I suggest that the process of innovation can be understood broadly as comprising clarifications over values and rules. This yields four categories of innovations: progressive, ideational, practicable and prototypical. The basis for this characterization rests in the evolution of cooperative conditions in competition, which is a strong condition for an innovation process that is non-linear and recombinant. When played in teams, sports are, therefore, interesting cases; they also require the consideration of broader social conditions than do traditional markets and are based on tacit or explicit rules, traditions and social preferences. I, therefore, consider the class of bat and ball sports from a broad historical perspective as a case study to adumbrate the idea of innovation as clarifications.

How do we know if a hot new technology will succeed or fail? Most of us, even experts, get it wrong all the time. We depend more than we realize on wishful thinking and romanticized ideas of history. In the new paperback edition of this fascinating book, a book that has appeared on MSNBC, CNBC, Slashdot.org, Lifehacker.com and in The New York Times, bestselling author Scott Berkun pulls the best lessons from the history of innovation, including the recent software and web age, to reveal powerful and suprising truths about how ideas become successful innovations -- truths people can easily apply to the challenges of today. Through his entertaining and insightful explanations of the inherent patterns in how Einstein’s discovered E=mc2 or Tim Berner Lee’s developed the idea of the world wide web, you will see how to develop existing knowledge into new innovations. Each entertaining chapter centers on breaking apart a powerful myth, popular in the business world despite it's lack of substance. Through Berkun's extensive research into the truth about innovations in technology, business and science, you’ll learn lessons from the expensive failures and dramatic successes of innovations past, and understand how innovators achieved what they did -- and what you need to do to be an innovator yourself. You'll discover: Why problems are more important than solutions How the good innovation is the enemy of the great Why children are more creative than your co-workers Why epiphanies and breakthroughs always take time How all stories of innovations are distorted by the history effect How to overcome people’s resistance to new ideas Why the best idea doesn’t often win The paperback edition includes four new chapters, focused on appling the lessons from the original book, and helping you develop your skills in creative thinking, pitching ideas, and staying motivated. "For centuries before Google, MIT, and IDEO, modern hotbeds of innovation, we struggled to explain any kind of creation, from the universe itself to the multitudes of ideas around us. While we can make atomic bombs, and dry-clean silk ties, we still don’t have satisfying answers for simple questions like: Where do songs come from? Are there an infinite variety of possible kinds of cheese? How did Shakespeare and Stephen King invent so much, while we’re satisfied watching sitcom reruns? Our popular answers have been unconvincing, enabling misleading, fantasy-laden myths to grow strong." -- Scott Berkun, from the text "Berkun sets us free to change the world." -- Guy Kawasaki, author of Art of the Start Scott was a manager at Microsoft from 1994-2003, on projects including v1-5 (not 6) of Internet Explorer. He is the author of three bestselling books, Making Things Happen, The Myths of Innovation and Confessions of a Public Speaker. He works full time as a writer and speaker, and his work has appeared in The New York Times, Forbes magazine, The Economist, The Washington Post, Wired magazine, National Public Radio and other media.

Every innovation starts its life as an idea. It is the systematic transformation of this idea, via its manifestation as an invention, to the final innovative material, device, process, method, service, etc. that is the subject of this practical step-by-step guide. It will be very useful to anyone who has a technological idea and wishes to commercialize it. The author describes a systematic transformational process in ten distinct stages, from the birth of the idea, through its technical validation and its economic viability validation, to the final market innovation. The author correlates this process with the “Technology Readiness Levels” which form the backbone of nearly all major R&D programs. In addition, the reader is introduced to the three critical milestones where crucial go/no-go decisions are made. A number of case studies have been added in this new edition and analyzed in some detail. This guide is based on many years of experience of the author in technology transfer activities both as a mentor and a senior consultant of the European Commission. The book includes a plethora of clear definitions and clarifications as well as valuable strategic advice and insights into many key aspects of the transformational process that will be useful to any inventor wishing to take their invention to its logical conclusion, that of a valuable product or service.

Well-intentioned leaders are inadvertently destroying innovation in their attempts to boost innovation. What if almost everything you know about creating a culture of innovation is hindering your progress? What if the way you are measuring innovation is choking it? What if your market research is focusing on the wrong metrics? It's time to innovate the way you innovate. Innovation isn't just about generating occasional new ideas; it's about staying consistently one step ahead of the competition. Best Practices Are Stupid offers forty counterintuitive yet proven strategies for boosting innovation and making it a repeatable, sustainable, and profitable process at the heart of your company's culture. They include: Hire people you don't like. Bring in the right mix of people to unleash your team's full potential. Asking for ideas is a bad idea. Instead, define challenges more clearly. If you ask better questions, you will get better answers. Don't think outside the box. Instead, find a better box. Rather than giving your employees a blank slate, provide them with well-defined parameters that will increase their creative output. Stop glorifying failure. Looking at innovation as a series of experiments allows you to redefine and minimize failure. This compact book shows that non-stop innovation is attainable and vital to building a high-performing team, improving the bottom line, and staying ahead of the pack. "Don't let its compact size-or snarky title-fool you. It's a worthwhile read. Unlike so many other books in this particular genre, it doesn't disguise otherwise straightforward concepts with overwrought explanations. Shapiro gets straight to the point with 40 often counterintuitive tips on how to strengthen your innovation muscles, served up with respect for your time and intelligence." - Jake Sorofman, Gartner Group

Open Innovation describes an emergent model of innovation in which firms draw on research and development that may lie outside their own boundaries. In some cases, such as open source software, this research and development can take place in a non-proprietary manner.Henry Chesbrough and his collaborators investigate this phenomenon, linking the practice of innovation to the established body of innovation research, showing what's new and what's familiar in the process. Offering theoretical explanations for the use (and limits) of open innovation, the book examines the applicability of the concept, implications for the boundaries of firms, the potential of open innovation to prove successful, and implications for intellectual property policies and practices.The book will be key reading for academics, researchers, and graduate students of innovation and technology management.

