ABSTRACT
Summary: In this chapter we report and reflect on the structure, outcomes, and success factors of two problem-based learning course formats in the field of user innovation education. These courses have been designed to enable prospective innovation managers to apply two different user innovation methods (lead user method and technological competence leveraging) in a real-life setting and to think and learn about the consequences of a new paradigm where instead of acting as an innovator itself, the company becomes a “facilitator” being responsible to trigger, support, and manage innovative activities of individuals from outside the company.
