Beskrivelse
Innovation is vital; without it, countries and companies decline. This book uniquely views innovation through both a private-sector and public-policy lens. It covers the economic and policy context for innovation as well as the techniques by which it can be made to happen; along with the management systems needed to govern it.
It overviews modern innovation and creativity techniques, organizational challenges, as well as innovation project and portfolio management. Business-model innovation and open-innovation complete the picture from the manager's perspective.
The private and public financing of R&D, startups, and corporate innovation are covered alongside each other, contrasting and comparing the two worlds, while explaining how they complement each other. Government innovation policy is discussed both in its historical as well as its contemporary context.
The book assumes no previous experience in innovation management, economics or public policy; and it moves fast to equip the reader with the latest tools and techniques, suitable for an introductory graduate level course, or as a reference for experienced practitioners and policymakers. Because it connects all the topics, the book is especially useful for those with expertise in one particular area of innovation desiring to branch out into other areas.
