This book offers fresh impulses from different industries on how to deal with innovation processes. Authors from different backgrounds, such as artificial intelligence, mechanical engineering, medical technology and law, share their experiences with enabling and managing innovation. The ability of companies to innovate functions as a benchmark to attract investors long-term. While each company has different preconditions and environments to adapt to, the authors give guidance in the fields of digitalization, workspaces and business model innovation.
This book introduces the reader to the latest innovations in fields such as artificial intelligence, systems biology or surgery, and gives advice on what new technologies to consider for becoming a market leader of tomorrow. Companies generally acquire information on these fields from various sources such as market reports, scientific literature or conference events, but find it difficult to distinguish between mere hype and truly valuable innovations. This book offers essential guidance in the form of structured and authoritative contributions by experts in innovative technologies spanning from biology and medicine to augmented reality and smart power grids. The authors identify high-potential fields and demonstrate the impact of their technologies to create economic value in real-world applications. They also offer business leaders advice on whether and how to implement these new technologies and innovations in their companies or businesses.

The COVID-19 pandemic has reminded us of how important the life science industry is, and compels us to find efficient management methods specific to the industry. Pharmaceuticals, drug and vaccine development labs, R&D labs, medical instrumentation, and tech companies, hygiene supply companies, medical distribution chains, all form an integral part of this industry. At the interface of scientific research, technology, innovation and management and embedded in regulatory and legal frameworks, life science management is still an under-researched field of practice and science. This edited volume addresses this research gap and offers a wide range of practical and theoretical contributions that provide insights into one of the most exciting industries. The book is primarily directed at practitioners and decision makers in the life science industry. Students and professionals of life science management at all levels as well as policy makers will find valuable insights and inspiration for their daily work and career development.
The past decade has brought to the fore the critical need to constantly envision and consider various scenarios where ongoing trends and sudden changes could together alter the provision of healthcare and the direction of medical research. This book brings together scholars whose areas of expertise represent different themes that are essential to understanding how healthcare might change and evolve over the next decade. What lessons can one take away from current and past developments? The themes explored by the book rest on four pillars. The first is the rapid pace and ubiquity of technological advances in areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, additive manufacturing and wearable electronics. The second pillar concerns healthy aging, longevity and the management of chronic diseases. The third is the imperative to remain cognizant of the ethical dimensions of medical decisions, adapting bioethics to ongoing changes in healthcare provision. Finally, the fourth pillar relates to how uncertainty in different domains of medical knowledge can be mitigated and translated into clinical practice. For example, how should uncertainty with the results of clinical trials for a new treatment be dealt with? What cost-benefit analyses would be most appropriate for the situation? Chapter authors identify respective challenges and promising opportunities, discussing how these could contribute to envisioning the future scope of healthcare when it comes to providing medical, economic and ethical values to human societies.

Während Digitalisierung, Innovationen, Forschung und Entwicklung im Bereich Medizintechnik und -produkte und Life Science die Diagnose- und Therapieverfahren verbessern und viele Fortschritte ermöglichen, werden andererseits durch den demografischen Wandel, den zunehmenden Fachkräftemangel, den Druck auf den deutschen Mittelstand und den immer stärker werdenden internationalen Wettbewerb, gesundheitsökonomische Grenzen für die Bezahlbarkeit unserer Gesundheit gesetzt, die Auswirkungen auf Quantität und Qualität der deutschen und europäischen Gesundheitsversorgung haben werden. Deshalb ist es besonders wichtig, rechtzeitig die Innovationspotenziale dieser Branche auszuloten und zu heben. Die Beiträge in diesem Buch zu Themen wie Cybersicherheit, betriebliches Gesundheitsmanagement, personalisierte Prävention, Psychologie, Technologie und Home Care liefern neue Ansätze und Impulse und leiten konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen für etablierte Unternehmen und Start-Ups in der Gesundheitswirtschaft ab.
Nichts ist älter als der Erfolg von gestern. Im internationalen Wettbewerb nimmt der Druck für Start-ups und etablierte Unternehmen zu: innovative Produkte und Dienstleistungen müssen in immer kürzeren Zyklen entwickelt und geliefert werden. Personalmangel, hohe Unternehmenssteuern und lange Antragswege sind nur einige der Innovationshemmnisse, die den Abstand deutscher Unternehmen zur Weltspitze vergrößern. Aktuelle weltpolitische Ereignisse offenbaren eine starke Abhängigkeit Deutschlands von Dritten, insbesondere bei Energie und Nahrung, aber auch bei der Digitalisierung. In allen Bereichen muss eine unternehmerische Trendwende eingeleitet werden. Dazu soll dieses Buch Impulse geben. Viele praxiserprobte Ideen und Anregungen aus der aktuellen Innovationsszene für die Bereiche Organisation, Vertrieb, Führung und Personalwesen werden vorgestellt - zumeist von Führungskräften, die wissen, "wie es geht". Ein Mix aus akademischen und praktischen Ansätzen zeigt den Lesern, wie diese erfahrenen Führungskräfte in ihren Betrieben mit Krisen, Herausforderungen und Innovationsprojekten umgegangen sind. Sie erhalten "lessons learned", die sie bei ihren eigenen Ansätzen für eine innovative Unternehmensführung unterstützen können.
Digital technologies are currently dramatically changing healthcare. This book introduces the reader to the latest digital innovations in healthcare in fields such as artificial intelligence, points out new ways in patient care and describes the limits of its application. It also offers essential guidance in the form of structured and authoritative contributions by domain experts spanning from artificial intelligence to hospital management to radiology to dentistry to preventive medicine. Furthermore, it shares ideas and experiences of industry veterans, in particular on how IT-driven solutions could solve long-standing issues in the fields of healthcare and hospitalization. It also gives advice on what new digital technologies to consider for becoming a healthcare market leader in the future. Taken together, these contributions provide a "road map" to guide decision makers, physicians, academics, industry representatives and other interested readers to understand the large impact of digital technology on healthcare today and its enormous potential for future development.
