Book Synopsis Strategic Management of Innovation and Design by : Pascal Le Masson
Download or read book Strategic Management of Innovation and Design written by Pascal Le Masson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-09 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is now widespread agreement that innovation holds the key to future economic and social prosperity in developed countries. Experts studying contemporary capitalism also agree that the battle against unemployment and relocations can only be won through innovation. But what kind of innovation is required and what is the best way to manage, steer and organize it? Grounded on experiences of innovative firms and based on recent design theories, this book argues that instead of relying on traditional R&D and project management techniques, the strategic management of innovation must be based on innovative design activities. It analyses and explains new management principles and techniques that deal with these activities, including innovation fields, lineages, C-K (Concept-Knowledge) diagrams and design spaces. The book is ideal for advanced courses in innovation management in industrial design schools, business schools, engineering schools, as well as managers looking to improve their practice.

Book Synopsis Innovation, Science, and Institutional Change by : Jerald Hage
Download or read book Innovation, Science, and Institutional Change written by Jerald Hage and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-10-26 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovation is central to the dynamics and success of organizations and society in the modern world, the process famously referred to by Schumpeter as 'gales of creative destruction'. This ambitious and wide ranging book makes the case for a new approach to the study of innovation. It is the editors' conviction that this approach must accomplish several objectives: it must recognise that innovation encompasses changes in organizations and society, as well as products and processes; it must be genuinely interdisciplinary and include contributes from economics, sociology, management and political science; It must be international, to reflect both different patterns or systems of innovation, and different research traditions; and it must reflect the fundamental changes taking place in science, research and knowledge creation at all levels. To this end they have gathered together a distinguished group of economists, sociologists, political scientists, and organization, innovation and institutional theorists to both assess current research on innovation, and to set out a new research agenda. This has been achieved through careful planning and development of the project, and also through the ensuing structure of the book which looks in turn at Product and Process Innovation (perhaps the best established focus of existing research on innovation), Scientific Research (assessing the changing character of basic research and science policy); Knowledge Dynamics in Context (encompassing organizational learning in all its aspects); and Institutional Change (an analysis of the institutional context that can shape, enable and constrain innovation). This carefully integrated and wide ranging book will be an ideal reference point for academics and researchers across the Social Sciences interested in all dimensions of innovation - be they in the field of Management Studies, Economics, Organization Studies, Sociology, Political Science and Science and Technology Studies.

