An Overview of Innovation
TLDR
The process of innovation must be viewed as a series of changes in a complete system not only of hardware, but also of market environment, production facilities and knowledge, and the social contexts of the innovation organization as discussed by the authors.Abstract:
Models that depict innovation as a smooth, well-behaved linear process badly misspecify the nature and direction of the causal factors at work. Innovation is complex, uncertain, somewhat disorderly, and subject to changes of many sorts. Innovation is also difficult to measure and demands close coordination of adequate technical knowledge and excellent market judgment in order to satisfy economic, technological, and other types of constraints—all simultaneously. The process of innovation must be viewed as a series of changes in a complete system not only of hardware, but also of market environment, production facilities and knowledge, and the social contexts of the innovation organization.read more

Forms of knowledge and modes of innovation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared two modes of innovation, Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) and Doing, Using and Interacting (DUI), and found that firms combining the two modes are more likely to innovate new products or services than those relying primarily on one mode or the other.

Leveraging External Sources of Innovation: A Review of Research on Open Innovation
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of prior research on how firms leverage external sources of innovation is presented, which suggests a four-phase model in which a linear process of obtaining, integrating, integrating and commercializing external innovations is combined with interaction between the firm and its collaborators.

University–industry relationships and open innovation: Towards a research agenda
Markus Perkmann,Kathryn Walsh +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the diffusion and characteristics of collaborative relationships between universities and industry are explored, and a research agenda informed by an open innovation perspective is developed. But the authors focus on the effects of university-industry links on innovation-specific variables, such as patents or firm innovativeness, and the dynamics of these relationships remain under-researched.

China’s Presence in Developing Countries’ Technology Basket: The Case of Furniture Manufacturing in Kenya
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the potential impact of Chinese technologies on the development of other developing countries vis-a-vis the impact of technologies from advanced countries and the domestic economy and found that the technologies from China (and also Kenya) are more amenable for inclusive industrial development especially with respect to employment creation and poverty reduction.

A method for capturing innovation features using group storytelling
TL;DR: A collaborative method to identify innovation factors from a successful project that led to innovation is proposed, which uses group storytelling to capture, organize, and share organizational knowledge and uses a set of innovation indicators to extract collaboratively innovation features from the gathered knowledge.

The influence of human resource management systems on innovation: evidence from irish manufacturing and service firms
Frank Crowley,Jane Bourke +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate if HRM practices are significantly more effective when implemented as bundles or systems of complementarities than when they are implemented individually in Irish manufacturing and service firms.
