The first edition of Innovation Renaissance was published just before the onset of COVID-19, begging the question: can innovation stand the test of a truly global crisis, such as the pandemic? The answer, as author John Ettlie finds in this revised and updated second edition, is a resounding "YES"! Built around the central narrative of the development of the vaccines to combat hospitalization for COVID-19 and its mutations, this second edition of Innovation Renaissance acquires new focus and relevance to the post-pandemic world in which we live.Starting by defining innovation and the theories that have arisen surrounding it, Ettlie considers individual creativity and innovativeness, radical innovation, new products, new services, process innovation, information technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI). There is special emphasis on neglected topics such as the dark side of the innovation process-the unintended consequences of new ventures. Finally, the last chapter of the book summarizes a prescriptive model of the innovation process and attempts to answer the question: what causes innovation? Through the prism of the pandemic and the imperative quest to find a vaccine, this new edition examines and answers this question. Now fully revised and updated, this informative and unique book is designed as a resource for postgraduate students, academics, and professionals deeply committed to understanding and working through the innovation process. With a focus not just on where innovation has led us to date, but also where it may take us in the future, the second edition of Innovation Renaissance will find an audience wherever innovation is taught or practised.

Beyond a generic innovation toolkit, this book dissects the hidden biases and behavioral traps that too often doom innovation within companies to failure. It takes the reader on a journey to learn how to banish these innovation killers for good and turn their company into an innovation champion. In The Innovation Puzzle, Professor Victor Gilsing reveals that in most cases, these outcomes cannot be blamed on a lack of funding or a failure to follow innovation gurus' playbooks. Often, the real problem is that companies unwittingly build hidden barriers to innovation within themselves. From the systems they use to structure and monitor their business units to their hiring and promotion policies, not to mention their executives' leadership styles. Many of these processes and practices underpinning their core business activities end up depriving innovation of the time, space, vision, talents, and perseverance it needs to succeed. Building on this insight, The Innovation Puzzle helps readers identify and remove these barriers within their own firms. Rather than one-size-fits-all solutions, this volume offers instructive real-world examples. It provides practical, visually rich, and easy-to-apply tools that guide readers toward the measures that will transform their company from a follower into a leader in innovation. Perfect for executives and board members as well as for innovation talents and their managers, The Innovation Puzzle is the key that will unlock the expertise, innovation ambitions, and inspiration your firm needs to realize its true innovation potential and become an innovation champion.

The context of business has been changing for companies in recent years, and following numerous corporate and accounting scandals, many countries have increased the number of national and international regulations designed to ensure transparency and compliance with the law. Because of the existence of these new regulations, the level of control, the severity of sanctions by governments, and the amount of fines for noncompliance have increased dramatically.In parallel, with the technological revolution in communications, business management has become more transparent, and any negative event is uploaded to social networks and shared with an indeterminate number of people. This change in the regulatory, sanctioning, and technological context has forced large companies to rethink risks, investments, and budgets to deal with this more complex environment.To transition to this change, some companies have included ethics and compliance programs in their corporate agenda, along with marketing and sales plans, strategies, growth targets, investment plans, and/or talent acquisition. While each industry has its particular risks, in this book, the author describes the essential elements that any effective ethics and compliance program should contain.This book is a source of information that connects yesterday with today. The author shares observations and lessons of the past to suggest corporate leaders implement effective ethics and compliance programs to protect their organizations and themselves. The book covers theories of ethics but with an eye focused on practical application. Risks, ethics, and compliance are analyzed with an overall vision, connected to the reality of business life, without getting bogged down in abstract thinking or technical and regulatory details.Ethics and compliance are disciplines that have increasingly achieved greater recognition in organizations. Thus, due to the importance of risk management in the business world and the necessary involvement of the CEO and the board of directors, it seems appropriate that executives get access to a book about risks, ethics, compliance, and human resources directed not only to compliance experts but also to any organizational leader.This second edition specifically answers the following questions:Why is an ethical corporate culture important?Why is how we get the results important?Why should you control the exercise of power in your organization?What are the risks of the digitally hyper-connected world?Why must we be vigilant and react quickly when the risks are still small?Why are vision, motivation, and commitment needed to overcome internal resistance and implement changes in organizations? Should we become more aware that we can be deceived?How should we deal with uncertainty?What kind of training, analysis, and questioning can improve decision-making? What are the main compliance risks that organizations face?What basic elements should an ethics and compliance program have to protect a company against risks?This work offers various examples to cultivate ethical thinking and behavior, identify common risks, and comprehend their adverse effects on organizations.

