Would you say your phone is safe, or your computer? What about your car? Or your bank? There is a global war going on and the next target could be anyone - an international corporation or a randomly selected individual. From cybercrime villages in Romania to intellectual property theft campaigns in China, these are the true stories of the hackers behind some of the largest cyberattacks in history and those committed to stopping them. You've never heard of them and you're not getting their real names. Kate Fazzini has met the hackers who create new cyberweapons, hack sports cars and develop ransomware capable of stopping international banks in their tracks. Kingdom of Lies is a fast-paced look at technological innovations that were mere fantasy only a few years ago, but now make up an integral part of all our lives.

The ascent of Asia has introduced new avenues for entrepreneurship, especially China. Innovation has been a much-vaunted topic by many Asian governments; however, there is scant literature focusing on innovation in China.

Is there innovation in China? What are the examples of innovation in Chinese companies? What is the path that an innovative Chinese private-owned enterprise take? What are the experiences, capabilities that these innovative companies acquire? What is the DNA of these companies? How do these companies experiment with innovative approaches and also manage the risk of innovation? What are the lessons learnt and how would these entrepreneurial innovators advise others who are embarking on the same journey.

The book also has implications for foreign firms. China's rapid economic growth has made it a vital market. Yet those corporations face their toughest competition not from other multinationals, but from China's own homegrown businesses, which the book shows to be more nimble and innovative than their foreign counterparts. "Chin""n""ovation: How Chinese Innovators Are Changing The World" uncovers the common threads with frameworks and probing questions as Chinese innovation and entrepreneurship expand its reach in the world. This is not a book on current best practices, but rather, it distills the truth from the myth, drawing from the journeys of innovative Chinese companies.

The author has interviewed 25 China CEOs and venture capitalists featuring the likes of Li Jiren (CEO, Neusoft), Nick Yang, (Founder, NASDAQ-listed KongZhong, Chinaren.com and Wukong.com), Neil Shen (Managing Director of Sequoia Capital China, Founder of NASDAQ-listed Ctrip), Mr Chua Kee Lock, (Managing Partner, Vertex Ventures and former President, SGX-listed Biosensors), Mr. Richard Chang, (Founder, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation, China's largest semiconductor fab),, Jane Yan, (CEO, Venusinfo Technology), Zhang Tao, (CEO, Dianping - China's largest User-Review Website), Chaming Zhang (CEO, Ipart - One of China's largest Web 2.0 Avatar - social networking site), Ray Cheng (CEO, E-hi, China's innovative car-rental model), Liang Yi (CEO of Mobitex), Wu Jian Guang (CEO of Really Sports, Forbes-listed), Dr. Ta-lin Hsu, (Founder and Chairman of H&Q Asia Pacific), Mr YK Chu, (Managing Partner, Wi Harper).

`Dr Gault has been on the forefront of innovation measurement and indicators for many years. With the publication of Innovation Strategies for a Global Economy, he has moved substantially beyond the realm of measurement. In this volume he has succinctly linked the role of measuring innovation to the development and implementation of innovation strategies. The volume is unique in addressing both the measurement and implementation of appropriate innovation strategies in developing nations. Over the last decade Dr Gault has become an expert in this area and his expertise is clearly on display. Without a doubt, this volume is the definitive primer on the measurement of innovation and the implementation of strategies for innovation.' - Lynda D. Carlson, PhD `Innovation Strategies for a Global Economy skilfully connects the challenge of developing innovation policies with the development of statistics and indicators needed to evaluate and monitor these policies. Fred Gault brings an insider view to both areas which is exceedingly rare and badly needed.' - Andrew Wyckoff, OECD, France `For decades, many in the indicators community have looked to Fred Gault for new ideas and organizing principles. Gault continues to play this informative and inspiring role in his new book on the intersection between policy and indicators. His ideas will make a substantive contribution to the way in which innovation policy is made.` - Eric Von Hippel, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Sloan School of Management, US `This path-breaking book integrates theory, case studies, data and policy insight into a unique take on innovation processes and government action. It is a much-needed advance in the intellectual foundations of innovation policy.' - Keith Smith, Imperial College, London, UK This book is about innovation strategies for a global economy, their development, implementation, measurement and management. Following the global economic crisis, people are asking: what went wrong? Here, Fred Gault illustrates that a part of the problem was innovation in financial services, which resulted in the release of attractive new products to the market that diffused rapidly and then lost value. This book considers innovation and how policies are developed and implemented to support it. In so doing, framework conditions such as market regulation and the cost of doing business are examined to discover how future problems could be avoided. A better understanding of innovation and innovation policy may result in improved economic and social outcomes from these activities. The book therefore begins with an exploration of the language and system framework used to discuss innovation, and the statistical indicators needed to describe it. The author provides a critical assessment of innovation policy development, monitoring and evaluation, and considers innovation strategies, their components and management. He concludes by prescribing directions for new work in developed and developing countries. Academics engaged in the study of innovation policy, its monitoring and evaluation, will find this book to be of great interest, as will graduate students in the fields of business and management, and sociology. It will also strongly appeal to governmental policymakers and statisticians responsible for innovation statistics.

