This Handbook offers a comprehensive and timely analysis of the nature and importance of innovation management and the strategies and practices that can be used to improve organizational benefits from innovation. Innovation is centrally important for business and national competitiveness and for the quality and standard of living around the world, but it does not happen by itself. For it to succeed it needs to be properly managed. With contributions from 48 world-leading scholars, the Handbook explores the many sources of innovation, the broader social, economic and technological contexts that encourage and constrain it, and the cutting-edge strategies and practices of innovation management.
The book addresses the traditional concerns of innovation management - such as managing R&D, intellectual property, and creativity, and the contributions of science and marketing - but substantially extends its fields of interest. In this new volume, chapters examine emerging topics including design, social networks, open and social innovation, and innovation in business models, ecosystems, services, and platforms. The book explores the importance of innovation management for environmental sustainability, and its evolving nature and practice in Japan and China.
Written in accessible style, and with carefully selected bibliographies, the Handbook offers a uniquely authoritative and wide-ranging source of knowledge about innovation management. Each chapter identifies key issues and reviews their most important research findings. Future research questions are identified. It will be invaluable for students and faculty studying, researching and teaching innovation, and for managers seeking to improve innovation outcomes in their organizations.
