This document discusses innovation, including its definition, importance, types, and degrees. It defines innovation as "the profitable implementation of ideas." Innovation is important because it reduces waste, creates economic growth, provides better products and services, and creates more interesting work. The types of innovation include products, processes, services, business models, value, and markets. The degrees of innovation range from incremental (small changes) to radical (revolutionary changes). Both incremental and radical innovation are important but need to be managed differently. Innovation distinguishes leaders from followers.
Why innovation is important to business successFrank Reynold
Innovation is coming up with a new idea and turning it into an effective process, a new product or service. The implementation of creativity and innovation in business is likely to incorporate success and help you stand competitiveness in the market. Innovation can be referred to as something new or introduced differently and has impact on market or society.
1) Innovation is the introduction of a new idea, product or process into the marketplace. It involves invention plus commercialization.
2) Organizations must innovate on a continuing basis to survive in a rapidly changing economy. The goals of innovation include improving quality, creating new markets, and reducing costs and environmental damage.
3) Sources of innovation include organizational structure, management tenure, slack resources, and interunit communications. Types of innovation include product/process, open/closed, incremental/radical, and modular/architectural innovations.
Innovation is important for business survival and competitive advantage. Companies that innovate are able to gain a jump on competition and leave behind those that rely only on past successes. One study found innovations in the 1970s averaged a 56% return on investment, much higher than the typical 16% for all businesses. For companies to survive disruptions, they may need to change fundamentally who they are and how they operate. Innovation depends on factors like effective use of technology, innovation processes, corporate strategy, management style, organizational structure, employee skills and motivation, resources, knowledge management, and culture that supports risk and change.
Open Innovation: New Opportunities, New Challenges

Variations in innovation like between industries and organization sizes are explored. Successful management of innovation over time allows organizations to develop routines around innovation. Measuring innovation success depends on consistent contribution to growth rather than inventions alone.
This document provides an overview of innovation and the process of moving ideas to products. It defines innovation as the profitable implementation of ideas. There are four types of innovation: product/service, process, paradigm/business model, and position. Building innovation requires knowing ideas come from employees, providing tools to find good ideas, allowing time for collaboration, and having processes to move ideas forward. Ideas can come from changes in markets, demographics, knowledge, perceptions, unexpected outcomes, and incongruities. Leveraging a company's unique assets, talent, and brand is important for innovation. Moving ideas to products involves interactive models that incorporate technology push, market pull, and advances in society.
Open Innovation: An Introduction and Overview (Chalmers)Marcel Bogers
Presentation on "Open Innovation: An Introduction and Overview"

Description:
What does open innovation really mean? How does it change how we think about innovation processes? What are the managerial and organizational implications? Join us in this seminar to explore these questions with researchers and practitioners active in the field!
About the seminar:
The Managing-In-Between research group at the Department of Technology Management and Economics invites you to an inspiring seminar around open innovation, a topic that has gained increasing interest among researchers and practitioners. This seminar will highlight how the concept of open innovation has evolved, what it actually means, and outline where the research frontier is.
The seminar will feature presentations from one of the prominent researchers in the field of open innovation, Associate Professor Marcel Bogers, University of Southern Denmark as well as researchers from the Managing-In-Between research group at Chalmers, led by Associate Professor Susanne Ollila.
After the initial presentations, we would like to invite the audience to participate in a discussion around the organizational and managerial implications of open innovation for practice. This could be especially interesting to discuss in the Chalmers context where several efforts have been made to increase collaboration and innovation across organizational boundaries, but we still need to further our knowledge of how to support and manage such initiatives.

Presented at the Hands On Open Innovation workshops, this presentation explains why such giant as P&G engages in open innovation. P&G shares its approach to open innovation called Connect & Develop and reveals lessons the company has learned from applying open innovation practices.
More info about the event at http://www.ideonopen.com/events
The document discusses open innovation and dynamic capabilities for industry growth. It argues that open innovation means valuable ideas can come from inside or outside a company. Dynamic capabilities refer to a company's ability to integrate, build and reconfigure resources to address changing environments. The document also discusses the importance of developing a portfolio of capabilities including operational, technological, open and dynamic capabilities. It emphasizes that business models mediate between technical and economic domains and must be innovated to drive growth.
The document is a research report that investigates strategies for increasing employee creativity in large organizations. It was submitted in partial fulfillment of a Masters degree and reviews literature published since 2006. The report identifies three main areas that can positively influence creativity: individual factors, social factors, and leadership/management styles and behaviors. It develops a framework combining these strategies and calls for further research to produce a simpler model for leaders to use.
The document provides seven tips for fostering innovation in teams: 1) Develop a plan with clear goals and transparency. 2) Focus on customers by understanding problems and how skills can solve them. 3) Embrace failure by learning from mistakes and rewarding effort. 4) Think broadly by seeking collaboration outside normal groups. 5) Be wary of consensus seeking which can delay innovation. 6) Actively seek input from introverts. 7) Use the right tools to structure the innovation process while allowing flexibility. The document advocates for Cureo's collaboration platform to help teams innovate through secure messaging, scheduling, and document sharing.

