product and Innovation Management -major in Industrial Engineering and Management, or Product Management -minor. It has a restricted intake, but given that there's space, students from all other programs are welcome to join.

    This 5 credit version includes all the content of the introduction version, but also extends it in terms of company visits, case studies, and related literature.
