This book introduces cutting-edge issues and thought-provoking
concepts on innovation management. It illustrates how robotic
developments allow new powerful support functionalities for
harnessing workplace innovations and new types of work in
enterprises. In particular, low status jobs-heavy, repetitive and
dangerous jobs-are disappearing and increasingly replaced by
creative and meaningful work. It situates the research within
theoretical developments and academic literature in business and
management studies on innovation networks and partnerships. The
book then introduces the notion of "friction management," which
invites us to re-examine creative tensions and explore how
contradictions may spur or restrain change and innovation in this
landscape. Innovation and change challenge established patterns,
cultures, value systems, interests and network configurations-which
creates a variety of frictions. Therefore, a theory of friction
management is crucial, particularly in innovation-intensive
industries, and can help professionals to understand change and the
dynamics of innovation so that they can orchestrate events and
learn to distinguish between the creative and negative frictions
that can arise and that are important for change and the innovation
process. Thus, the goal of friction management is to orchestrate,
mobilize and (re)combine key organizational resources to
strategically increase innovation capacity and promote dynamic
renewal and creativity. It will be of interest to scholars and
postgraduates in the areas of innovation management, sociology and
business administration.
