Abstract

The Product Development Strategies course is aimed for students who want to develop the competencies needed for a successful career as a product manager. Even for students who do not intend to link their future profession with product management, the course will be valuable because it is multi-disciplinary and its framework, models and approaches can be used in many different areas.
