Managing Knowledge, Absorptive Capacity And Innovation
Knowledge Management focuses on identifying, sharing, storing, and exploiting internal knowledge, whereas Open Innovation is more concerned with sources of external knowledge. However, this simple dichotomy between open and closed approaches is unhelpful and not realistic. Instead, it is the interaction between internal and external knowledge that creates dynamic capabilities and the ability to innovate. In particular, we need to better understand the interactions between internal and external knowledge, and how these influence innovation outcomes under different conditions. This edited volume, Managing Knowledge, Absorptive Capacity, and Innovation, provides an opportunity to combine contemporary interests in Open Innovation with the classic notion of absorptive capacity, to better understand how organisations can manage the absorption and exploitation of inbound external sources of knowledge in order to innovate.
Erfolgreiche Innovationsworkshops
In ihrem Buch beschreiben die Autoren die Grundlagen innovativer Prozesse im Hinblick auf Kreativität, Kollaboration und radikale Nutzerzentrierung. Aus den großen Innovationsmethoden wie Design Thinking oder Lean Startup haben sie die besten Ansätze für die praktische Handhabung in Workshopsettings aufbereitet. Die Besonderheit des Ansatzes der Autoren liegt in der bedarfsgerechten Gestaltung eines Innovationsworkshops als Mikroelement im Innovationsprozess. Zu diesem Zweck müssen passende Innovationstools individuell und adaptiv zusammengestellt werden, die dann im Workshop eingesetzt werden können. Die Autoren beschreiben zum einen ihre erprobten Lieblingstools in einer anleitenden ...
Wertschätzende Teamentwicklung

Weiterhin gilt es, die Interaktion in der Zusammenarbeit zu fördern, den Beziehungsaufbau aktiv zu gestalten und Anreize für eine selbst- und fremdmotivierte Beteiligung zu schaffen. "Wertschätzende Teamentwicklung" stärkt den Zusammenhalt im Team, das Wissensmanagement sowie die Lernkultur. Konzepte und Tools für die Anwendung werden mit inspirierenden Stimmen aus der Praxis ergänzt, um ein möglichst ganzheitliches und praxisnahes...

Design Process Improvement
vi The process is important! I learned this lesson the hard way during my previous existence working as a design engineer with PA Consulting Group's Cambridge Technology Centre. One of my earliest assignments involved the development of a piece of labo- tory automation equipment for a major European pharmaceutical manufacturer.Two things stick in my mind from those early days – first, that the equipment was always to be ready for delivery in three weeks and,second,that being able to write well structured Pascal was not sufficient to deliver reliable software performance. Delivery was ultimately six months late,the project ran some sixty percent over budget and I gained my first promotion t...
