Business Innovation is designed for budding entrepreneurs to kick-start new business ventures – or for “intrapreneurs” who want to build innovation and manage creative product development within an existing company. 

You’ll focus on creativity, change management, new product development, entrepreneurial finance, customer-focused design, and business development. Collaborating with students from other faculties, you’ll also have an exciting opportunity to cultivate a new venture.

“Sauder was the catalyst. It was out of this innovative class that Recon was spawned.” – Fraser Hall, UBC MBA 2007, Chairman, Recon Instruments.
