China is dramatically catching up and is rapidly becoming a leading technological innovator on the global scale. The number of Chinese firms with global ambitions is growing fast, more and more technological innovation is coming from China, and the number of patents in China is also growing steadily. The negative side of this development is the still insufficient protection of intellectual property in China. The phenomenon of counterfeits originating from China has increased constantly over the past two decades. Moreover, within the past ten years the scale of intellectual property theft has risen exponentially in terms of its sophistication, volume, the range of goods, and the countries affected. This book addresses managers dealing with innovation in China, and offers concrete advice on how Western firms can benefit from these innovations. Among others, it provides examples and checklists to help decision-makers active in China. "
Presenting a broad literature review of scholarly work in the area of Business Model Innovation, this new book analyses 50 management theories in the context of BMI to yield valuable new insights. Research on BMI is still in its infancy and has so far proved to be more than just a sub-discipline of strategy or innovation research. Exploring the field of Business Innovation demonstrates the importance of the discipline as a more specialized management research field and offers new understandings of this important subject. It presents 'grand theories' that will help researchers approach BMI through a different angle and describes business models as phenomena, enabling readers to understand their patterns and mechanisms. Reviewing the most important academic work on the subject over the last 15 years, the authors aim to open up the debate and inspire researchers to look at this phenomenon from new and different angles.
This book shows the patterns of the fuzzy front end of innovation and how it can be managed successfully. Topics in this book cover traditional instruments and processes such as technology monitoring, market-oriented research management, lead-user developments, but also modern approaches such as frontloading, user community-driven innovation, crowdsourcing, anthropological expeditions, technological listening posts in global R&D settings, cross-industry innovation processes, open innovation, and IP cycle management. Contributions are based on latest research and cases studies on this new paradigm. The authors investigate this phenomenon, linking the practice of the early innovation phase to the established body of innovation research. Conceptional articles complement case studies to provide the reader with insight on managing the fuzzy front end of innovation.Lessons learned with success factors and checklists complement each chapter.

A strong business model is the bedrock to business success. But all too often we fail to adapt, clinging to outdated business models that are no longer promising the results we need. This new edition builds on the well-known methodology of the first edition to allow you to innovate, test and implement new business models within your industry. Discover the idea of business model innovation, from structuring the process of innovation of a company's business model to encouraging outside-the-box thinking. With expert authors, The Business Model Navigator combines learning research with evidence of high practical impact, allowing you to master the transformation journey and lead your business to success.
If R&D and innovation in the 1990s were about more internationalization, more corporate entrepreneurship, and more information-integration, then the 2000s have been about consolidating and expanding these trends further: more globalization including the technology mavericks of China and India, more open and inbound innovation integrating external technology providers, and more web- and Intern- enabling of innovation processes by involving R&D contributors regardless of their location. The corporate R&D powerhouses of the 1980s are now mostly history. Even where they survived, they had to yield to corporate efficiency efforts and business-wide integration programs. Still, it would be unfair to belittle them in retrospect as they have found new roles in corporate R&D and innovation n- works. In fact, the very successes of centralized R&D organizations of the 1970s and 1980s made possible the revolution of globalized innovation that we have been witnessing since the 1990s. The first two editions of Managing Global Innovation, published in 1999 and 2000, were testimonials of an increasingly internationalizing world of innovation and R&D. In this third edition of Managing Global Innovation, we have retained the basic structure of two conceptual parts (I and II) and three case study parts (III, IV, V). However, we have greatly revised all chapters, including the final "Imp- cations" chapter (part VI), and incorporated new chapters and cases that illuminate and describe the recent trends in the context of the beginnings of global innovation in the 1980s and 1990s.
Pharmaceutical giants have doubled their investments in drug development in the past decade only to see new drug approvals remain constant. This book investigates and highlights a set of proactive strategies aimed at generating sustainable competitive advantage based on value-generating business practices. We focus on three sources of pharmaceutical innovation: new management methods in the drug development pipeline, new technologies as enablers for cutting-edge R&D, and new forms of cooperation and internationalization, such as open innovation in the early phases of R&D. Our findings are illustrated by cases from Europe, the US, and Asia.
“A must-read for every innovator and transformator!†-    - Franziska Tschudi Sauber, President of the Board, Weidmann Group "Collaborative Advantage is packed with great examples and useful insights into innovating for the future. It is an essential guide for anyone interested in Open Innovation." -    - Henry Chesbrough, author of Open Innovation, Professor UC Berkeley “In today’s dynamic markets, companies need to collaborate to have access to all assets and capabilities necessary to out-innovate competitors. However, to collaborate effectively is an organizational capability that needs to be build and nurtured. This book shows how.†-    - Claudio Feser, Co-Founder Leadership Practice McKinsey & Company “Transformation is a necessity in the new business environment. Collaborative Advantage outlines how to do it in a sustainable way.†-    - Marianne Janik, CEO Microsoft Germany  The world is changing faster than ever before. Technological disruptions, AI, digital value chains, new ecosystems, and hyper competition are challenging companies. How can managers keep up with the speed of change? Dominant thinking has centered around the concept of ‘competitive advantage,’ - taught to generations of MBA students. But this is no longer enough. Instead, leaders have to think much more in terms of which networks and partnerships they can leverage in order to create and secure the future of their company. Collaborative advantage is the new imperative for the next decades. In this book, the authors analyze how exceptional leaders have not only survived but thrived in volatility by skillfully orchestrating agile collaborative networks with customers, partners and start-ups. In-depth case studies and personal reflections of these leaders provide you with actionable inspirations for your own practice. Underpinned with cutting edge research, it illustrates how these collaborations can be managed in a data-driven way.Â