Technological learning is a key driver behind the improvement of energy technologies and subsequent reduction of production costs. Understanding how and why production costs for energy technologies decline, and whether they will continue to do so in the future, is of crucial importance for policy makers, industrial stakeholders and scientists alike. This timely and informative book therefore provides a comprehensive review of technological development and cost reductions for renewable energy, clean fossil fuel and energy-efficient demand-side technologies. It responds to the need for a quality-controlled data set of experience curves, including assessment of measurement methodology, technological knowledge and associated cost. The expert contributors present a thorough overview and discussion of the pitfalls of applying the experience curve approach, including aspects such as geographical system boundaries, whether the slope of the experience curves is constant or not, statistical error and sensitivity analysis of experience curves, and whether the experience curve approach can be utilized to quantify improvements in energy efficiency. A clear set of recommendations for the use of the experience curve approach is also prescribed.Providing a significant contribution to the current literature on energy and climate models, scenario analysis, and methodological lessons on experience curves, this book will strongly appeal to academics and students in the areas focusing on energy and public sector economics. Policy makers in these fields will also find the book to be of great interest.

Innovation is central to the dynamics and success of organizations and society in the modern world, the process famously referred to by Schumpeter as "gales of creative destruction."
This ambitious and wide ranging book makes the case for a new approach to the study of innovation. It is the editors' conviction that this approach must accomplish several objectives: it must recognise that innovation encompasses changes in organizations and society, as well as products and processes; it must be genuinely interdisciplinary and include contributes from economics, sociology, management and political science; it must be international, to reflect both different patterns or systems of innovation, and different research traditions; and it must reflect the fundamental changes taking place in science, research and knowledge creation at all levels.
To this end they have gathered together a distinguished group of economists, sociologists, political scientists, and organization, innovation and institutional theorists to both assess current research on innovation, and to set out a new research agenda. This has been achieved through careful planning and development of the project, and also through the ensuing structure of the book which looks in turn at Product and Process Innovation (perhaps the best established focus of existing research on innovation), Scientific Research (assessing the changing character of basic research and science policy); Knowledge Dynamics in Context (encompassing organizational learning in all its aspects); and Institutional Change (an analysis of the institutional context that can shape, enable and constrain innovation).
This carefully integrated and wide ranging book will be an ideal reference point for academics and researchers across the Social Sciences interested in all dimensions of innovation--be they in the field of Management Studies, Economics, Organization Studies, Sociology, Political Science and Science and Technology Studies.

Die Studierenden koennen mit diesem Buch leicht dem Lehrstoff im Unterricht folgen und ihre Kenntnisse bei der Hausarbeit schrittweise vertiefen. Hierzu tragt die auch im Lehrwerk Technische Mechanik bewahrte Zweispaltigkeit bei: in der linken Spalte steht der Lehrtext und rechts daneben wird dieser durch Rechnungen und Zeichnungen erganzt. In der 11. Auflage wurden ein Kapitel zur Atomphysik erganzt sowie ein Beitrag zur Supraleitung aufgenommen.

Open Innovation describes an emergent model of innovation in which firms draw on research and development that may lie outside their own boundaries. In some cases, such as open source software, this research and development can take place in a non-proprietary manner.
Henry Chesbrough and his collaborators investigate this phenomenon, linking the practice of innovation to the established body of innovation research, showing what's new and what's familiar in the process. Offering theoretical explanations for the use (and limits) of open innovation, the book examines the applicability of the concept, implications for the boundaries of firms, the potential of open innovation to prove successful, and implications for intellectual property policies and practices.
The book will be key reading for academics, researchers, and graduate students of innovation and technology management.
