TY - JOUR AB - Fostering innovation in the chemical industry demands a new approach to the competencies required by employees. To succeed in innovation processes, competencies are needed that transcend the mere scientific knowledge in chemistry: skills are needed to work in teams in a transdisciplinary manner in order to generate new ideas. Moreover, these skills will enable employees to exploit innovations that exist at the interface with other disciplines and industries. However, how can such competencies be trained and fostered? This article addresses competencies that are crucial to cross-industry and interdisciplinary innovation processes. Furthermore, it outlines principles for developing competencies through professional educational activities and provides both practical examples and domains for further research AU - Lehr, Dorit AU - Auch, Christoph DA - 2017 LA - eng IS - Journal of Business Chemistry M2 - 2 N1 - Section "Practitioner’s Section" PY - 2017 SP - 2-10 T2 - Journal of Business Chemistry TI - Novel approaches in professional education to foster innovation in the chemical industry UR - https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:hbz:6-73209430704 Y2 - 2024-11-22T11:24:59 ER -
