Download or read book Continuous Innovation with DevOps written by Rainer Alt and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-14 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book connects the new world of digitalization with classic IT management. With the presence of software in objects, products and processes, most businesses will become software-defined businesses. Software development and software management are thus key to stay competitive in an environment that demands continuous innovation. The authors provide a comprehensive introduction to continuous innovation, the DevOps concept and lay the foundations of an innovation-oriented IT management. The DevOps approach to continuous innovation, which combines lean and agile concepts with an automated tool chain, enables solutions that synergize fast (re)action through digital innovation on the one hand and long-term development cycles and stable operation on the other. A comprehensive case study of T-Systems MMS, a digital service provider from Deutsche Telekom in Germany, illustrates the use of this approach in practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subsequently, factory performance data representative of innovative and improvement behavior was collected for the same time period as the survey, and correlations were examined between work group engagement levels, engagement drivers, and the performance data at the work group level. Following this, case study research was used to examine how the process of innovation actually happens in the firm. Literature defines creative thinking as a continuous process of problem finding, problem solving, and solution implementing. Three cases of process innovations implemented over a three year period were studied to reveal how the organization executed the creative thinking process, the significance of employee engagement levels and drivers in that execution, and how innovation capabilities improved through experiential learning. From the two components of the study, a recommendation is offered for how an auto parts firm in a high wage rate jurisdiction can compete with a differentiation strategy by developing a continuous innovation capability. Organizational elements must be aligned in the execution of the three step creative thinking process, so that problems are clearly identified, and the most highly engaged employees are focused on creative problem solving.

Download or read book Innovation Systems and Capabilities in Developing Regions written by Willie Siyanbola and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's knowledge-driven world, innovation and innovation systems have become key policy issues. However, the extent of knowledge that is available on these concepts in less developed countries is still relatively low. Much of what we know about innovation theory and systems has come from the developed countries and reflects their world view. This apparent knowledge deficit has major implications for less developed countries. Innovation Systems and Capabilities in Developing Regions adds to the growing body of knowledge on developing countries. The theoretical and empirical case studies presented here advance the notion that, while developing countries may not engage in frontier research, a critical knowledge base upon which these countries compete for global markets is emerging. There is evidence that state and non-state actors are increasingly emphasising policies that sit within the framework of national innovation systems. This book illuminates this shift in policy competence at national levels. The contributions in this volume highlight the need for thorough understanding of the role of diffusion-based innovation linked to technology transfer and acquisition. They also provide empirical evidence on the drivers, dynamics and impact of such innovation in developing economies and the constraints that apply. Contributors also document the application of the innovation system approach in developing countries as well as the build-up and diffusion of technological capabilities within innovation systems. Academics, higher level students, policy makers and practitioners involved with innovation and the economics of technical change, particularly in developing countries, will find this a valuable book.

Download or read book Knowledge Integration Dynamics Developing Strategic Innovation Capability written by Mitsuru Kodama and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2011-02-15 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1990s, Japanese firms have sought to expand their capacity for innovation by incorporating Western management practices into their organizational culture. This combination of Japanese and Western management practices has been highly successful — Japanese firms are presently at the forefront of technological and service innovation in areas such as digital consumer electronics, mobile phone services, and the games industry. Much can be learned from the success of Japanese companies in these areas.This book presents an analysis of the business model unique to Japanese firms, emphasising four special features: the vertical value chain model, cross-industry collaboration, dynamic knowledge integration, and strategic innovation capability. Drawing upon in-depth case studies, this book presents a new theory of knowledge integration, and places special emphasis on inter- and intra-organizational collaboration as a source of strategic innovation. It is a good reference source for academics, graduate students and professionals in the field of innovation management.
Download or read book Innovation Management and New Product Development for Engineers Volume II written by Rob Dekkers and published by Momentum Press. This book was released on 2018-08-31 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whereas innovation has become part of daily language, in practice, realizing new product and new service development is a complex and daunting task for engineers, design engineering managers, managers, and those involved in other functions in organizations. Most books on innovation management approach this topic from a managerial or economic perspective; this text takes the actual design and engineering processes as starting point. To this purpose, it relates product design and engineering processes and their management to sources of innovation, collaboration with suppliers, and knowledge providers (for example, inventors and universities), and users. The managerial aspects get ample attention as well as the socioeconomic aspects in the context of product design and engineering. For this wide range of topics, the book provides both theoretical underpinning and practical guidance. Readers and students will benefit from this book by not only understanding the key mechanisms for innovation but also by the practical guidance it offers. The author uses diagrams, models, methods, and steps to guide readers to a better understanding of innovation projects. This practical approach and the link to theory make the book valuable to practitioners as well as engineering students.
Download or read book Public Innovation through Collaboration and Design written by Christopher Ansell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-20 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While innovation has long been a major topic of research and scholarly interest for the private sector, it is still an emerging theme in the field of public management. While ‘results-oriented’ public management may be here to stay, scholars and practitioners are now shifting their attention to the process of management and to how the public sector can create ‘value’. One of the urgent needs addressed by this book is a better specification of the institutional and political requirements for sustaining a robust vision of public innovation, through the key dimensions of collaboration, creative problem-solving, and design. This book brings together empirical studies drawn from Europe, the USA and the antipodes to show how these dimensions are important features of public sector innovation in many Western democracies with different conditions and traditions. This volume provides insights for practitioners who are interested in developing an innovation strategy for their city, agency, or administration and will be essential reading for scholars, practitioners and students in the field of public policy and public administration.
