Więcej o książce

This Handbook provides a comprehensive analysis of innovation's significance and the strategies to enhance organizational benefits from it. Innovation is crucial for business and national competitiveness and impacts global living standards, yet it requires effective management to succeed. Featuring contributions from 49 leading scholars, the Handbook delves into various sources of innovation and the broader social, economic, and technological contexts that influence it. While addressing traditional innovation management concerns—such as R&D, intellectual property, and creativity—it also expands into emerging topics like design, social networks, open and social innovation, and innovations in business models, ecosystems, services, and platforms. The text highlights the role of innovation management in promoting environmental sustainability and its evolving practices, particularly in Asia. Written in an accessible style, with selected bibliographies and a comprehensive index, this resource serves as an authoritative source on innovation management. Each chapter outlines key issues, reviews significant research findings, and proposes future research questions. It is an invaluable resource for students, faculty, and managers aiming to enhance innovation outcomes within their organizations.
