This article discusses innovation management in both the public and private sectors. It argues that while much research has focused on private sector innovation, the core innovation processes are equally relevant for public organizations. The article outlines a generic innovation process that all organizations face, including searching for opportunities, selecting projects, implementing innovations, and learning. It also discusses the challenges of managing both continuous, or incremental, innovation as well as discontinuous innovation in times of change. The article advocates that organizations develop routines to enable different types of innovation.
This document reviews different models of the innovation process. It begins by discussing early linear models and their limitations in capturing the complex, interactive nature of innovation. More recent dynamic models view innovation as involving networks of actors and sources. These models reveal issues with partial views of innovation that focus only on certain stages or aspects. The document also discusses sources of discontinuity that can change the "rules of the game" and open new opportunities, challenging existing players. It provides examples like new technologies, markets, regulations, and business models that can trigger discontinuities.
National Innovation Systems & InstitutionsEbru Basak
This document discusses national innovation systems (NIS) from an institutional perspective. It outlines the development of the concept of NIS and defines it as a network of institutions involved in technology development and diffusion within national borders. A systemic approach views innovation as an interactive and cumulative process involving industry, universities, government and other actors. Institutions play key roles in NIS by providing information, managing conflicts, incentivizing innovation, and channeling resources. The functions and components of NIS vary across countries due to different socioeconomic and cultural contexts.

The document discusses strengthening the Philippine national innovation system. It defines innovation and explains how interaction between institutions is key for a national innovation system. However, the Philippine system faces weaknesses like lack of linkages between knowledge producers and users, lack of continuity in policies, and inadequate funding support for innovation. It proposes strengthening the system by formulating a coherent innovation policy, providing adequate funding, and designing programs to support collaboration between government, industry and academia. The goal is to build a critical mass of innovative Filipino firms and strengthen the four pillars of the National Innovation Strategy known as "Filipinnovation".
Production of Knowledge_D.Foray_chapter3 -EbruBasakEbru Basak
The document discusses different types of knowledge production and research. It describes research as a "distance" activity that is conducted separately from production and consumption in order to allow for specialized knowledge creation. The document outlines four forms of knowledge production: off-line R&D, on-line learning by doing, the search model, and the coordination model. It also distinguishes between three types of research: basic/fundamental research, applied research, and the production of infratechnologies.
This document examines how the source of a business idea influences venture performance. It hypothesizes that in transitional institutional environments, ideas from policy sources perform better, while in stable environments, market-driven ideas perform better. Survey data from Chinese entrepreneurs supports the hypotheses, finding policy-driven ideas led to better performance during periods of transition, while market ideas worked best when the environment was stable. The findings suggest the source of the business idea deserves more attention in entrepreneurship research.
This document outlines various topics related to organizational theory, including key concepts, structural designs, principles of effective organization, and case studies. Some of the main topics covered include:

Standardization Efforts: The Relationship between Knowledge Dimensions, Searc...Ian McCarthy
We explore how a standardization effort (i.e.,when a firm pursues standards to further innovation) involves different search processes for knowledge and innovation outcomes. Using an inductive case study of Vanke, a leading Chinese property developer,we show how varying degrees of knowledge
complexity and codification combine to produce a typology of four types of search process: active, integrative, decentralized and passive, resulting in four types of innovation outcome: modular, radical,incremental and architectural. We argue that when the standardization effort in a firm involves highly codified knowledge,incremental and architectural innovation outcomes are fostered, while modular and radical innovations are hindered. We discuss how standardization efforts can result in a second-order innovation capability, and conclude by calling for comparative research in other settings to understand how standardization efforts can be suited to different types of search process in different industry contexts.
Purdue Fraunhofer Innovation Ecosystem White Paper | May 2015Ed Morrison

