About IMS |
The Innovation Management School (IMS) is the result of a powerful partnership between the College of Management at North Carolina State University and the Industrial Research Institute (IRI) intended to serve the needs of firms ‘desiring to grow’.
The IMS has been created to provide current and future business leaders leading-edge innovation management training. Its hands-on courses heavily leverage the brain trust of both the Center for Innovation Management Studies (CIMS) – a network of this nation’s most prominent innovation and technology management academic thought-leaders and the IRI – a network of this nation’s most successful and advanced innovation and technology management practitioners. This brain trust is harnessed in corporate training courses and delivered through the College of Management’s Executive Programs. IRI and CIMS have both spent over 20 years of research analyzing innovation’s toughest problems. For more information, download our full whitepaper.
