Download or read book Managing New Product Innovation written by B. Jerrard and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New product design and development is often the result of personal vision. Harnessing this often requires a special receptiveness and enthusiasm at all levels of an organization, which serves to unlock potential and can turn the entire organizational pyramid upside-down. It is particularly important to understand and develop those aspects of design which can be constructively employed by designers in a strategic alliance with management and research.; The papers in this volume result from the conference of the Design Society held at the University of Central England in September 1998. They show how design-led product development has worked in a range of industries, from engineering through to design and management consultancy. Not only practitioners but also students of industrial design and management should find this a valuable contribution to the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title explores the issue of innovation engineering, a feature that is essential to the continuation of growth and development in the commercial world. Discussion is divided into three parts: Part I covers the historical basis of innovation, noting that diversity rests upon a duality between concepts in theory and applications put into practice, as well as discussing how innovation has resulted from the interaction of numerous factors, be they societal, human, managerial, organization or technological. Part II focuses on practical applications – the technologies, tools and methods employed in putting theoretical innovation into practice – while Part III looks at what factors underpin success, discussing the social and psychological aspects involved in successful innovation engineering. Consideration is also given to recent developments and systems which will assist in ensuring the continuation of this process in the future.
Download or read book Intellectual Property Management written by Klaus Jennewein and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-03-30 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovation is a source of competitive advantage. In other words, firms may leverage innovation to generate rents, at least temporarily. And this is intended to be a self-sustained business model: part of the rent extracted from the market may be re-invested into new technological developments which in turn permit additional innovations, thus regenerating the sources of rents. This is the positive loop of innovation. In this sense, business would be a permanent hunt for innovations, in search of rents. Yet, innovations need to be protected if firms want to benefit from rents over long periods of time. However, the strategic management literature tends to suggests that patents are a weak protection against aggressive imitators. Secrecy may help but we also know that technology ends up leaking in most cases. Speed in new developments to cut "time to market" may be another way of protecting the technological advance of the firm. But again, this may not be enough as start-ups may out-compete the established firm in the race for innovation. This is where Dr. Klaus Jennewein's key idea comes into the picture. The core of his thesis is that brand equity may be combined to technological protections such as patents to build a multi-layer, complex, intricate shield to protect the sources of rents against competitors and imitators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Women are still strongly underrepresented in upper middle and senior management positions, although they are now obtaining the necessary education and credentials in preparation for managerial careers and have good chances to enter the lower management ranks. This underrepresentation is emphasised in 'heavy' industry. But what are the reasons? There are numerous. But one in particularly caught our attention: the concept of tokenism. What exactly lies behind this notion of"token women"? Is it simply a fashionable trend or a reality which may be apprehended within the organisation? With this European Project we want to see if there was a reason which could explain why even with career development programmes for women managers which embrace moreover the creation of an equal opportunity corporate culture, equal opportunities in recruitment, training and promotion. The problem concerning the few women managers in the industry wasn't resolved. Zusammenfassung: Frauen sind noch immer in Führungspositionen stark unterrepräsentiert, obwohl sie die nötige Ausbildung und Vorbereitung dafür erhalten. Man findet sie dagegen im unteren Management. Dieser Zustand besteht besonders in der Industrie. Worin bestehen die Gründe für diese Situation? Sie sind zahlreich. Einen speziellen Grund möchten wir hier nennen: "Concept of Tokenism". Was steht hinter dem Begriff "Token Women"? Ist es einfach eine Modebeschreibung oder eine Realität? In dieser Diplomarbeit wollten wir Gründe finden, die erklären, warum spezielle Karriereentwicklungsprogramme für Frauen, die gleiche Bedingungen in Kultur, Ausbildung und Einstellungschancen schaffen sollen, nicht zum gewünschten Erfolg in der Industrie führen.

This book was released on 2014-01-09 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The innovation economy sets new standards for global business and requires efficient innovation management to plan, execute and evaluate innovation activities, establish innovation capability and coordinate resources and capacities for innovation on an intra- and inter-organizational level. Communication has become a critical factor underpinning successful innovation. As a new communication field, innovation communication facilitates the successful launches of new products and services, the establishment of stakeholder relationships, and the strengthening of corporate reputation in the long-run. Consequently, firms today need to develop a strong portfolio of communication tools as an integral part of their strategic innovation management activities. This new edition mainly concentrates on emerging approaches and methods for integrating communication as part of strategic innovation management. A key theme is the provision of an integrated perspective to bridge the gap between innovation management and communication management at both strategic and operational levels. This book makes an important contribution to this evolving academic domain by providing multiple perspectives on the latest research on innovation communication and strategic open innovation. It also provides guidance for managers seeking to understand the diverse ways by which they can leverage communication to support successful innovation.