Achieving contextual ambidexterity in R&D organizations: a management control...Ian McCarthy
Research on how managers control R&D activities has tended to focus on the performance measurement systems used to exploit existing knowledge and capabilities. This focus has been at the expense of how broader forms of management control could be used to enable R&D contextual ambidexterity, the capacity to attain appropriate levels of exploitation and exploration behaviors in the same R&D organizational unit. In this paper, we develop a conceptual framework for understanding how different types of control system, guided by different R&D strategic goals, can be used to induce and balance both exploitation and exploration. We illustrate the elements of this framework and their relations using data from biotechnology firms, and then discuss how the framework provides a basis to empirically examine a number of important control relationships and phenomena.
Operationalization of Dynamic CapabilitiesRené Rohrbeck
This document proposes a framework for operationalizing dynamic capabilities. It identifies 5 dimensions and 21 elements of organizational future orientation abilities. These abilities are grouped into levels of maturity. The framework also outlines barriers that can prevent companies from adapting to changes, and the activities and capabilities needed to overcome these barriers. These include scanning the environment, defining responsibilities, integrating foresight with decision-making, and promoting a culture open to new ideas. Future research is proposed to longitudinally study how companies respond to external changes over time.
This document provides an overview of the Open Arena 5 (OA5) project, which was a collaborative innovation project between 5 universities in Sweden from 2011-2014.

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 the application of new solutions to meet new requirements or needs. It differs from invention in that innovation refers to using ideas or methods, while invention refers to creating them. Innovation can occur in individuals, societies, businesses, and organizations through sources like changes in markets, demographics, or scientific knowledge. Common goals of innovation programs are improved quality, new markets, and reduced costs, though failures can occur from issues like poor goal definition, participation, or monitoring of results. Innovation is measured globally using indexes that rank countries based on factors like research and development spending and patent activity.
Proctor & Gamble has a long history of innovation dating back to its founding in 1837. To increase innovation output, P&G created the Connect & Develop program to collaborate with external experts. This open innovation approach helped deliver innovations faster and cheaper. P&G also uses the voice of the customer to understand user needs and drive new product development. Innovation and change management are closely linked, as innovation requires successfully managing organizational change.

^ THE CHALLENGE OF
INNOVATION IMPLEMENTATION
KATHERINE I. KLEIN
JOANN SPEER SORRA
University of Maryland at College Park
Implementation is the process of gaining targeted organizational
members' appropriate and committed use of an innovation. Our model
suggests that implementation eiiectiveness—the consistency and
quality of targeted organizational members' use oi an innovation—is
a function oi (a) the strength oi an organization's climate ior the imple-
mentation oi that innovation and (b) the fit of that innovation to targeted
users' values. The model speciiies a range of implementation outcomes
(including resietance, avoidance, compliance, and commitment): high-
lights the equifinality of an organization's climate ior implementation;
describes within- and between-organizational diiferences in innova-
tion-values fit; and suggests new topics and strategies for implementa-
tion research.
Innovation implementation within an organization is the process of
gaining targeted employees' appropriate and committed use of an innova-
tion. Innovation implementation presupposes innovation adoption, that
is, a decision, typically made by senior organizational managers, that
employees within the organization will use the innovation in their work.
Implementation failure occurs when, despite this decision, employees use
the innovation less frequently, less consistently, or less assiduously than
required for the potential benefits of the innovation to be realized.
An organization's failure to achieve the intended benefits of an innova-
tion it has adopted may thus reflect either a failure of implementation or
a failure of the innovation itself. Increasingly, organizational analysts
identify implementation failure, not innovation failure, as the cause of
many organizations' inability to achieve the intended benefits of the inno-
vations they adopt. Quality circles, total quality management, statistical
process control, and computerized technologies often yield little or no
benefit to adopting organizations, not because the innovations are ineffec-
tive, analysts suggest, but because their implementation is unsuccessful

Abstract
The management of innovation is among the most critical capabilities
contributing to the success of modern organizations. It is also complex and
frequently misunderstood. In this paper we first provide a broad overview of
the organizational innovation literature [the Past] to distill five fundamental
themes: What is innovation, why is it important, where does it come from,
who engages in it, and how can it be best executed? Second, we illustrate how
these concepts are applied by three companies on the vanguard of innovation
management [the Present] – Google, Walt Disney, and Johnson & Johnson.
Third, we project the discussion forward by considering key issues and emerging
trends [the Future] of innovation management such as nanotechnology, ethical
dilemmas, information technology, globalization, and sustainability. Fourth,
we derive from the above analyses concrete guidelines for managers to
leverage these insights and enable more effective innovation practices.

