Leverage Innovation Capability: Application Of Total Innovation Management In China's Smes' Study by Qingrui Xu,Yongyi Shou,Jin Chen,Jingjiang Liu Pdf
Innovation is widely recognized as a major source of modern productivity growth. Indeed, it is seen as constituting a central process of economic advancement in industrialized countries. Despite this, a considerable gap still exists in knowledge and technological capability between industrialized countries and the more dynamic developing countries such as China. Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are a major contributor to China's economy and SME's contribution to China's GDP is close to 60%.This book studies the strategy and mechanism of leveraging innovation capability in China's SMEs by applying the theory of Total Innovation Management (TIM), which is the new paradigm of managing innovation in enterprises developed by the Research Center for “Innovation and Development” (shortly RCID) of Zhejiang University, China. According to Eric von Hippel, MIT, RCID is the Top 10 Innovation Management research institutes in the world.Leverage Innovation Capability probes the strategy and mechanism of leverage the innovation capability in the firm, especially in China's SMEs. It analyzes how the SMEs utilize all the innovation elements in the firm, including Strategy innovation, Tech innovation, marketing innovation, organization innovation, culture innovation, innovation networking, learning and knowledge management, high involvement innovation, cooperation innovation, etc. to leverage innovation capability.
This book targets the key issues of both research and practice in innovation and strategic management fields and is regarded as one of the important works explaining enterprises from the innovation system perspective. The book is based on the existing literature involving national innovation system, regional innovation system, and industrial/sectional innovation system and reviews intra-organizational innovation system researches and inter-organizational innovation ecosystem literature. Accordingly, the book proposes a “core competence-based innovation ecosystem framework”, indicating the importance of fit between firms' internal core competence and external innovation ecosystem, which is pivotal for leveraging the sustainable competitiveness advantages. In addition, the book further adopts multiple case studies, involving the firms' innovation ecosystems upon ten typical global enterprises in and out of China – e.g., Apple Inc., Siemens, Procter & Gamble, Microsoft Corporation, Google, Founder Group, Haier Group, China South Railway, Huawei, and Midea. Teachers and researchers from universities in innovation and strategic management fields and industrial management practitioners can benefit from the book.

Innovation Processes in the Social Space of the Organization by Katarzyna Szczepańska-Woszczyna,Zdzisława Dacko-Pikiewicz Pdf
Schumpeter's concept of innovation was the starting point for further study, reflections and analyses on the importance of innovation in the economy. Nowadays, research into innovation captures several significant aspects of innovation: it includes both internally conceived and externally adopted innovation ('production or adoption'); innovation is stressed as more than a creative process, by including application ('exploitation'); intended ('value-added') benefits are highlighted at one or more levels of analysis; the possibility that innovation may refer to the relative, as opposed to absolute, novelty of an innovation is assumed (an innovation may be common practice in some organizations but it would still be considered as such if it is new to the unit under research); and attention is drawn to the two roles of innovation (a process and an outcome). The creation and management of innovation has many dimensions that spread to all levels and dimensions of the organization. The conditions that lead to innovation are a combination of processes in an organization that result from internal and external dynamics. Innovation is not only an economic mechanism or a technical process. It is primarily a social phenomenon, the result of various interactions and relationships between individuals; to be implemented, it must obtain public approval as it changes paradigms, both in ways of thinking, production, organization and management, as well as in consumption. The process of innovation is the implementation of innovation in the social system of organization that has specific conditions both at the organizational level (e.g., organizational culture or structure), group level (including the leadership style) and individual level (including creativity, knowledge, competencies, personality, and learning). Innovation management at various levels of the organization, the effective harmonization of innovation process management and innovation management from different levels of decision-making will create a synergy effect. It is therefore necessary to take into account the complexity of the research subject and include the actual problems resulting from the needs of multi-level innovation management and respect for the diversity of its conditions in the research. The issues addressed in this book are: - identifying key trends in the theory and practice of innovation management - defining key ontological beings and their use in innovation management - presenting the new dimensions of innovation management as seen through the eyes of the international authors of individual chapters - the possibility of applying solutions to problems addressed in this monograph The editors and authors hope that the presented combination of theory and practice will satisfy the needs of readers, in particular managers of modern companies, business consultants and researchers.
