About Management of Product Development (MSc, Executive) at the HECTOR School

Product development is the process of entirely planning and prototyping novel technical systems. It ranges from finding the product profile to creating a concept, designing, making prototypes, testing and validating. The actual manufacturing phase follows subsequently and is the second and final stage of the product creation process. Thus, product development is certainly one of the core means of adding value in companies and is crucial for their success through innovation. Creativity and performance potential define the success of product development. Participants learn the ways of thinking, methods, and processes of product generation development in an agile approach to system design. Management of Product Development shares five management modules with other Master's programmes. This fosters networking across sectors and provides the participants with general knowledge in finance, accounting, marketing, international multi-project management, international law, and human resource management. In this way, they can consider the commercial implications of project decisions and develop a holistic view.
