Download or read book Clusters of Innovation in the Age of Disruption written by Engel, Jerome S. and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2022-07-21 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about innovation ecosystems, Clusters of Innovation (COI) and the Global Networks of Clusters of Innovation (GNCOI) they naturally form. What is innovation and why is it important to us? Innovation is nothing less than the ability for constructive response and adaptation to change. The cause and catalyst for that change is frequently identified as technology and its unceasing pressure to improve on existing solutions and address unmet needs. The last decade has painfully demonstrated that exogenous environmental shocks are also sources of change that call for innovative responses, ranging from the obvious challenges such as global warming and Covid-19 to the more subtle social and political perturbations of our time.

Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Organizational Change in Africa written by Franca Ovadje and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although change management and therefore effective adaptation to environmental complexity is considered a uniquely human cultural activity, the extensive change management literature is largely based on the experiences of organizations in the advanced economies of the West. As the economies of African countries become increasingly open, African organizations will need to be agile in order to adapt and grow in a dynamic, global environment. Currently, there is a dearth of contextualized knowledge on change management within Africa, but this handbook aims to address this by bringing together a wide range of experts to explore organizational change and change management from an African context. The handbook adopts a multidisciplinary (historical, philosophical, processual, and strategic) perspective as well as empirical accounts of change management. It addresses such issues as: What are the external and internal pressures for change? What is the content and process of change management? What are the essentials of effective change management? How can change management be theorized from an African perspective? What sort of leadership can best align with change management demands in an African context? How do organizations build internal change management capability? It is hoped that answers to these questions contained in the handbook will provide a contextualized understanding of change management which African organizations and scholars can leverage to respond to the threats and opportunities inherent in their increasingly dynamic environment. The handbook should constitute an essential reference for academics, researchers, and advanced students of change management, development studies, and African studies, as well as practitioners.

Download or read book Big Bang Disruption written by Larry Downes and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-01-07 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It used to take years or even decades for disruptive innovations to dethrone dominant products and services. But now any business can be devastated virtually overnight by something better and cheaper. How can executives protect themselves and harness the power of Big Bang Disruption? Just a few years ago, drivers happily spent more than $200 for a GPS unit. But as smartphones exploded in popularity, free navigation apps exceeded the performance of stand-alone devices. Eighteen months after the debut of the navigation apps, leading GPS manufacturers had lost 85 percent of their market value. Consumer electronics and computer makers have long struggled in a world of exponential technology improvements and short product life spans. But until recently, hotels, taxi services, doctors, and energy companies had little to fear from the information revolution. Those days are gone forever. Software-based products are replacing physical goods. And every service provider must compete with cloud-based tools that offer customers a better way to interact. Today, start-ups with minimal experience and no capital can unravel your strategy before you even begin to grasp what’s happening. Never mind the “innovator’s dilemma”—this is the innovator’s disaster. And it’s happening in nearly every industry. Worse, Big Bang Disruptors may not even see you as competition. They don’t share your approach to customer service, and they’re not sizing up your product line to offer better prices. You may simply be collateral damage in their efforts to win completely different markets. The good news is that any business can master the strategy of the start-ups. Larry Downes and Paul Nunes analyze the origins, economics, and anatomy of Big Bang Disruption. They identify four key stages of the new innovation life cycle, helping you spot potential disruptors in time. And they offer twelve rules for defending your markets, launching disruptors of your own, and getting out while there’s still time. Based on extensive research by the Accenture Institute for High Performance and in-depth interviews with entrepreneurs, investors, and executives from more than thirty industries, Big Bang Disruption will arm you with strategies and insights to thrive in this brave new world.
Download or read book Disruption by Design written by Paul Paetz and published by Apress. This book was released on 2014-12-19 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Eli Whitney to Henry Ford to Ray Kroc to Steve Jobs, market disruptors have reaped the benefits, including fame and fortune. But do you have to be that rare genius whose unique skills can literally change the world? No. Disrupting a market is a discipline that can be learned. Disruption by Design—a handbook for entrepreneurs, CEOs, product developers, innovators, and others who want to build products or create services that systematically disrupt markets—is the first book that shows you how. There is a huge difference between being an "innovator" and being a "disruptive innovator." Disruptors change the basis for competition in markets, and they end up controlling market share—typically 40 to 80% of the total revenue and half or more of the total profits in the categories they create. But while many market opportunities have disruptive potential, only a small fraction of those ever succeed in disrupting markets. And, too often, those that do disrupt do so by accident. It doesn’t have to be that way. Disruption by Design conveys lessons learned from successful disruptors, and from the many companies that should have disrupted but failed. Beginning with a quick review of the theory and key elements of the patterns of disruptive innovations and how to identify ideas with disruptive potential, Disruption by Design guides you through the design, build, and go-to-market phases that successful disruptors follow. Using many examples of disruptive companies and products, this book takes the popular theory of disruptive innovation and drives it down to the level of practical application. It answers the question, "How do I create a disruptive company, product, and culture?" Disruption by Design:“ul> Goes beyond describing how disruptive innovation happens, and answers and explains the all-important "why." Provides a "where-to-look" guide for discovering disruptive opportunities. Shows you how to predict when market disruption is likely. Outlines the necessary ingredients and elements of corporate strategy that maximize the probability of being disruptive. Provides a roadmap to disruptive success, from the initial idea through product launch to actual market disruption. Shows how to stay atop the market and not be the next victim of a new disruptor. Includes the Disruption by Design Canvas, for mapping a disruptive business model. Most important, Disruption by Design articulates a step-by-step process for developing a product and marketing strategy—and a business model design—that maximizes the probability of successful market disruption.
Download or read book CRYPTO CURRENCIES AND BLOCKCHAIN THE FUTURE OF MONEY written by Jayashree Patil-Dake and published by Xoffencerpublication. This book was released on 2023-07-17 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The curiosity and imagination of investors, researchers, politicians, and members of the general public alike have been captured by cryptocurrencies and the Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), which they are founded on. Cryptocurrencies were hailed as the "currency of the future" by the technology industry, and their proponents extolled the potential benefits of using them. These potential benefits included a payment system that was risk-free and entirely decentralized, a financial sector that was more streamlined and more reliable, and an economy that was more cooperative, open, and democratic. The reality has been more complicated than anticipated, and it is characterized by a significant degree of volatility in the price of well-known cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, an uncomfortably high degree of opacity and centralization, and inefficient implementations, particularly with regard to the quantity of energy that is used. The allure of India as a potential answer to time-honored economic issues, with its cutting-edge advancements in computer science and cryptography, is, however, too powerful to ignore. Therefore, in spite of the obvious difficulties that jindiat brought up, people are still coming up with new applications for distributed ledger technology. Through the utilization of non-fungible tokens, one of these applications has the potential to bring about a sea change in the manner in which works of art and other types of intellectual property are exchanged. It should come as no surprise that the range of applications for cryptocurrencies, blockchains, and DLT, in addition to the requisite technical background to comprehend them, are outside the scope of what can be covered in a single article. To those people who are interested in knowing more about this intriguing region, we certainly suggest this as a location to begin their exploration of the topic. The applications of distributed ledger technology that are directly connected to finance will be the primary topic of discussion throughout this chapter. To be more exact, we take into consideration cryptocurrencies that may be thought of as pure assets or commodities like Bitcoin, as well as the more recent class of cryptocurrencies known as stable coins that are used in central bank digital currencies (CBDC).