Rolls Royce faced several potential challenges and risks in improving its international supply chain performance. Cultural issues at its manufacturing plant in China contributed to an engine explosion on a Qantas flight. The plant had a culture of not reporting minor deviations, and Rolls Royce was too reliant on the single Chinese plant for manufacturing. More broadly, international supply chains involve longer lead times, shipping distances, and complexity. Outsourcing and reducing supply bases can increase risks. Diversifying manufacturers and moving them closer to customers could help mitigate environmental and reliance risks.
This document proposes a new modular phone system that allows consumers to customize their device by swapping out components like the camera, processor, battery and storage as needed. Some key points:
- The system would let users build exactly the phone they want by allowing components to snap together like Legos. They could remove the storage module and replace it with a bigger battery, for example.
- This would dramatically cut down on e-waste as people wouldn't need to throw away their entire phone every few years. They could own just one phone and rebuild it over time by replacing individual components.
- The document then discusses positioning the new modular phone concept with a focus on giving consumers more control, greater savings and less
Creativity and innovation are important for adapting to changing environments. Creativity involves producing novel and useful ideas while innovation is the successful implementation of creative ideas. Factors that influence creativity include individual characteristics like personality and motivation as well as environmental factors at the group, organizational, and societal levels. Motivation, resources, management practices, group characteristics, and organizational culture can all impact creativity. Pressures and impediments like lack of autonomy or excessive workloads can inhibit creativity while factors like encouragement and support can promote creativity.

Knowledge Innovation Policy (Federal KM - DC)Debra M. Amidon
This closing panel with Dr. Ramon Barquin provides the rationale and vision for a US Knowledge Innovation Policy within a global context. Session includes and inventory of innovation initiatives within the US and abroad. Knowledge Innovation is the strategy beyond KM or strategic planning; and ‘collaborative advantage’ is the name of the new game.
The document proposes reinventing Europe through innovation by transforming from a knowledge society to an innovation society. It recommends basing EU action around compelling social challenges, financing social innovation funds, incentivizing large-scale community innovations, transforming the public sector with an innovation target, and engaging youth and seniors in new partnerships. It also calls for setting clear innovation targets, launching ambitious EU initiatives around major challenges, ensuring directives support innovation, changing public procurement, and opening government data.
This document discusses the need for a paradigm shift from "innovation follows research" to "research follows innovation". It analyzes different countries' approaches to research, development and innovation. France aims for "decompartmentalization" between universities, industry and hospitals to foster cross-fertilization.

Mapping innovative learning experiences in the UKeLearning Papers
CREANOVA is an EU-funded project that aims to undertake research on specific conditions and factors which are present in creative learning environments and promote innovation. While innovation is a defined imperative for European learning policy, there is a lack of evidence on what constitutes meaningful innovation and how it can be fostered and applied in learning.
Authors: Pat Gannon-Leary, Stephen Farrier
The document discusses the importance of creativity and innovation, especially among youth. It addresses three long-term challenges for Europe: economic, societal due to an aging population, and environmental including climate issues. It advocates nurturing creativity through lifelong learning, making schools and universities places for creative thinking, and promoting a strong cultural sector to encourage intercultural dialogue. Developing creativity in schools and integrating it across curricula is seen as important. Iceland has low levels of students studying arts in higher education. Creativity is seen as an economic, social, and technological driver.

The article criticizes Amsterdam's plans to become a "smart city" and implement new technologies without clear goals or benefits. It argues the vision lacks substance and focuses too much on technology for its own sake rather than how it can genuinely improve lives. In short, the plans have no real point beyond buzzwords and catching hype trains around new tech trends.