"The time for rehashing America's lost battles on the world market has passed." "Now it's time to address a critical component of the economic battle plan: the product development process that creates the products that satisfy customer needs. How quickly these weapons of economic war are developed, how competitive they are, how timely they are deployed, and how supportable they are will determine the failure or success of American business in the 1990s." "Here is the right book at the right time...a concise blueprint to transform product development from a collection of ad hoc activities into an integrated, smoothly operating process. Written by the Director of Corporate Engineering for Hewlett-Packard, one of the most successfully innovative companies in America today, Accelerating Innovation shows how successful, well-tested concepts from the manufacturing domain can be readily transformed into the needy world of new product innovation." "Filled with clear-sighted analysis and practical explanations, this book will help management unleash innovation and creativity in development processes to meet the urgent need for bringing new technology to customers faster and more effectively than the competition." "Discover how to cope with the limited life span of today's products...anticipate changing consumer needs and desires...close the gap between new technology and products that apply it...bring leading-edge products to market fast...eliminate profit-threatening gaps between the "death" of obsolete products and the introduction of new ones...and enjoy higher returns on investment." "Accelerating Innovation provides a results-oriented model for transferring to product development the strategies that are moving manufacturers from the old era to the new one. Numerous real-life examples give you powerful insights into the time-based factoring and total quality management principles used so successfully in manufacturing and shows how to implement them in the product development cycle. Key chapters address how to shorten the innovation cycle time, applying the principle that success springs from focusing on the right issues; manage organization change so that change goes where you want it to go - and quickly, transfer quality principles used on the assembly line to the process of developing raw information and adding value to it, reduce innovation time by implementing the cost of quality principle (cost as a function of when an error is detected), manage information flow and bottlenecks, minimize changeover time; and much, much more." "Does your organization really have a handle on new product development? Are goals, objectives, processes, metrics, and controls in place? Are you equipped to create new products rationally and systematically, while continuously reducing innovation cycle times?" "Accelerating Innovation presents new thinking that will help you answer these questions with a resounding "yes." In product development, doing business the same old way is a formula for disaster. The time to act is long before the livelihood of the product development function is ever threatened. And if a company is trying to catch up, then it has to improve faster than its toughest competition if it ever expects to win." "Finally, here is a guide that can give you the critical advantage you need for success in product development - success that is no longer a luxury, but a necessity for survival."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

This is a study of innovation in Knowledge Intensive Business Services (KIBS) and the impact innovation has on employment. The thesis relies on theories within the fields of "innovation in services", in particular KIBS, and "innovation and employment", taking as its point of departure the taxonomy of product and process innovation. The thesis is based on a discussion of innovation in services with a focus on how innovation in services may be understood and delineated. A long discussion is dedicated to the taxonomy of product and process innovation and the extent to which these concepts may be applicable to innovation in services. The thesis also scrutinises the concept of KIBS and how this can be defined. It further discusses features commonly associated with KIBS firms. The thesis is also rooted in the broader issue of innovation as a creator and destroyer of employment and makes a contribution in applying these issues to service sectors. The empirical part of the thesis builds on a database compiled for the research project, comprised of 967 Swedish KIBS firms. The database covers issues of innovation, employment and characteristics of the firm. The findings indicate that innovation was common in Swedish KIBS firms and that innovations often had an impact on employment. However, the thesis did not detect a straightforward relation between type of innovation (technological process innovation, organisational process innovation, goods product innovation and service product innovation) and the impact on employment. Explanations other than type of innovation have to be considered to analyse the impact of innovation on employment. The thesis further suggests that although innovation in KIBS is common, innovation itself is difficult to conceptualise and delineate.

While intense efforts of clarification have been made to distinguish between the concept of system and ecosystem, and between the different forms of ecosystems, very few works have addressed the issues of how these different forms of ecosystems are interacting in a dynamic perspective, or of how the notion of a dynamic ecosystem could emerge from the static frame of a system approach. The five chapters in this volume precisely aim at adding to this literature by highlighting the interplay between different types of innovation systems. A common thread among the five chapters of the book is the recognition of the need to develop new lenses to formally account for adaptative behaviour within clusters, networks, or regional innovation systems using the ecosystem metaphor. The diversity and heterogeneity of agents, the complexity of relationships, and new forms of organisation (underground, middleground, and upperground) are the main characteristics of innovation ecosystems, in contrast to more traditional concepts like clusters or networks. In essence, the five chapters add various complexity dimensions (relationships, knowledge, systems, etc.) to the existing knowledge on ecosystems. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Industry and Innovation.