The modern market-based economy generates wealth, but it lags on well-being; it has mastered efficiency, but struggles with equity; it boasts size, but falls short on sustainability. In other words, our economy delivers performance but neglects progress (i.e., well-being, equity, and sustainability). Many rightly call for tighter regulation, higher ("true") prices, and longer-term incentives. Others appeal to corporate purpose, shared value, and stakeholder-centricity. Beyond regulation and the practice of business, we must attend as well to education and the theory of business. In particular, we must look at business theory's core assumptions, whose weaknesses are long known. In an applied field such as business, where theory tends to be normative, flawed assumptions could act as a "wedge" cleaving apart performance and progress. In this volume, Subramanian Rangan brings together eminent social scientists and philosophers to explore core assumptions in each of the major fields of business-including economics, strategy, marketing, operations, decision science, leadership, governance, technology, and finance. This structured field-by-field reflection reveals and expands the bounds of our rationality. Core Assumptions in Business Theory proposes a revised profit function that integrates harm, outlines how economic actors may draw on moral philosophy to enact Pareto-equity (and not just Pareto-efficiency), suggests a two-stage rationality approach that can attend to well-being, and recasts marketing as consumer education and not merely demand promotion. With an emphasis on education rather than regulation of economic power, this volume argues that moral reasoning and moral roles can fruitfully supplement prudential reasoning and functional responsibilities. Such an evolution will enable our economy to be both modern and moral. This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence.

Wenten, Klara-Aylin, The Mechanisms of Agile Management. (Routledge Advances in Management and Business Studies) 200 pp. 2025:3 (Routledge, UK) <738-334>
ISBN 978-1-032-82842-8 hard ¥41,151.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book is about the underlying mechanisms of agile management that control work processes in the context of industrial tech development. It challenges commonly held beliefs in adaptability, collaboration and flattened hierarchies claimed to be achieved by agile approaches. In asking how these promises are put into practice, the book offers novel insights into how work is controlled in times of increasing flexibility and constant change in the world of work and management. Through a rich analysis of a case study in industrial tech companies, Klara-Aylin Wenten argues that agility is deeply entrenched in ambivalences ranging between planning and improvising, caring and exploiting, intimacy and professional distance, accuracy and imperfection and autonomy and control. She illuminates the challenging expectations and invisible work efforts that employees are faced with to adhere to the promise of agility. In introducing the concept of management scripts, the author sheds light on how action patterns, work habits, roles, interactions or artifacts embed (unspoken) guidelines instructing and controlling employees' daily work lives. This lens on scripts challenges conventional management theories and highlights the pivotal role of material objects in work control. The book thus extends our understanding of the heterogeneity of humans and nonhumans contributing to the dynamics of managerial control, even beyond the scope of agile methodologies.The book appeals to an academic audience ranging from the humanities and social sciences to more practice-based disciplines in management and business. As a research monograph, the book is predominantly dedicated to academic scholars in the fields of Science and Technology Studies, organization and management studies and the sociology of work but also addresses practitioners and scholars interested in business, innovation, design, anthropology or cultural studies.Chapter 1 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

Cyber security incidents are often attributed to "human error". The discipline of human factors recognises the importance of identifying organisational root causes, rather than focusing on individual actions or behaviours. Humans and Cyber Security: How Organisations Can Enhance Resilience Through Human Factors delivers an applied approach to capturing and mitigating the risk of the human element in cyber security and proposes that it is easier to change organisational practices than it is individual behaviour.This book identifies undesirable behaviours and practices, then analyses why they occur, and finally, offers mitigating actions. Models of behavioural motivations will be discussed alongside individual vulnerabilities. Organisational vulnerabilities will form the main focus of an applied approach to capturing and mitigating the risk of the human element in cyber security. It concludes with recommended processes that involve talking to a range of individuals across the organization. Backed up with practical materials to facilitate data collection, applied examples and mitigating strategies to address known human vulnerabilities, this book offers the reader a complete view of understanding and preventing cyber security breaches.The solutions in this book will appeal to students and professionals of human factors, security, informational technology, human resources and business management.

Research and development (R&D) activities do not fit the traditional project model. They may seem difficult to manage because of their inherent ambiguity, the need for creative exploration, and often the lack of having defined milestones and outcomes. However, project management methods, along with systems engineering as a complementary discipline, provide the ability to categorize R&D activities, bound them, and then assess progress along a defined course of action. They also provide information about status and progress, visibility into opportunities and challenges that might otherwise be missed, allowing timely course corrections.Project Management for Research and Development: Guiding Innovation for Positive R&D Outcomes, Second Edition, provides methods for optimizing results in R&D by using structured processes that come from the project management and are intertwined with the key complementary discipline of systems engineering. It provides processes, tools, and techniques to assess and manage creative activities in an optimal way. The core of the book is a flexible framework, which lifts the burden off organizations that do not want to invest heavily in implementing a significant number of often conflicting processes. It is a lightweight, flexible structure to help organizations and individuals meet their most important goals, no matter how complicated or complex these goals may be.Each chapter in the book includes Apply Now exercises, which allow immediate application of fundamental concepts, summarizes key points of concepts and terms, and provides templates to apply the ideas from each chapter to a real-life situation. The book also features unique and creative case studies to demonstrate the application of project management to various R&D projects.
