Regional Innovation And Global

Regional Innovation And Global

First Published in 1999. The process of globalization is shaped and reinforced by a rapidly changing knowledge environment. As economies become less constrained national frontiers they become more geographically specialized. Thus important elements of the innovation process tend to become regional rather than national. In this new environment large corporations are weakening their links with their home country spreading their innovation activities to source different regional systems of innovation. Regional networks of forms are creating new forms of learning and production. The aim of this book is to broaden both conceptually and empirically the 'national systems of innovation' approach developed by Lundvall Freeman Nelson and others. While recognizing the creative nature of economic adjustment in a turbulent world and the highly uneven distribution of economic growth the national systems approach lacks a mechanism by which to understand innovation when realistic unit of analysis is no longer the nation state. Written by leading scholars in the field this book provides a ground-breaking examination of sub-regional systems of innovation in an interconnected global economy. | Regional Innovation And Global

New Models of Inclusive Innovation for Development

New Models of Inclusive Innovation for Development

Inequality and innovation are both rising issues on the international development agenda. Their intersection is inclusive innovation; defined as the inclusion within some aspect of innovation of groups who are currently marginalised. This is a topic of increasing interest and activity. Large firms have been working to deliver innovative goods and services for base-of-the-pyramid consumers: the c. 3 billion who live on less than US$2 per day. Within poor communities an influx of new technology finance and capabilities has spurred more localised innovation. A variety of different models have been identified by which this activity is organised and implemented such as inclusive innovation clusters grassroots innovation frugal innovation innovation platforms and inclusive user-producer interactions. This book explores the operation conceptualisation and impact of these models and analyses the nature of inclusive innovation practice and research. It will be of interest to researchers policy-makers strategists and other practitioners associated with these new forms of innovation. This book was originally published as a special issue of Innovation and Development. | New Models of Inclusive Innovation for Development

The Framework for Innovation A Guide to the Body of Innovation Knowledge

The Framework for Innovation A Guide to the Body of Innovation Knowledge

The innovation infrastructure and master plan described in this book offers a detailed and comprehensive approach to one of the most difficult and challenging problems facing entrepreneurs involved in innovation at any scale enterprise: the problem of how to govern your organization’s innovation initiatives in the middle of turbulent change. Progress in any field requires the development of a framework a structure that organizes the accumulating knowledge enables people to master it and unifies the key discoveries into a set of principles that makes them understandable and actionable. For starters successful innovation requires an integrated design process beginning with integration in the design of the enterprise the design of the product along with the design and implementation of new technologies. Such an integrated design effort requires good collaboration and management of the design framework and should be supported by efficient knowledge management techniques and tools; If innovation is to help a business grow and improve its competitiveness it is also important to plan the innovation carefully. This book provides a holistic multidisciplinary framework that will enable your organization and its leaders to take a strategic approach to innovation. The framework combines non-traditional creative approaches to business innovation with conventional strategy development models. The framework model brings together perspectives from many complementary disciplines: the non-traditional approaches to innovation found in the business creativity movement; multiple-source strategy consulting; the new product development perspective of many leading industrial design firms; qualitative consumer/customer research; future-based research found in think tanks and traditional scenario planning; and organizational development (OD) practices that examine the effectiveness of an organization’s culture processes and structure. Though some ideas may just fall from the sky or come out of the blue an organization should also have a strategic vision of how the business and the enterprise will successfully develop. It should not just wait for the innovation to arrive arbitrarily but rather proactively plan for innovation incorporating market trends the competitive landscape new technology availability and changes in customer preferences and trends in order to create a flexible in-house innovation process. Such an enterprise will also pro-actively manage the knowledge supply chain that supports innovation as outlined in this book #7 of Management Handbook for Results series. The framework outlined in this handbook consists of a well-integrated cohesive set of practices that inspires imaginative innovation teams to look beyond the obvious and explore a broad range of possibilities to identify significant opportunities and make informed decisions about the most promising paths to pursue. The goal is to create a shared vision for growth along with defining pragmatic action plans that bridge from the future back to the present while attempting to align the organization around the requirements for success. | The Framework for Innovation A Guide to the Body of Innovation Knowledge

