INtrODUctION Knowledge integration is a process whereby several individuals share and combine their information to collectively create new knowledge (Okhuysen & Eisenhardt, 2002). Here we are interested in knowledge integration in the context of innovation project teams tasked with developing a new product or organizational practice. Knowledge integration is crucial in relation to innovation, s...

Many current sustainability considerations in industry constrain design space by emphasizing reduced material and energy flows across product life cycles. However, there are also opportunities for sustainability awareness to extend design space and drive innovation. Product-service systems (PSS) in particular can be a vehicle through which sustainability-driven innovation occurs. A framework fo...

Innovation generation has increasingly been recognized as an outcome of interaction between a firm and various outside entities. According to this view, supplier involvement and alliances are routes to innovation generation. Despite this realization, there is a dearth of research, both conceptual and empirical, focusing on innovation generation in buyer-seller relationships in supply chains. In...

In this paper, using the governance, resources and processes model for an organization, we examine the organizational challenges for innovation in information systems in each of the three areas of this model. Information systems are a great tool to support innovation to improve the processes and activities in an organization to achieve a competitive edge. We review the role of leadership (gover...

This paper examines the effects of different types of cross border external linkages on innovation. Using Taiwan as the empirical setting, we examine how the effects of external linkages on innovation vary depending on the type of linkages (joint Venture, licensing, acquisition, etc.) as well as the type of innovation (radical versus incremental). Our result is robust to both patents and R&D ba...

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...

today, innovation and change have been recognized as a necessity in organization, especially in manufacturing organizations of industrial societies. but in most developing countries, the role and importance of this subject has not yet been fully realized. roots of change management, certain concepts and studies done in innovation and change be investigated and analyzed. schools of individual pe...

This paper describes two techniques aimed at design-driven product innovation. Both techniques focus on providing a different, initially disruptive, perspective form which to approach a design assignment. As a result, sticky meanings and conventions are shaken loose, opening up avenues for considering new meanings that set the stage for design-driven product innovation.. Workshop results sugges...

This article examines the significance of culture as a moderator of innovation, and criticizes monolithic accounts of military resistance to innovation. It then describes a dimension of military culture focused on the concept of the ideal combatant, and how that concept relates to innovation. Military culture can be improved by: (1) engineering the competitive context for innovation, and (2) cr...

It is widely acknowledged that suppliers contribute positively to innovation in new product development. However, it remains rather unclear what suppliers actually contribute to innovation. Based on a literature review focusing on 80 articles, and a focus group meeting with strategic purchasing managers, a conceptual framework is developed categorizing different supplier inputs to innovation. T...
