For successful innovation in business the responsible managers need a consistent view of the individual processes as well as an assessment of key projects in all phases of the development. Generating new ideas, fast examination of its feasibility requires skilled methods for evaluation of these ideas, plans and especially costs and revenues.

Business models, calculation methods and some assessments of certain options are presented by the authors. The ability to identify risks and appropriate responses to misperceptions are important milestones in the innovation process. From analysis of problems to the introduction of market-ready solutions, legal requirements, business demands and risk management systems are discussed. Concepts promoting uniform, binding rules for ratings in the innovation process are treated. The identification of target pricing, target costing and litigation, the evaluation of the solution to calculate risk aspects as tasks in financial management and innovation controlling are part of the content.

The authors demonstrate that any innovation in different industries requires a strategic and financial project management. Monetary assessment of the individual processes, a detailed patent portfolio and accounts management for innovation processes are of enormous importance. The book is completed by applications of the Berlin Balanced Scorecard Concept with practical examples from the innovation projects in pharmaceutical and technical business.

Unternehmen benotigen das Wissen der Mitarbeiter, um Prozesse entlang der Produktentstehungs- und Wertschopfungskette, in der Projektarbeit und Vereinbarungen mit Partnern, Zulieferern und Kunden konstruktiv nutzen zu konnen. Kundenbedurfnisse gilt es strukturiert festzuhalten und fruhzeitig in den Prozess zu integrieren.
Durch ein organisiertes Wissensmanagement konnen nicht nur langfristig kurzere Produktlebenszyklen, die Wissensintensitat und die Aktualitat des Wissens gesteigert und zielsicher und schnell verfugbar gemacht werden, sondern dadurch erfahrt auch der Unternehmenswert eine Steigerung.
Eine verkurzte Wertschopfungskette im Unternehmen und ein schlankerer Produktprozess fuhren zur Erhohung des Unternehmenswerts. Wie dieses Wissen in der Praxis erfasst, strukturiert, standig auf dem Laufenden gehalten und jederzeit gut zuganglich gemacht wird, daruber berichten die Autoren."

Um Innovationen in Unternehmen zum Erfolg zu f hren, m ssen Einzelprozesse betrachtet und Schl sselphasen bewertet werden. Die Autoren stellen betriebswirtschaftliche Modelle, Berechnungsmethoden und Bewertungen von Handlungsoptionen f r ein strategisches und operatives Innovationsmanagement vor. Viele Berechnungs- und Praxisbeispiele belegen, wie wichtig ein strategisches Management mit monet rer Bewertung der Einzelprozesse und des Patentportfolios ist ganz unabh ngig von der Branche.