Capability Building and Global Innovation Networks

Capability Building and Global Innovation Networks

This book explores the dynamics of global innovation networks and their implications for development. Knowledge is often seen as the main determinant of economic growth competitiveness and employment. There is a strong causal interaction between capability building and the growth in demand for and supply of technical and organizational innovation. This complex of skills knowledge and innovation holds great potential benefit for development particularly in the context of developing countries. However despite evidence of the increasing importance of knowledge and innovation there has been relatively little research to understand the distribution and coordination of innovation and knowledge-intensive economic activities on a global scale – and what this might mean for economic development. Each chapter – though sharing an underlying conception of innovation systems innovation networks and their relation to capability-building and development – takes a different theoretical stance. The authors explore the emerging relationship between competence building and the structure of global innovation networks thus providing a valuable new perspective from which to critically assess their development potential. This book was originally published as a special issue of Innovation and Development. | Capability Building and Global Innovation Networks

Accounting Innovation and Inter-Organisational Relationships

Accounting Innovation and Inter-Organisational Relationships

Successful innovation is a true challenge and especially when today’s companies are intertwined in close inter-organisational relationships and networks with e. g. customers and suppliers. Research has indicated that accounting can play important roles in such innovation processes but there is little in-depth systematic knowledge about this issue. Accounting Innovation and Inter-Organisational Relationships gathers leading researchers from all around the world to argue for the importance of more systematic knowledge about accounting innovation and inter-organisational relationships. Accounting Innovation and Inter-Organisational Relationships thus becomes an important source for researchers and practitioners interested in accounting and inter-organisational relationships as well as the related disciplines of management marketing innovation and strategy.

Diversities of Innovation

Diversities of Innovation

Innovation is often understood exclusively in terms of the economy but it is definitely a result of human labour and ingenuity and of the relationships among individuals and social groups. Some societies and governmental structures are clearly more successful than others: they act in divergent ways fostering innovation and employment and they utilize varied opportunities from different fields of research from new products and from their educational systems. Thus innovation varies fundamentally between countries and public policies – in matters such as energy technology environmental technologies facing climate change and advancing conditions of life – can be determined according to different societies’ needs. This volume brings together a range of world experts to compare countries and continents and help develop a fuller picture of innovations and their social basis. It will be of interest to researchers in regional studies and economics as well as labour unions practitioners and policy makers. | Diversities of Innovation

Bringing Forth Prosperity Capacity Innovation in Africa

Bringing Forth Prosperity Capacity Innovation in Africa

Path to Capacity Innovation: An Africa-MNC Strategic Alliance a policy framework is advanced proposing a strategic alliance between African countries -represented by NEPAD- and the multinational corporation with input from the NGO and couched upon an NEPAD-MNC-NGO cross-fertilizing integrative structure. Capacity innovation is the key to Africa's transformation: with the appropriate catalysts innovation and transformation are but a matter of time in gestation. The first of two major catalysts necessary to prompting this change so long sought by Africans came at the adoption of the New Partnership for Africa's Development. It is one of the most profound collaborations of African Heads of State. The second catalyst is proposed in this work in the form of the multinational corporation as change agent for the innovation process working in alliance with NEPAD as Africa's spokesperson for innovation. The policy framework for African capacity innovation is the material product along with discourse for redress of corruption and security policy narrative for protecting the assets of multinational corporations. Bringing Forth Prosperity: Capacity Innovation in Africa questions capital theory as a development construct and an appropriate platform upon which sustained capacity innovation in Africa may emerge; explores Africa's road to modernity in the context of selected development constructs and assesses capacity innovation from a top down-bottom up perspective purposely to serve as backdrop to the Africa-MNC strategic alliance framework; constructs country capacity ID to identify internal resources available to African countries to support capacity innovation; conceptualizes the Africa-MNC strategic alliance to convey a capacity innovation philosophy; articulates an African capacity innovation policy framework to guide the Alliance through a series of actions designed to prompt innovation activity and set the continent on a course to sustained transformation; and articulates a scheme to protect assets -human and physical- derived through the Africa-MNC strategic alliance. | Bringing Forth Prosperity Capacity Innovation in Africa
