Download or read book Response Strategies of Incumbent Firms to Disruptive Innovation written by Olga Piskunova and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on the phenomenon of innovation shows that companies with initially leading positions in the industry often fail when the competitive situation changes and entrants come to the market with disruptive innovations. This raises the important question of what incumbents should do in order to optimally encounter such a situation. Should an incumbent respond at all? Which type of response should it pursue? How could the preferred response be implemented most effectively in terms of structure and management? To answer these questions the author Olga Piskunova analyses the existing recommendations to incumbent firms faced with the disruptive innovation along the response strategy framework consisting of following steps: decision to respond, response formulation and choice, response implementation. She shows further how non-innovation related research streams, such as game theory, contagion theory, marketing, and diversification research, could contribute to the disputable issues in the framework and fill some gaps. This book could be valuable for practitioners, as well as for scholars, researching the theoretical aspects of the phenomena of competition and innovation.

Download or read book Perspectives on Disruptive Innovations written by Arun Kumaraswamy and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyday experiences speak to the accelerated pace of innovation in this era of continual change. Sometimes, innovations enhance the value of existing products and services. At other times, they render existing business models obsolete, disrupt value-networks, prompt providers to rethink who their customers are, and lead customers to rethink what they value. What does it mean to manage in such a world of disruptive changes, and how might we research this phenomenon? Together with the contributors to this special issue, we anchor, explore and extend the meanings associated with the concept of disruptive innovation. In particular, we discuss several perspectives on disruption - evolutionary, relational, temporal and framing - that culminate in a performative (as opposed to a predictive) approach to thinking about the phenomenon. In doing so, our intention is to open up the agenda for both researchers and practitioners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The curriculum is a live issue in universities across the world. Many stakeholders – governments, employers, professional and disciplinary groups and parents – express strong and often conflicting views about what higher education should achieve for its students. Many universities are reviewing their curricula at an institutional level, aware that they are in a competitive climate in which league tables encourage students to see themselves as consumers and the university as a product, or even a ‘brand’. The move has prompted renewed concern for some central educational questions, about both what is learnt and how. Strategic Curriculum Change explores the ways in which major universities across the world are reviewing their approaches to teaching and learning. It unites institution-level strategy with the underlying educational issues. The book is grounded in a major study of curriculum change in over twenty internationally-focused, research-intensive universities in the UK, US, Australia, The Netherlands, South Africa and Hong Kong. Chapters include: Achieving curriculum coherence: Curriculum design and delivery as social practice Assessment in curriculum change The whole-of-institution curriculum renewal undertaken by the University of Melbourne, 2005-2011 The physical and virtual environment for learning People and change: Academic work and leadership This book presents a theorised and contextualised approach to the study of the curriculum, and carries on much-needed research on the curriculum in higher education. It is an essential for the collection of all academics at university level, and those involved in policy making, quality assurance and enhancement.