Prof. Ulrich Teichler, Future challenges facing Europe’s higher education sys...European Journalism Centre
Ulrich Teichler summarizes several reports and scenarios on future challenges facing European higher education systems in the 21st century. The reports focus on issues like expanding access to higher education, improving management strategies, increasing internationalization and globalization, ensuring quality and relevance, promoting diversity, and strengthening ties between education, research, and innovation. Teichler observes that the reports engage in "conservative futurology," looking one to two decades ahead and assuming current issues will remain important, without embracing bold futuristic concepts. The overall themes largely match those identified in Teichler's initial overview.

Gareth Mills, Challenge and change: Developing modern education and training ...European Journalism Centre
This document discusses the need to redesign education systems to focus on developing positive student attitudes and 21st century skills. It proposes organizing learning around three key questions: what are we trying to achieve, what is the best way to organize learning, and how will we know what we do is working. Some new approaches discussed include performance, design, and problem-based learning where students engage in real-world projects. Assessment should evaluate skills like teamwork, creativity, problem solving using authentic performances and portfolios. While standards have always faced challenges, a redesign is needed to develop skills like resilience and adaptability needed for students' future success.
Claudio Vitali, Building partnerships with real impact for labour market: Imp...European Journalism Centre
The document discusses improving youth employment in Europe through better matching of vocational education and training to labor market needs. It focuses on two areas: 1) Ensuring training is informed by labor market intelligence so it is responsive to economic and social changes. This requires partnership between education, employers, and other stakeholders. 2) Ensuring quality in transnational mobility programs by preparing participants, recognizing skills gained, and involving employers. A survey found mobility increased employability, career choices, and language skills, but programs need better design and longer durations.

The document summarizes the outcomes of the COP16/CMP6 climate conference in Cancun and discusses next steps. It notes that Cancun delivered a balanced package that addressed key issues, anchored pledges, and established governance structures. However, it left some gaps around legal form, ambition levels, and long-term finance. In 2011, parties should focus on implementing pledges and operationalizing Cancun agreements, while also working to close remaining gaps and negotiate a legally binding framework. The EU is on track domestically but more work is needed globally to limit warming to 2 degrees and transition to low-carbon economies.
Yvon Slingenberg, Head of Unit B1- Implementation of ETS, DG CLIMA, European ...European Journalism Centre
The EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) is the largest multi-country greenhouse gas emissions trading system in the world. It aims to reduce emissions cost-effectively. The EU ETS covers around 50% of EU emissions and has led to a 13.7% reduction in emissions from 2005-2009. Revisions to the EU ETS starting in 2013 include a stricter cap, increased auctioning of allowances, and benchmarks to determine free allocation. The EU ETS is intended to work with other EU climate and energy policies and serve as a building block for a robust international carbon market through linking with other cap-and-trade systems. Addressing surplus emissions credits is needed to support carbon prices.
Remko Ybema, Unit Manager of Policy Studies, Energy Research Centre of the Ne...European Journalism Centre
The document discusses the EU's roadmap for low carbon growth by 2050 and provides both positive and skeptical observations. Positively, the roadmap shows that a transition to a low carbon economy is feasible with appropriate investments in technologies and could spur economic growth. However, skepticism is raised that priorities may remain on economic growth alone, some stakeholders will lose out in the transition, and overcoming inertia in policies, institutions, and behaviors will be challenging. Determinants of behavior are not fully covered and attracting sufficient capital remains difficult.

This document discusses several key issues regarding the science-policy interface on climate change:
1) While climate change is unprecedented in scale, there are precedents from other environmental issues that can provide lessons for addressing it.
2) There is already a high level of scientific certainty about many aspects of climate change like human-caused greenhouse gas emissions and warming temperatures to inform policy action.
3) Climate change is a major policy concern because of its impacts across key economic sectors and implications for global development.
Players' salaries explain league position: The analysis of English Premier League and Championship teams from 1998 to 2007 showed that 89% of the variation in teams' average league positions over that period could be explained by how much they spent on players' salaries. A similar analysis of Italian Serie A from 1987 to 2001 found a 93% correlation between clubs' spending on salaries and their league position. The English soccer club Portsmouth is in danger of going out of business as it struggles to reach a deal over unpaid tax bills and could face a winding up order in court on Wednesday, potentially becoming the first Premier League team forced to shut down.
