Business innovation Books
Springer Verlag, Singapore Commercialisation and Innovation Strategy in
Book SynopsisThis book focuses on the process of commercialisation and innovation management in small firms. Although commercialisation and new product development (NPD) has been covered quite extensively, relatively little attention has been given to how small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) engage with these issues. The book explores this topic in depth, taking a close look at the reasons why decisions are made and mapping this behaviour against established theories and “best practice” models of NPD and commercialisation.The book uses case studies to analyse the relationship between entrepreneurial decision- making and commercialisation, and investigates how and why NPD and commercialisation decisions are made, which offers valuable insights from both a theoretical and applied perspective.Table of ContentsChapter 1. Innovation and Commercialisation in Small Firms.- Chapter 2. Conceptual Foundations of the Book.- Chapter 3. The Decision to Innovate.- Chapter 4. Screening Opportunities.- Chapter 5.

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Effective Organizational Change Leading Through Sensemaking
Book SynopsisEffective Organizational Change explores the importance of leadership for organizational change based on sensemaking. Combining a theoretical overview, models and conceptual discussions rich with in-depth examples and case studies, this book uncovers what it is that leaders actually do when they lead change through sensemaking. Trade Review‘I thoroughly enjoyed reading ‘Effective Organizational Change: leading through sensemaking’. Einar and Jacob have done a brilliant job in bringing the challenge of organizational change alive through their focus on individuals, personal realities, and sensemaking. The ability to understand (not necessarily agree with) and act on the very personal realities of others is crucial when initiating and leading organizational change. Indeed, a focus on people rather than on strict rules and structure is what will enable successful change. This view is not only embraced but strengthened through this work, and Effective Organizational Change is an essential read for both scholars and practitioners.’ - Professor Rune Todnem By, Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Change Management, and co-author of Managing Change in Organizations, Staffordshire University Business School, UK‘There are many books on organizational change, but this one renews and transcends the genre! This book proposes an engaging view of how change leaders can travel inside "the spiral of sensemaking". I enjoy reading this book because it intelligently demystifies why most organizational changes fail and translates a decade of practice-based research into a set of reflexive tools for practitioners.’ - Linda Rouleau, Professor of Organization Theory, Professorship in Strategy Organization and Social Practices, HEC Montreal, Canada‘This book is a successful combination of academic excellence and in-depth practical experience. The landscaping metaphor gives a breath of fresh air to a field that for too long has been dominated by superficial how-to handbooks and "best practice"statements. This is indeed a really important and needed contribution in a time of uncertainty and rapid change.’ - Jerry Karlsson, CEO, Swedish Institute for Quality‘By combining theory and practice, the authors have produced an excellent, informative and insightful book which addresses key issues in leading change, especially the vital role played by sensemaking processes.’ - Professor Bernard Burnes, Chair of Organisational Change, Stirling Management School, University of Stirling, UK‘This is not just another text book on organizational change. Instead of presenting a bunch of old and new theories about change, the authors have written a testimony that really captures the challenges of leading change in an imperfect world. It is obvious that they have been out there in the trenches. To put it simple: this is a must-read-book that really makes sense.’ - Anders Mellberg, former CEO, Agria InsuranceTable of Contents1.