Transformation through digital innovation is becoming an imperative for every city. The 'Smart City' concept promises to solve the most urgent queries of progressive urbanization in the area of mobility, energy, water supply, security, housing deprivation, and inclusion. Despite the exploitation of existing potential in lighthouse-cities that include Barcelona, London, Munich, Lyon, and Vienna, the less tenacious pursuit of smart city possibilities in the majority of municipalities has resulted in major discrepancies between leading smart cities and those that are less aspirational. Although the necessity of action is frequently recognized, an appropriate path of action remains obscure. Smart Cities: Introducing Digital Innovation to Cities offers answers, with clarifying examples, to questions that have remained unanswered for many cities. The book identifies and addresses the core elements and potential of smart cities, best practice methods and tools to be implemented, as well as how diverse stakeholders might be effectively integrated. Based on perennial international research in the field of smart cities, this book brings together the authors' collective experience in practice-based political, administrative, and economic projects to provide a common framework to guide and engage key stakeholders in the transformation and realization of smart cities.

Christoph H. Wecht untersucht die Frage, wie eine aktive
Integration von Kunden in die Fruhphase des Innovationsprozesses
effizient und effektiv gestaltet und gefuhrt werden kann. Der Autor
entwickelt eine Methode zur Gestaltung der fruhen Kundenintegration
in den Innovationsprozess und gibt operative
Gestaltungsempfehlungen.
Die Anforderungen an das Management von Innovation haben sich durch
Globalisierung des Wettbewerbs, die Fragmentierung der Markte und
die Individualisierung der Kundenwunsche verandert. Sie erfordern
eine hohere Produktvielfalt und kurzere Innovationszyklen. Im
Handbuch Technologie- und Innovationsmanagement dokumentieren
renommierte Wissenschaftler und Fuhrungskrafte auf einer breiten,
interdisziplinaren Basis den Erkenntnisstand und die zukunftigen
Entwicklungsrichtungen. In Unternehmensbeispielen greifen sie
aktuelle Themen auf und beschreiben deren Umsetzung in die
Praxis.
