Measuring radical innovation in real time
نویسندگان
چکیده
As Leifer et al. have argued, the management of radical innovation projects necessitates different strategies and practices, including different ways of measuring performance. This paper discusses our efforts to explore indicators of progress for radical innovation in basic and applied research and technology development at both the project and programme levels. The paper provides examples of our work with scientific research projects in two research organisations to develop real-time indicators of the research progress. Finally, it is argued that the continued development of similar indicators can play an important role in managing research to achieve radical innovation.

The paper reviews work which draws a link between the dynamics of innovation and the dynamics of stock prices. One of the key findings is the relationship between innovation intensity (e.g. radical innovation) and the volatility of firm level stock returns. By connecting the analysis of risk and uncertainty— often left in the finance literature to explanations related to ‘animal spirits’ and ot...
متن کاملThe Critical Role of Information and Information Technology in Future Accelerated Radical Innovation
In this paper, we define and focus on one of the vitally important challenges of accelerating radical innovation. This challenge is the critical need for nearly instantaneous access to information which influences or impacts accelerated radical innovation. Without information enhancement, radical innovation will undergo considerably less than the 10X, or more, improvements in time and effective...
متن کاملNetwork analysis of surgical innovation: Measuring value and the virality of diffusion in robotic surgery
BACKGROUND Existing surgical innovation frameworks suffer from a unifying limitation, their qualitative nature. A rigorous approach to measuring surgical innovation is needed that extends beyond detecting simply publication, citation, and patent counts and instead uncovers an implementation-based value from the structure of the entire adoption cascades produced over time by diffusion processes....