Book Synopsis The Innovation Odyssey by : Christophe Midler
Download or read book The Innovation Odyssey written by Christophe Midler and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-04-21 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Affordable is not typically the first adjective used to describe an electric automobile. This book traces the history of an affordable electric car, from its genesis to its marketing. This history is more than a singular adventure. It is the analysis of a project that allows us to understand the key issues of strategy and management of contemporary innovation. The book features in lessons in: Strategy revealing the complexity of international product development and the conditions for its implementation in today’s fragmented world Project management showing what is required to succeed in the a priori impossible challenge of a design within an alliance between five partners from four different countries Innovation demonstrating that the electrification of mobility can be combined with affordable prices Industrial policy using the emblematic domain of electric vehicles to illustrate the major role of public authorities in technology, the future direction of this role, and the importance in the competition between Western and Chinese industries Intrapreneurship showing that a start-up is not the only context in which it is possible to attempt and experience breakthroughs.
Book Synopsis Working on Innovation by : Christophe Midler
Download or read book Working on Innovation written by Christophe Midler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-09-10 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid-1980s, the development of competitive strategies based on intensive innovation has deeply transformed the design of new products and services. Much has been written about new methods and organizations that are likely to develop economically competitive and creative capacities in companies. But much less has been written about transformation of work and identity of professionals involved in these transitions : engineers, industrial designers, researchers, professionals in marketing strategy and especially project managers. The work of “innovation professionals” is truly difficult to observe because of its very nature (intangible work done over a long period of time), its inaccessibility, and its status. The purpose of this book is to put forward a number of keys for understanding the ongoing dynamics for working professionals in the field of innovation. Examining reorganizations in both large-scale firms and start-ups, the authors explore diverse sectors such as hi-tech, consumer goods and equipment, chemistry, aeronautics as well as upstream companies working for subsidiaries and traditional small-scale production such. The result is to show a world of networks where a large-scale firm undertakes research in partnership with a start-up, develops its products with independent designers and involves upstream suppliers in its developments. Also analyzed are the industrial strategies, the organizational conditions of product conception, and the dynamics of the professional identities of the actors who are at the core of these transformations. This impressive and unique volume will be of interest to all those interested in innovation studies, new technology policy and management as well as engineers and designers themselves.
Download or read book Cow Up a Tree written by LEARN Group and published by Editions Quae. This book was released on 2000 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western societies are calling for speedy change in agriculture and the agrifood industries to incorporate new quality criteria into the goods they produce. To promote these changes what scientists must develop are not universally implementable technical solutions, but self-diagnosis methods to be used by agricultural producers and their advisors. They also need to evolve new procedures for research intervention in collective organisations. There is a need for new individual and collective learning and organisation processes based on transdisciplinarity and co-learning among researchers, development professionals, decision makers and farmers. In this book, scientists from ten industrialised countries describe and reflect on their theoretical and practical experience of the different forms of learning they experimented with.
Book Synopsis Everyday Engineering by : Dominique Vinck
Download or read book Everyday Engineering written by Dominique Vinck and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2009-01-23 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to the everyday working world of engineers, written by researchers trained in both engineering and sociology. Everyday Engineering was written to help future engineers understand what they are going to be doing in their everyday working lives, so that they can do their work more effectively and with a broader social vision. It will also give sociologists deeper insights into the sociotechnical world of engineering. The book consists of ethnographic studies in which the authors, all trained in both engineering and sociology, go into the field as participant-observers. The sites and types of engineering explored include mechanical design in manufacturing industries, instrument design, software debugging, environmental management within companies, and the implementation of a system for separating household waste. The book is organized in three parts. The first part introduces the complexity of technical practices. The second part enters the social and cultural worlds of designers to grasp their practices and motivations. The third part examines the role of writing practices and graphical representation. The epilogue uses the case studies to raise a series of questions about how objects can be taken into account in sociological analyses of human organizations.
Book Synopsis Handbook of Collaborative Management Research by : A. B. Shani
Download or read book Handbook of Collaborative Management Research written by A. B. Shani and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2007-08-23 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides the latest thinking, methodologies and cases in the rapidly growing area of collaborative management research. What makes collaborative management research different is its emphasis on creating a close partnership between scholars and practitioners in the search for knowledge concerning organizations and complex systems. In the ideal situation, scholars and their managerial partners would work together to define the research focus, develop the methods to be used for data collection, participate equally in the analysis of data, and work together in the application and dissemination of knowledge. The handbook contains insightful reflections on the state of the art as well as detailed descriptions of the collaborative efforts of an international group of leading edge academics and their practitioner counterparts. The applications of collaborative research methods included in this volume include those aimed at individual development, organizational development, regional development efforts and economic policy. The insights from the cases suggest that collaborative management research has been a highly effective means of getting at issues that other research methods and intervention techniques have failed to address. The rationale for conducting this highly engaging type of research is explored in the first section of the handbook, followed by sections that offer new methodologies, descriptive cases, views from those directly involved, and issues and enablers about the use of this approach in advancing knowledge and practice. The handbook does appeal to scholarly practitioners as well as practical scholars.
Book Synopsis Ecodesign and Ecoinnovation in the Food Industries by : Gwenola Yannou-Le Bris
Download or read book Ecodesign and Ecoinnovation in the Food Industries written by Gwenola Yannou-Le Bris and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-02-26 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovations of agri-food systems during the last 50 years have been guided by a globalized agro-industrial paradigm, which has contributed to climate change, degradation of natural resources, soil depletion, social inequalities, loss of biodiversity and various food-related health problems. Despite the increasing emphasis of food policies and research to address these issues with ecologically sustainable innovations, there are still no studies that explain how to utilize and integrate ecodesign practices in food products development in a world of finite resources. This book explains how to employ ecodesign in business models to address the economic, social, environmental, and nutritional problems that face the worlds food systems. The lessons of the ÉcoTrophélia project ? a unique program implemented by a group of European agricultural higher education institutions to involve students in designing and developing food ecoinnovation projects ? are explored. Through an analysis of these projects, the authors describe the tools, methods and standards that were developed to institute ecodesign into the business models of 11 ecologically-friendly food products. This book provides operational good practices that can be implemented in educational programs and agri-food industries, to orient learning and practices towards greater sustainability.

Book Synopsis Déterminants Économiques de L'innovation by : Randall Morck
Download or read book Déterminants Économiques de L'innovation written by Randall Morck and published by Industrie Canada. This book was released on 2001 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores what economists know about the economics of innovation. It identifies key empirical research on different aspects of what causes the pace of innovation to be faster or slower. A selective survey of empirical work on the determinants of innovation, guided by relevant economic theory, discusses the economics of information & its relation to innovation; the effects on the pace of innovation of the strength of intellectual property rights, firm size & market structure, geographic distribution of firms, corporate decision-making, national culture, financial systems, human capital accumulation, and checks on inequality; and whether government policy determines innovation.
Book Synopsis Les paradoxes de l'économie du savoir by : GUILHON Bernard
Download or read book Les paradoxes de l'économie du savoir written by GUILHON Bernard and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2012-09-14 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La connaissance joue un rôle fondamental dans l'évolution des sociétés contemporaines, les mécanismes de production, d'appropriation et de dissémination des connaissances se heurtent aujourd'hui aux contraintes de la globalisation. Les fondements et les mécanismes de fonctionnement d'une économie immatérielle se trouvent ainsi remis en cause dans de nombreux domaines (stratégies R&D et d'innovation des agents économiques, gestion de l'environnement, dispositifs de formation, analyse macroéconomique des économies, etc.). Cette remise en cause, dont la lecture se fait à travers l'analyse des stratégies et des comportements des acteurs économiques, suscite la formation de paradoxes, voire de contradictions. Après avoir mis en évidence les repères, les trajectoires et les promesses que dessine l'économie du savoir, cet ouvrage propose d'explorer les singularités de la production et l'usage des connaissances, les processus de qualification et de gestion des ressources cognitives, mais également ceux qui ont trait au fonctionnement des économies.
