Overview

Launched in 2011 to recognize the prolific contribution that PhD dissertations make to the field of Innovation Management, the ISPIM Dissertation Award selects three winners from the possible 100+ entries every year. Aided in the selection process by the generous support of Innovation Leaders, the ISPIM presents the awards at their annual Innovation Conference. With only three finalists being selected each year, many excellent submissions do not receive the recognition they deserve. To rectify this, the 2018 ISPIM Dissertation Award cast its spotlight beyond the top three dissertations and onto a much greater number of entries. Compiling the top 28 submissions received this year, 'New Waves in Innovation Management Research' is organized into six thematic sections that cover areas such as investments, collaboration, and creativity. Presenting a broad range of case studies and data from across global, this edited volume illustrates the breadth of research potential in the coming wave of innovation management. This book will be of interest to students, researchers and professional managers, alike, who are interested in or actively involved in the latest research on innovation management.

"It is well known that the new and most radical ideas in research emerge most often from the work of early-career scholars. In this regard, ""New Waves in Innovation Management Research"" does certainly deliver on its title. The book showcases insights from recent PhD dissertations, including classic topics such as collaboration and creativity, as well as upcoming topics such as digitalization and big data. In doing that, the book gives a useful overview of the important and emerging topics in innovation management. Therefore, having these up-to-date insights at hand is useful for both academics and practitioners working in the field. Paavo Ritala Professor of Strategy and Innovation Lappeenranta University of Technology, Finland Can we manage innovation? This is an old question to which we get better and better answers. Innovation is too important for both firms and countries to leave it up to chance, but no innovation can go without a spark of creativity. Researchers from all across the globe increase our knowledge regarding the aspects of innovation that leaders can influence. Researchers address questions such as: Which innovation phases can benefit from what support? Which methods are effective in which situations? What type of innovations require which kind of approaches? Managing innovation is not so much about controlling, it is much more subtle. Managing innovation is about facilitating, stimulating, challenging, guarding, experimenting, sensing and probing. Soft terms with solid effects. This book provides a state of the art overview of the research in this still emerging field. We know much more than a decade ago, while still feeling we have many unanswered questions. This book provides the next step. It summarizes cutting-edge research, incorporating leading firms and regions, and gives valuable insights into the what, when and how of innovation management.
