Deconstruct the history of patterns of innovation in business and
connect them to existing and failed attempts in management
consultancies, engineering, web technologies and academic
institutions. This book shows you how to create an optimal
environment at work for growth and innovation. Many large-scale
organizations eventually invest in research and innovation as a
dedicated part of their businesses. In doing so, they are faced
with two choices: build their own practice of innovation or enact
patterns of innovation created before them, ones they perceived as
"tried and tested." In this book, you will see how patterns of
innovation touch many aspects of a worker's life: from how their
work is presented to others, job titles, working environment, and
expectations around output. Every chapter will offer a history of
these patterns and examples of how they have succeeded and failed
within organizations. What You Will Learn Identify how innovation
is named and highlighted in organizations Reveal ways to champion
innovation to clients and the outside world, from trade shows and
conferences inside the office Uncover ways companies acquire
innovation, including incubators or mergers Discover the conditions
for innovation to happen every day, including office layouts, time
management, communication structures, and expectation management

Examine the history of smart homes, how technology shapes our
lives, and ways you can think about the home when developing new
products. This book presents the opportunities in the homespace
that will come from understanding the history and multiple players
that have contributed to the development of the home in general.
You'll start by breaking down the historical, societal and
political context for the changes in focus of that 'smartness' from
affordability, efficiency, convenience to recently experimentation.
The second half of the book then reviews what current developments
tell us about what our homes will look like in the next 10 years
through the lens of spaces, services, appliances and behaviours in
our homes. Over the past 100 years, the home has been a
battleground for ideas of future living. Fueled by the
electrification of cities, the move from the country to cities,
post-war recovery and the development of the internet, the way we
live at home (alone or with others) has changed beyond recognition.
Science fiction writing, the entertainment industry, art, and
modern interior design and architecture movements have also
contributed to defining our aspirations around a future and now
more present and possible 'smart' home. Smarter Homes looks at the
many new and innovative products that are being developed in the
consumer and industrial spaces with a copy-paste mindset based on
following larger businesses, such as Amazon, Google and Apple. What
You'll Learn Understand the historical context for current smart
home products Review the social aspect of home product development
Discover new home technologies being developed and which ones are
available now Track the industry behaviors being leveraged and how
they may affect longer term market trends for consumer products Who
This Book Is For Everyone working in product design and
development, in R&D or in trends research, as well as those
interested in the IoT for the home. This book will also give
product business owners ideas about what has been done before and
and avenues for future development.
