Innovation contributes to corporate competitiveness, economic
performance and environmental sustainability. In the Internet era,
innovation intelligence is transferred across borders and languages
at an unprecedented rate, yet the ability to benefit from it seems
to become more divergent among different corporations and
countries. How much an organization can benefit from innovation
largely depends on how well innovation is managed in it. Thus,
there is a discernible increase in interest in the study of
innovation management. This handbook provides a comprehensive guide
to this subject. The handbook introduces the basic framework of
innovation and innovation management. It also presents innovation
management from the perspectives of strategy, organization and
resource, as well as institution and culture. The book's
comprehensive coverage on all areas of innovation management makes
this a very useful reference for anyone interested in the subject.

This book discusses several product development strategies and
tools employed by organizations around the world to implement
frugal innovations. Over the past decade, frugal innovations have
caught the attention of countless management scholars. This book
comes at the right time for academics and practitioners alike, as
it explores how the concept of frugal innovation has evolved over
the past several years and is shifting its focus from merely
featuring 'cost' driven innovations to being more 'resourceful' and
'sustainable' at its core. Furthermore, in light of the ongoing
digital revolution and emergence of new business models such as
sharing economy and circular economy, the book highlights recent
and upcoming trends and their impacts on frugal innovation
strategies.

This edited collection explores how digitalization is changing the
management of innovation, and the subsequent implications for the
next phases in its development. The authors identify and examine
relevant phenomena which are related to the ongoing digital
breakthrough in the context of innovation management such as user
innovation, crowd sourcing and crowd funding, as well as social
media. In line with the constant globalization of innovation, the
first volume of Revolution of Innovation Management offers a
variety of international perspectives on these topics with
illustrations and analysis coming from Asia, America, and Europe.
Digital technologies have become a new economic and social force,
reshaping traditional business models, strategies, structures, and
processes. Digital entrepreneurship, which focuses on creating new
ventures and transforming existing businesses by developing novel
digital technologies or their novel usage, is seen as a critical
pillar for economic growth, job creation, and innovation by many
countries. Further, digital technologies have also enabled the
growth of the sharing economy, linking owners and users and
disrupting the previous dualism of businesses and customers.This
volume discusses the management of new technology-based firms and
technology projects initiated in academic or industrial contexts.
The contributions feature new theoretical concepts, ethical
considerations, empirical data analysis (qualitative and
quantitative), archival and historical methods, design science
approaches, action and field research, as well as management
science methods, informatics and cybernetics.

examine recent trends which have the potential to disrupt the
traditional way of managing innovation, notably in terms of
creativity, product development, and process change. In line with
the constant globalization of innovation, the second volume of

This edited volume brings together academics from both innovation
and marketing fields to explore the additional value for companies
that can be generated with the innovations in marketing and the
marketing of innovations. If ideas need to reach the marketplace,
then marketing strategies, concepts and tools - such as the
continuous development of new product and services - become vital
for their success. On the other hand, marketing management is
influenced by innovation as illustrated by the way social media and
Internet have revolutionized the traditional marketing-mix. Such
linkages between innovation and marketing research need to be much
stronger as companies have to convince internal and external
stakeholders to achieve successful innovation
strategies. State-of-the-art research output from
different perspectives would suit the needs of a researcher
as well as the company CEO alike.

Even though the number of working women has steadily increased over
the last few years, women are still significantly under-represented
in STEM activities (i.e. mathematics, informatics, science and
technology). In order to eliminate this under-representation,
numerous education policies and corporate initiatives, particularly
in the recent past, have been aimed at increasing women's
enthusiasm for STEM activities and professions. According to the
latest surveys, however, it is clear that these efforts have not
yet led to the desired success. Compared to their male
counterparts, women continue to do fewer STEM activities. One
possible reason for this is that relatively little is yet known
about the concrete impact of the above education policies on
working with innovation and technology: What are the gender
differences between women and men? Is it enough to recognize these
differences, or should these differences ideally not only be
recognized, but also treated appropriately or even encouraged? This
anthology deals with current topics in technology and innovation
management against the background of these and other
gender-relevant aspects. Empirical analyses and experiments in
collaboration with companies from various sectors provide a sound
scientific basis on which new results and findings are presented:
How do women and men deal with creativity and competition? How are
technologies applied and how can differences in access to
technology be deduced? Answers to these and other questions help
decision-makers in politics and business to proactively use the
differences between women and men to motivate women to work in the
STEM field and to strengthen them by acknowledging existing
differences.