Keywords: innovation; management; industry; organization
Introduction
In today’s increasingly turbulent business environment, largely
attributed to continual and rapid globalization and technological
advancements, change has become a ubiquitous phenomenon.
Innovation has emerged as an important mechanism to facilitate
adaptation to this shifting competitive landscape. Although
considered controversial by some skeptics, innovation plays a
critical role in nurturing the economy, creating and radically
transforming industries, sustaining the competitive performance of
firms, and improving the standard of living and creating a better
quality of life for citizens. Understandably, research that is focused
on this climate of change displays a strong “pro-innovation”
perspective (Kimberly, 1981; Abrahamson, 1991) and visualizes
innovation as an inherently beneficial organizational activity with
profound consequences for multiple constituencies. Indeed, it is an
organization’s capability for sustained innovation that oftentimes
determines its success. However, when discussing the management
of innovation, one must also consider the more ambiguous,
potentially destructive, and less readily understood social and
ethical dynamics of the innovation process.
This paper attempts to provide a broad overview of the

The key findings across regions were that major universities have adopted an ecosystem approach, where 80-85% of knowledge transfer is created through alumni and students rather than direct research commercialization. Technology transfer offices represent a small percentage of university budgets. High-quality applied research conducted with industry is important. The roles of technology transfer offices are evolving to focus on networking between academia and industry. Proof-of-concept funding, incubators, and business angels are important for supporting startups. The report provides recommendations for Finland including new business development services, competence development programs, and revised funding mechanisms

Linking Theory & Practice Navigating the innovation landscape: past research, present practice, and future trends Shanthi Gopalakrishnan1 , Eric H Kessler 2 , Joanne L Scillitoe3 1 School of Management, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, NJ, USA; 2 Lubin School of Business, Pace University, New York, USA; 3 School of Management, New York Institute of Technology, Old Westbury, NY, USA Correspondence: Shanthi Gopalakrishnan, School of Management, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, NY 07102, USA. Tel: þ 973-596-3283; Fax: þ 973-596-3074 Abstract The management of innovation is among the most critical capabilities contributing to the success of modern organizations. It is also complex and frequently misunderstood. In this paper we first provide a broad overview of the organizational innovation literature [the Past] to distill five fundamental themes: What is innovation, why is it important, where does it come from, who engages in it, and how can it be best executed? Second, we illustrate how these concepts are applied by three companies on the vanguard of innovation management [the Present] – Google, Walt Disney, and Johnson & Johnson. Third, we project the discussion forward by considering key issues and emerging trends [the Future] of innovation management such as nanotechnology, ethical dilemmas, information technology, globalization, and sustainability. Fourth, we derive from the above analyses concrete guidelines for managers to leverage these insights and enable more effective innovation practices. Organization Management Journal (2010) 7, 262–277. doi:10.1057/omj.2010.36 Keywords: innovation; management; industry; organization Introduction In today’s increasingly turbulent business environment, largely attributed to continual and rapid globalization and technological advancements, change has become a ubiquitous phenomenon. Innovation has emerged as an important mechanism to facilitate adaptation to this shifting competitive landscape. Although considered controversial by some skeptics, innovation plays a critical role in nurturing the economy, creating and radically transforming industries, sustaining the competitive performance of firms, and improving the standard of living and creating a better quality of life for citizens. Understandably, research that is focused on this climate of change displays a strong “pro-innovation” perspective (Kimberly, 1981; Abrahamson, 1991) and visualizes innovation as an inherently beneficial organizational activity with profound consequences for multiple constituencies. Indeed, it is an organization’s capability for sustained innovation that oftentimes determines its success. However, when discussing the management of innovation, one must also consider the more ambiguous, potentially destructive, and less readily understood social and ethical dynamics of the innovation process. This paper attempts to provide a broad overview of the innovation management landscape. First, we survey the exi ...

The Rules Do Apply: Navigating HR ComplianceAggregage
https://www.humanresourcestoday.com/frs/26903483/the-rules-do-apply--navigating-hr-compliance
HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.
This is a particular pain point for small HR departments, or HR departments of 1, that lack compliance teams and in-house labor attorneys. So, what do you do?
The goal of this webinar is to make you smarter in knowing what you should be focused on and the questions you should be asking. It will also provide you with resources for making compliance more manageable.
Objectives:
• Understand the regulatory landscape, including labor laws at the local, state, and federal levels
• Best practices for developing, implementing, and maintaining effective compliance programs
• Resources and strategies for staying informed about changes to labor laws, regulations, and compliance requirements
