Friday, 1 July 2016 09:00 Lecture: An Introduction into Innovation Economics (HS 34) Prof. Dr. Andreas Pyka Innovation economics will introduce the summer school students into

the broad field of modern innovation economics. Innovation economics has gained momentum since the 1990s as an autonomous field in economics qualified by the increasing importance of knowledge and innovation for the competitiveness of firms, regions and economies as well as by the peculiarities of innovations, which makes innovation processes difficult to be analyzed in the context of standard industrial economics. It turned out that modern innovation economics has become a field of interdisciplinary research combining besides economists, among others technological historians, economic sociologist, engineers and complexity researchers. In this course, students will be made acquainted with important concepts and ongoing research projects.

10:30 Break 11:00 Lecture continues (HS 34) Prof. Dr. Andreas Pyka 12:30 Lunch break

Optional program: Dies academicus 13:30 “Dies academicus” is an academic holiday. Students and staff of the

university are given an opportunity to get to know other faculties. It is also a day where the university opens its doors to the public and thus, it is also known as the Open University.

The motto of the “Dies academicus” is Discovering and Enjoying the University! It gets to the heart of what the visitors can expect: A wonderful summer party with exciting activities can be enjoyed. Enjoy the very special atmosphere of the “Dies academicus” which is celebrated annually. After the traditional tapping of the beer barrel by the President, many student groups will present themselves and serve food, cocktails, and much more. On Friday evening, the castle courtyard will turn into a big party zone.

Monday, 4 July 2016 09:00 Lecture: An Introduction into Entrepreneurship Research

(GREEN HALL) Prof. Dr. Christian Hopp Entrepreneurship is “always a voyage of exploration into the

unknown, an attempt to discover new ways of doing things better than they have been done before” (Hayek, 1948: 101).

This lecture is intended to equip students with a basic understanding of the entrepreneurial process and respective managerial challenges. It analyzes the environments of entrepreneurship from types of opportunities, to how decisions are made depending on the opportunities pursued. We will focus on the unique challenges involved in founding and managing entrepreneurial ventures. Moreover, we address the analytical and administrative domains of entrepreneurial and managerial behavior. The course comprises theoretical insights into the entrepreneurial issues at hand and combines these with practical applications.

09:00 Lecture: Risk Management using Monte Carlo Simulation (S 07)

Dr. Niklas Lampenius The course covers the identification and management of operational

and financial risks in the context of innovations using Excel-based Monte Carlo Simulation tools. In the course of the session, students model and identify operational and financial risks in a case-study based context. Further, students test various mitigations strategies in terms of cost efficiency and mitigation potential. The session concludes with a recommendation to management regarding the top-5 risks and potential mitigation strategies of a particular innovation.

08:45 Introduction for using the PC-Room (PC-ROOM 3) 09:00 Lecture: Econometrics of Innovation (PC-ROOM 3) Prof. Dr. Robert Jung A common measure for the innovativeness of a firm is the number of

patents it files. Patents have the advantage that reliable data is available through official databases of the European Patent Office or the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for example. But, because of the non-negative and integer nature of the data special econometric methods have to be employed. The purpose of this course is to introduce you to these count data models and to investigate possible influencing factors like tangible and knowledge capital stock on the number of patents of a firm using a real world data set and the statistical software package STATA.

Thursday, 7 July 2016 09:00 Lecture: Risk Perception, Risk Taking and Risk Aversion (ROOM

123) Prof. Dr. Jörg Schiller Financial decisions are usually made in a risky environment. The

lecture will deal with the following questions: How do people perceive risky situations? When people are risk averse, do they dislike certain risks more than others? Which risks are people willing to take? How can we model and measure behavior in risky situations? In order to explore these questions, the lecture will include experiments, which are directly analysed in the classroom.

The neoclassical view of capital markets is a purely allocational one: capital is directed towards those business opportunities offering investors the most attractive risk-return profile. In this course, we will challenge this view and consider the role of financial institutions and capital markets in fostering innovation, critically discuss the role which financial innovation plays for economic welfare, and explore how technological advances are in turn affecting financial innovation and development of financial markets.

On April 29 1945, American troops liberated the survivors.

Markets (BLUE HALL) Prof. Dr. Hans‐Peter Burghof The financing of young innovative companies is hampered by several

inefficiencies. The high degree of riskiness, information asymmetries and contractual incompleteness can lead to market failure, in particular if these companies rely on new and innovative technologies. A solution can be found in the adequate design of financial instruments and the availability of financial markets. Furthermore, the state tries to overcome these inefficiencies through subsidies. In the course, these different remedies to improve early stage financing are presented and evaluated according to their economic efficiency.

Ritter Sport Ritter Sport is a brand of chocolate from the Alfred Ritter GmbH &

Co. KG. Each 100 gram square-shaped bar is divided into 16 smaller squares, creating a four-by-four pattern. In 2013, the company introduced a new version that is divided into 9 smaller squares using a three-by-three pattern. Large bars weighing 250 grams and 16.5 gram mini bars are also available, although in fewer varieties. The chocolate brand Ritter Sport Schokolade produced as the square tablet known today was launched in 1932 after Clara suggested creating a chocolate bar that would fit into every sport jacket pocket without breaking. The Ritter museum is a "hommage to the square" - to describe the Sammlung Marli Hoppe-Ritter. The collection consists of nearly 600 paintings, objects, sculptures and graphic works, a breadth of painterly and sculptural confrontation with the square form used as the design for the Ritter chocolate. Ritter's factory is located in Waldenbuch, outside Stuttgart. They have a shop and museum there as well that is open to visitors.
