Overview

Exploring the management of innovation is a largely interdisciplinary endeavour. It requires scholars to address problems from a variety of perspectives that include strategic, operational, technological and behavioural. The problem domain includes the management of innovation, technology strategy, research and development, information technologies, technology-based entrepreneurship, and the commercialization of scientific research. Behavioural theories of innovation have developed in multiple directions over the years, and this collection of chapters takes stock and provides examples of new developments at the intersection of innovation studies, and studies of managerial and organizational cognition. This is the third volume in the New Horizons in Managerial and Organizational Cognition series and comprises a collection of contributions that reflects the rich and encouraging developments at the intersection of cognition and innovation. The book explores the frontiers of socio-cognitive and socio-psychological research as it relates to innovation management and innovation processes. Major topics covered include attention, decision making, information processing, learning, cognitive frames, ecosystems and business model innovation, perceptual and interpretive processes, ethics and social dilemmas, power, and change.

Reviews

Business researchers demonstrate how theories of cognition can inform studies on the processes of innovation and creativity. Their topics include the performative power of words: how business model innovators use framing for strategic advantage, the relationship between demand-pull attention and radical product innovation: evidence through computer-aided text analysis, cognitive processes of entrepreneurial opportunity identification: toward a holistic understanding of the micro-mechanisms, and the moral dilemma of caring versus ruling: an examination of the ethical turn in practices. -- Annotation ©2019 * (protoview.com) *
