The capability to innovate in an on-going manner is emerging as a decisive key factor in today's world of business and work. The ability to stay competitive is becoming identical with the ability to innovate. This book originated from the research and development project “International Monitoring” and outlines the topic of innovative capability from a practice-oriented angle. Contributions of German and international experts offer an enlightening glimpse behind the scenes of innovations. The central issue is not the description of features of successful innovation processes or how innovations can be efficiently controlled and managed, but under which conditions they can emerge in the first place. In what way can individuals, organizations, networks and societies be enabled to continuously induce innovations?
The dynamic change of work is one the greatest challenges of advanced industrial societies. Work is a systematically relevant element of the global economy, part of our everyday life, and a reflection of our socio-economic conditions and developments. This book outlines important trends, opportunities, and risks in the working environment of the 21st century. International researchers, economic actors, and politicians from twelve different countries are rethinking (or 'prethinking') work, and have produced inspiring articles on the future of work and the future of our socio-economic reality.

There are thousands of indicators produced to understand and govern our societies. Studies about the way indicators are used in technological innovation are significantly rare, despite the centrality of these decisions to promote growth in our technology-intensive civilization. This book presents what is known and what was discovered in a doctoral research, which analysed innovative business leaders, policymakers and public researchers responsible for technological innovations.
Der Band zeigt am Beispiel des Förderschwerpunkts „Innovationsstrategien jenseits traditionellen Managements“ im Programm „Arbeiten - Lernen - Kompetenzen entwickeln. Innovationsfähigkeit in einer modernen Arbeitswelt“ des Bundesministeriums für Bildung und Forschung auf, welches gesellschaftliche Innovationspotenzial anwendungsorientierte Forschung zur Gestaltung von Arbeit und Organisation an den Schnittstellen zu Politik und Wirtschaft erzeugen kann. Die AutorInnen reflektieren wissenschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Erträge, aber auch strukturell bedingte Divergenzen und zeigen auf, wie diese konstruktiv bearbeitet werden können.

Magisterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Sprachwissenschaft / Sprachforschung (fachübergreifend), Note: 1,0, Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen (Institut für Sprach- und Kommunikationswissenschaften), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: „Und ich will so lange weiter vordringen, bis ich irgend etwas Gewisses, oder, wenn nicht anderes, so doch wenigstens das für gewiß erkenne, daß es nichts Gewisses gibt.“ (René Descartes: „Meditationen über die Grundlagen der Philosophie“) Mit der ebenso berühmten wie evidenten Einsicht des cogito, ergo sum hatte Descartes ́ Streben nach einer unerschütterlichen Gewissheit bekanntlich ein Ende gefunden. Diese faszinierende S...
