Download or read book Knowledge Intensive Business Services written by Marcela Miozzo and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides convincing findings against the hypothesis of KIBS as a factor of cognitive convergence or loss of diversity within our economies. On the contrary, KIBS are active agents of divergence and there is no universal pattern of the nature and the evolution of KIBS, but national varieties. It also shows that in order to well understand the inter-organizational collaboration between KIBS and their clients and more generally KIBS dynamics and their performance, transaction cost economies and agent theory should be complemented by other perspectives such as knowledge-based approaches, network theories, modularity theories, etc. This book, which is strongly oriented towards both policy and theoretical questions, is a valuable addition to a body of literature which is still too scarce. No doubt that it will stimulate further research in this field. It is undoubtedly a high level, knowledge intensive service provision about knowledge intensive business services. Faïz Gallouj, University of Lille, France This book focuses on the development of Knowledge Intensive Business Services (KIBS) and the associated market characteristics and organisational forms. It brings together reputed scholars from a mix of disciplines to explore the nature and evolution of a range of Knowledge Intensive Business Services. Through an examination of KIBS sectors such as computer services, management consultancy and R&D services, the contributions in this book argue that the evolution of KIBS is strongly associated with new inter-organizational forms and that different country institutions shape the characteristics of these organisational forms. The book provides a strong contribution to theory and empirical evidence on fast-growing KIBS and their implications for innovation. The book will be of interest to final year undergraduates and postgraduate students and scholars in the field of innovation studies, organisation studies and comparative business systems, across Europe.

Download or read book Open Services Innovation written by Henry Chesbrough and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-01-18 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The father of "open innovation" is back with his most significant book yet. Henry Chesbrough’s acclaimed book Open Innovation described a new paradigm for management in the 21st century. Open Services Innovation offers a new approach that demonstrates how open innovation combined with a services approach to business is an effective and powerful way to grow and compete in our increasingly services-driven economy. Chesbrough shows how companies in any industry can make the critical shift from product- to service-centric thinking, from closed to open innovation where co-creating with customers enables sustainable business models that drive continuous value creation for customers. He maps out a strategic approach and proven framework that any individual, business unit, company, or industry can put to work for renewed growth and profits. The book includes guidance and compelling examples for small and large companies, services businesses, and emerging economies, as well as a path forward for the innovation industry. "Whether you are managing a product or a service, your business needs to become more open and more inclusive in order to be more innovative. Open Services Innovation will be an invaluable guide to intrepid managers who commit to making that journey." —GARY HAMEL, visiting professor, London Business School; director, Management Lab; and author, The Future of Management "I tore out page after page to share with my leaders. Chesbrough has pioneered an entire rethink of business innovation that’s rich in concept, deeply explained, with tools ready to use in every industry." —SCOTT COOK, founder and chairman of the executive committee, Intuit "Focusing on core competence often tempts managers to keep continuing what succeeded in the past. A far more important question is what capabilities are critical in the future, and Chesbrough shows how to ask and answer these issues." —CLAYTON CHRISTENSEN, Robert & Jane Cizik Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School, and author, The Innovator's Dilemma "To thrive, businesses will need to master the lessons of open service innovation. Here is their one-stop guidebook with important lessons clearly and compellingly presented." —JAMES C. SPOHRER, director, IBM University Programs World-Wide "Open Innovation pioneer Henry Chesbrough breaks new ground with Open Services Innovation, a persuasive argument for the power of co-creation in the world of services." —TOM KELLEY, general manager, IDEO, and author, The Ten Faces of Innovation, The Art of Innovation "With his trademark style of beautifully explained examples, Henry Chesbrough shows how open service innovation and new business models can help you escape this product commodity trap and bring you to the next level of competition." —ALEX OSTERWALDER, author, Business Model Generation "Open Services Innovation shows how a business can redefine itself as a service organisation and tap into faster growth through shared innovation." —SIR TERRY LEAHY, chief executive, Tesco "Chesbrough shows how innovating openly with a services mindset can make you a market leader." —CHARLENE LI, author, Open Leadership, and founder, Altimeter Group

Download or read book Effective Software Development for Enterprise Beyond DDD Software Architecture and XP written by Tengiz Tutisani and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-18 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book about building high-quality software solutions via engineering excellence, software architecture, and leadership best practices. * * * "This book is a must-read for both technical and non-technical readers: software engineers, architects, managers and even top-level executives. It will give you the tools you need to become an effective technology leader. The tools provided will apply whether your organization is focused on delivering software to external customers or has the need for internal solutions. The book has a no nonsense approach and provides concrete solutions to common obstacles to delivering a cost-effective and long-lived software solution." -- Dave Black, Solutions & Performance Architect, Black Box Solutions, Inc. * * * "I have been developing software for over 30 years, and based on that experience, I am confident that the modern comprehensive approach laid out in this book will work better than that in any environment I have seen to date. This is the book many of us have been waiting for. It is mostly based on Domain-Driven Design, which may seem counterintuitive to many at first, but the author astutely explains how it saves so much pain in the longer term, which thus maximizes ROI. It is highly relevant that the approach in this book is the product of the author's first-hand experience. There is nothing theoretical about it. It is entirely pragmatic. For example, it recognizes the purpose of profit. In fact, I found it to be more pragmatic than many other industry luminaries. All roles are covered, and in a way that is respectful to all of them. The first three sections are a must-read for non-technical team members, such as product owners. Its style and size make it a quick read with reference links to any deeper dives one may wish to make." -- Jim Hammond, Lead Developer, Kantar * * * "I have found this book to be an all-encompassing eye-opener about all-things software development, starting from requirements analysis through successful releases. As a technology leader, I think it is worth considering techniques demonstrated in the "Effective Software Development for Enterprise" in organizations that want to change and run engineering processes and teams in a more efficient manner that delivers business value and improves morale." -- Lasha Kochoradze, CTO at Nugios Technology * * * "I enjoyed reading the "Effective Software Development for Enterprise" because this is a unique book. Besides presenting techniques to implement Effective Software, the author tries to defeat the status quo and shift our mindset into a "what if" mode. This engraved passion and belief make the book a special one, which I would recommend to executives, architects, and other engineering leaders. I have seen and heard Tengiz succeed with the approaches he presents in this book. If he could do this, why can't anybody else?" -- Nugzar Nebieridze, Entrepreneur, Expert of Cybersecurity, Ex-CIO at Liberty Bank Georgia * * * "This book uncovers fundamental issues that are inherent to many large organizations. Take Agile teams as an example - they need to adapt to changes fast, but a confusing graph of dependencies makes it impossible to deliver features independently; how are they supposed to be agile then? Departments and groups are formed based on managerial preferences rather than the business problems that the company solves. Systems are built based on what is easy to develop rather than what is right to deliver. The "Effective Software Development for Enterprise" fearlessly exposes gaps in organizational structures, processes, and technical systems. Being an Agile practitioner for years, I think this publication is up-and-coming, and I look forward to seeing companies adopting these suggestions and forming more scalable teams, processes, and applications." -- Romana Stasiv, Agile Fellow
