Many companies today are unable to respond fast enough to market
shifts because they have concentrated too much on making technology
more specialized to their own needs, hoping that this will preserve
their competitive edge. Unfortunately, this has actually left many
R&D staff short of the cross-functional skills they need to
enable large projects to work. This innovative and original book,
written by a leading management consultant, addresses these
concerns and provides new insights into the theories and practices
of innovation management. Ultimately, this book argues, the
innovation process is no longer limited to 'know-how' but depends
instead on 'know-who'. For companies to remain competitive and
respond to market shifts, they must change their focus from
internal specialization to learning through relationships. Three
in-depth case studies from Canon, Sony and Toyota demonstrate the
intracorporate benefits of external collaboration. This book
provides concrete examples on how these companies use the
principles of open sharing ideas, technologies and human resources;
and performance measurement systems that reward cooperation and
collective achievements. More importantly, it links the Japanese
'learning through know-who principle' with these practices in order
to explain the high R&D performance, reduced development
lead-times and improved overall competitiveness of these three
firms. This book will be of great interest to business managers,
international scholars of R&D and innovation and postgraduate
students taking courses in technology and innovation.
