Technology Innovation Leadership in Development by Giselle Rampersad,Fay Patel Pdf

'Middle East' (West Asia) perspectives on technology innovation leadership bring new voices to the technology innovation discourse in international development. The approaches of technology innovation leaders in this collection demonstrate commitment to building sustainable futures among the communities in which the authors live. There is a scarcity of technology innovation perspectives from within 'Middle East (West Asia) perspectives and the initiatives and endeavours of the innovation leaders in this book have global appeal. Other developing community innovators are inspired to compete globally as they explore future oriented sustainable innovation solutions that are context specific. Innovation and technology leadership in areas such as e-government and e-commerce are national priorities for countries such as Saudi Arabia. While there is a dense literature available on innovation diffusion in other developing community contexts (for example South Asia, the Asia Pacific region, Africa and Latin America), this book fills the gaps in the literature on 'Middle East' (West Asia) perspectives on innovation technology diffusion in developing community contexts.

Business Trends for the 21st Century by Patel Fay Rampersad Giselle Pdf

From automobiles, electronics, and plastics, to software development or clothing, many goods and services today are provided via global supply chains. Instead of carrying out everything from research and development (R and D) to delivery and retail within a single country, many industries are dividing this process into stages or tasks (or "fragments") that are then undertaken in many countries. Global supply chains have spread widely across both industries and countries. The global restructuring of production has led to faster growth in trade, new patterns of trade, and new benefits from trade. This book examines the evolution, and the effect of global supply chains on the U.S. The book also describes how U.S. manufacturers in the 21st century are taking advantage of services in new and innovative ways to manage global supply chains, cut costs, improve efficiency, and strengthen customer relationships.

Innovation Leadership by David G. Gliddon,William J. Rothwell Pdf

A leader's ability to discover and implement innovations is crucial to adapting to changing technologies and customer preferences, enhancing employee creativity, developing new products, supporting market competitiveness, and sustaining economic growth. Gliddon and Rothwell provide an exciting and comprehensive resource for readers that are currently seeking to build success in organizations with new ideas. Innovation leadership involves synthesizing different leadership styles in organizations to influence employees to produce creative ideas, products, services, and solutions. It is a practice and an approach to organization development and organizational change. Innovation leadership commonly includes four basic stages, which are: (a) support for idea generation, (b) identifying innovations, (c) evaluating innovations, and (d) implementation. There are two types of innovations, including: (a) exploratory innovation, which involves generating brand new ideas, and (b) value-added innovation, which involves modifying and renewing ideas that already exist. The two fundamental leadership theories that are generally necessary for innovation leadership are path-goal theory and Leader Member Exchange theory. The key role in the practice of innovation leadership is that of the innovation leader. However, there are currently multiple perspectives on the definition of an innovation leader. An individual in an organization, a group within an organization, the organization itself, and even a community, state, or nation can be considered an innovation leader. The book explores each of these perspectives on the definition of an innovation leader.

Innovation Leaders by Jean-Philippe Deschamps Pdf

Innovation leaders promote and address the innovation agenda in their company. Through personal conviction or competitive necessity they are obsessed with providing superior value to customers through innovation. They know how to mobilize their staff behind concrete innovation initiatives and do not hesitate to personally coach innovation teams. For innovation to occur leadership has to be collective. To create a momentum for innovation in their company, leaders from different functions need to team up, to build innovation networks. Innovation leadership is not just an innate talent that can be selected at the hiring level. It can be developed within an appropriate company culture through careful leadership development, typically achieved through career management and coaching. Innovation leaders also need to stay on board and it is the responsibility of the top management team to create an attractive climate to develop and keep its innovation leaders. There are plenty of books that deal with innovation, or with new product development, or with leadership; this is different in its focus on the specifics of innovation leadership – that particular form of leadership that stimulates and sustains innovation. This book maps the broad territory of innovation leadership and contributes new thinking on the focus of the emerging leadership role of the CTO; distinction between ‘front end’ and ‘back end’ innovation leaders; the concept of aligning leadership styles with strategy; and the chain of leadership concept. Combining practice-based and empirical research-based observations with simple conceptual frameworks, illustrated by many company examples and case stories from a broad range of industries in the US and Europe, this is a systematic presentation of innovation drivers and their implications in terms of what leaders need to do to make it work.

Creativity and Leadership in Science, Technology, and Innovation by Sven Hemlin,Carl Martin Allwood,Ben Martin,Michael D. Mumford Pdf

Leadership is vital to creativity and successful innovation in groups and organizations; leadership is however seldom studied in the academic literature as a creativity driver. One reason for the lack of attention paid to leadership’s effect on creativity may be the common belief that creativity cannot and should not be managed. Creative individuals and groups are regarded as, and indeed often are, autonomous and self-driving. From this belief the erroneous conclusion is drawn that there is no need for leadership in creative environments and situations. The better conclusion, proposed by this book, is that leadership not only stimulates creativity, but that such a leadership in the science, technology, and innovation fields should specifically possess at least two features: a) expertise in the field(s), and b) an ability to create, support, and encourage individuals, groups, and creative knowledge environments. A number of specialist authors in this volume offer original theoretical, empirical, and applied chapters that elucidate how to better organize and lead creative efforts in science, technology, and innovation. A number of important research questions are raised and answered, including: What kinds of leaderships are needed at different levels of S&T organizations for a creative output? What social and cognitive abilities and skills are needed for leadership in creative environments? How does leadership vary with different phases of the creative process? This book offers concrete analysis of how leaders and managers can facilitate, promote, and organize for creative performance in science, technology, and in innovating organizations, making it required reading for academic and industrial research leaders, scientists, and engineers.

Modern leadership styles. Transformations due to technological development by Jann Guzikiewitz Pdf

Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,3, Buckinghamshire New University, language: English, abstract: This assignment will examine innovative change due to fast technological developments. It will analyze the possibilities how organisations can cope with such a transformation and give recommendations for action as a result. The assignment is divided into five main sections. First, it will consider a general definition for the terms change, innovation, and leadership. In this context, it will give explanations for CL and IL and emphasizes their growing importance for future change projects. Second, it will describe the need for change and the procedure itself, explaining change drivers and thereby focus the technological change. After that, it will give a review of Kotter and Lewin’s change models and consider their future usability. It will then focus Leadership in the transformation context. Thereby the leader’s role will be considered and the key position of a change agent as well as the suitable leadership styles. The fourth part compares two case studies, a successful and another unsuccessful change process. Finally, some conclusions will be drawn that results into recommendations for action. Today’s organisations are facing the challenges of the 21st century. Globalization and radical transformation in structure, resources, and nature of expertise are leading to an increasing level of competition throughout all industries. McKinsey’s business consultants analyzed that the average lifespan of an organisation in 1935 was about 90 years. In 2010, the average lifespan dropped to only 14 years. This depicts that the speed of change has increased and organisationsare struggling to keep up, especially when it comes to technological innovation surrounding their domain sectors. The changing framework is a challenge for both management and employees. Both parties need to adapt to a faster and more efficient response to variety of rapid changing tasks. To deal with this rapid change, terms like change leadership (CL) and innovation leadership (IL) have become more identified within organisations. By identifying the problem, organisation can begin to deal with it, leading to successful fast technological change and its acceptance from the stakeholders.