Wissenschaftlicher Aufsatz aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich BWL -
Unternehmensfuhrung, Management, Organisation, Note: -,
Friedrich-Alexander-Universitat Erlangen-Nurnberg, Sprache:
Deutsch, Abstract: Der verstarkte Einsatz von Dienstleistungen zur
Produktions- und Absatzunterstutzung ist ein mittlerweile weit
verbreitetes Phanomen und kann gar als langfristiger Trend im
Industriebereich angesehen werden. Lange schon beobachtet man vor
allem in westlichen Industrienationen die sektorale Verschiebung
hin zu einer Dienstleistungsgesellschaft. So betrug bereits im Jahr
2004 das Umsatzvolumen von Dienstleistungen des verarbeitenden
Gewerbes in Deutschland 52,6 Mrd. Euro (Modinger & Redling,
2004, S.1). Produktbegleitende Dienstleistungen sind dabei ein
genanntes Schlagwort, ohne dass dies jedoch im Detail beschrieben
wird. Fur den Endverbraucher sind Kombinationen aus einem Produkt-
und einem Dienstleistungsangebot vor allem aus dem B2C Bereich
bekannt. In diesem Zusammenhang wird sehr haufig das Angebot
verbraucherorientierter Losungen thematisiert. Ein einfaches
Beispiel ist hier das Aufbauen und Einrichten des heimischen
Computers durch den Computerhandler (Ahlert et al., 2010, S.44). An
dieser Schnittstelle zwischen Endkunden und Unternehmen werden
produktbegleitende Dienstleistungen vor allem zur
Absatzunter-stutzung, Individualisierung und Differenzierung von
Wettbewerbern eingesetzt. Diese Arbeit konzentriert sich auf
produktbegleitende Dienstleistungen im B2B Bereich, da gerade hier
noch enorme Potenziale, aber auch hohe Wettbewerbsrisiken entstehen
konnen.
Wissenschaftlicher Aufsatz aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich BWL -
Unternehmensfuhrung, Management, Organisation,
Friedrich-Alexander-Universitat Erlangen-Nurnberg, Sprache:
Deutsch, Abstract: Diverse Studien zeigen, dass zwischen 40 und 90
Prozent aller neu eingefuhrten Produkte, je nach Branche, nach der
Markteinfuhrung scheitern (Gourville, 2006, S. 100). Ernst (2001,
S. 2f) beziffert die Misserfolgsquote bei der erfolgreichen
Umsetzung und Markteinfuhrung innovativer Produkte sogar auf 50 bis
80 Prozent. Vor diesem Hintergrund gewinnt das Marketing von
Innovationen - unternehmensintern wie auch unternehmensextern -
immer mehr an Bedeutung. Der Innovationskommunikation fallt hierbei
eine Schlusselrolle zu, da uber dieses Instrument die Innovation
nicht nur an den potentiellen Anwender, sondern auch an
Kooperationspartner etc. herangetragen wird. Im Rahmen dieses
Aufsatzes wird zunachst der theoretische Hintergrund zu
Innovationskommunikation aufgezeigt. Daruber hinaus wird
detailliert auf die externe Innovationskommunikation eingegangen,
welche die Verbreitung von Innovationen uber Kommunikationskanale
und die Erfolgsfaktoren fur die Kommunikation von Innovationen
umfasst. Darauf basierend wurde eine empirische Erhebung
durchgefuhrt, welche die Innovationskommunikation uber das Internet
und Web 2.0 zum Gegenstand hat. Als Untersuchungsobjekt wurden
insgesamt 21 deutsche und auslandische Unternehmen ausgewahlt, die
unterschiedlichen Branchen angehoren, ihren Schwerpunkt aber
jeweils in der industriellen Fertigung besitzen. Untersucht wurden
die Innovationskommunikation anhand der Kriterien
Vermittlungsbotschaft, Personifizierung, Gestaltung der Website
sowie Integration von sozialen Medien. Die Ergebnisse der
Auswertung werden in mehreren Teilergebnissen im Detail
dargestellt.

Hardly anybody outside a company knows its products and processes
better than its suppliers. Research confirms that intensive
integration of suppliers in the value creation process positively
influences the success of the company, particularly in highly
competitive industries. This is a result of the progressing
reduction in the depth of value creation of manufacturers and the
increasing transferof know-how towards suppliers. In multilevel
business-to-business relationships, suppliers often have the best
or the only access and comprehensive knowledge about the end users.
Therefore, suppliers determine the scope of possible innovations,
which most companies do not actively use. This unique volume
provides a comprehensive overview of theories, concepts and
especially empirical results on open innovation and the integration
of suppliers. For this, authors from all over the world present
their latest research results offering fascinating insights into
collaborative approaches with suppliers.
This book addresses the issue of modern medical innovations
management through an inductive approach by looking into cases
before putting forward solutions in terms of strategies and tools.
It provides a model for the designing and implementation of
effective healthcare technology management (HTM) systems in
hospitals and healthcare provider settings, as well as promotes a
new method of analysis of hospital organization for decision-making
regarding technology to show how systematic management using a
strategy that balances bottom-up and top-down driven innovations,
can deliver better medical technological advances.Managing Medical
Technological Innovations is organized in three parts. Part 1
covers innovation strategies, laying the groundwork and concepts in
design thinking. Part 2 follows by presenting the tools available
for implementation. And finally, Part 3 uses the case studies of
pharmaceutical firms in China and hospital medical record
management in Holland to illustrate how these ideas and
methodologies have been applied.This book is suitable for
healthcare administrators, management, and IT personnel involved in
the planning, expansion and maintaining of healthcare technology
management and organisation seeking a reference with most recent
approaches and cases from an international context; researchers
seeking new approaches to apply to emerging medical technologies in
different regions; and graduate students who are either doing their
research or taking introductory as well as advanced courses in
engineering and technology management in different parts of the
world.
