Ever since the start of the Industrial Revolution in Britain in the 1760s, innovation and investment have been crucial elements in economic explanations of the dynamics of capitalism. Classical economics recognises that innovation embodied in the form of new machines through fixed capital investment is the essential process for realising economic development. This study sets up a theoretical li...

In this paper, we propose a phenomenological developmental model based on a stochastic evolutionary neuron migration process (SENMP). Employing a spatial encoding scheme with lateral interaction of neurons for artificial neural networks representing candidate solutions within a neural network ensemble, neurons of the ensemble form problem-specific geometrical structures as they migrate under se...

When it comes to the development of new products, the product management has to encourage collaboration throughout all shareholders. The higher the number of shareholders, the higher the challenges towards cost, development time, delay, quality, and communication. This task has become even more difficult since social networks and online communities have gained popularity as a customer-driven in...

– This paper describes an experimental approach to model an innovation process on the basis of principles and concepts of complexity theory and its possible implications on the outcome of the innovation process. It is part of ongoing research carried out at the University of Nyenrode in the Netherlands, at the Nyenrode Institute of Virtual Education and Knowledge Management. In this paper the i...

Based on an in-depth case study of Creative City Governance, a government reform program in South Korea's Seoul Metropolitan Government, the author explores the following research questions: 1) How does senior managers' transformational leadership affect an innovation-focused and performance-driven culture within local government? 2) How does a climate that nurtures creativity (i.e., recognitio...

As the digital shift in society affects both private and public organizations, role of innovation is critical if transformations are to succeed. Research has developed models explain how organizations societies. During last ten years, employee-driven emerged as a new approach innovation. Through this systematic literature review, we offer insight into intersection between innovation, coin term ...

The paper first analyses the process of innovation beginning with R&D. Most innovation is focused on the developed world. and developing countries face problems in adapting it to local conditions, problems which are likely to increase as technology becomes more complex and sophisticated. In this they may be better served by innovation coming out of China and India. Knowledge diffusion could be ...

Synopsis Most organizations today are required not only to establish effective business processes but they are required to accommodate for changing business conditions at an increasing rate. Many business processes extend beyond the boundary of the enterprise into the supply chain and the information infrastructure therefore is critical. Today nearly every business relies on their Enterprise Sy...
