Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Innovationsumgebungen gestalten: Impulse für
Book SynopsisDie Ansicht, die deutsche Wirtschaft, samt der sogenannten Hidden Champions, wäre auf Jahrzehnte unangreifbar, ist eine riskante Wette auf die Zukunft. Entscheidend wird sein, wie innovativ die Unternehmen auch künftig sein werden und es bleiben. Wie man in seinem Unternehmen die Innovationsprozesse organisiert, die Ideen verwertet, Mitarbeiter aktiviert, Regeln aufstellt, Freiheiten einräumt und sich strukturiert, ist der jeweiligen Organisation überlassen, ist einzigartig und nur eingeschränkt planbar. Aber diese Innovationsumgebungen zu ermöglichen, ist eine unabdingbare Voraussetzung dafür, dass in Unternehmen Innovationen überhaupt entstehen und vorangetrieben werden können. Kombiniert mit einer positiv motivierenden Arbeitsatmosphäre, damit aus Neugier, Spieltrieb und Leistungsbereitschaft innovative Produkte und Dienstleistungen entwickelt werden können, bedarf es zusätzlich der Geschichten und Erfahrungen anderer Menschen bzw. aus interdisziplinärer Vernetzung. Die Beiträge in diesem Buch liefern Beispiele für gelingende Innovationsumgebungen, erzählen von besonderen Konstellationen und bieten so eine Reihe von frischen Impulsen für Unternehmer und Start-ups. Die Hidden Champions von heute werden auch die Champions von morgen bleiben, doch sollten wir langfristig übermorgen im Auge behalten.Table of ContentsEinleitung - 15 Jahre Lernkurve "Innovationsumgebung".- Innovationsmanagement und Digitalisierung - bleibt alles anders?.- Innovationsumgebungen außerhalb des Unternehmens - der Lead-User-Ansatz am Beispiel der Medizintechnikindustrie.- Innovativer Unternehmer versus Start-up-Gründer - Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten.- Künstliche Intelligenz - die nächste Revolution (The Artificial Intelligence Revolution).- Führung im Wandel - wohin in digitalen Zeiten?.- Business Model Innovation im digitalen Zeitalter.- Aufbau innovativer Ökosysteme und Einführung digitaler Smart Services an Beispielen der Wertschöpfungskette vom Bauinvestor bis hin zum Facility Management.- Wie können im Zeitalter von Start-ups Forschungseinrichtungen immer noch Innovationsmotoren sein?.- Start-up meets Mittelstand - Innovationshemmnisse reduzieren durch Kooperationen.- Querdenker - Impulsgeber für unkonventionelle Lösungswege.- Investoren-Pitch für Start-ups - Kommunikationsstrategien.- Zukunftsbild "Digitales Lernen": Das lernende Unternehmen 2025.- Digitale Plattformen als Innovationstreiber.- IT-Innovation - eine persönliche Zeitreise von Impulstechnik bis zum Digital Workplace.- Europas Gründer unter Druck - Resilienz und Coworking Spaces als neue Herausforderungen.- Expatriates - im Ökosystem zu Hause in der Ferne.- Zusammenfassung und Ausblick.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Cloud Transformation: The Public Cloud Is
Book SynopsisIn this book you will learn how the public cloud is significantly changing the cost structures of digital business models and thus existing markets. The relationships between the cloud architectures used, the organization of the company and the price and business models that are possible as a result are shown clearly and so that they can be used in your own company. The authors explain how, one after the other, more and more markets are becoming digital markets and what role marginal costs play in this. They describe how cloud-based IT is disrupting classic IT. This enables small teams to build scalable business models worldwide at zero marginal costs with little investment. The economic effects are clearly illustrated using specific examples. In addition, technical laypeople get an overview of which factors are particularly important for the competitiveness of their digital business models and how managers can influence them. Finally, the book gives practitioners specific guidelines on how the cloud transformation can be carried out in their company. The book is aimed primarily at executives and employees in the specialist departments and IT who want to drive the cloud transformation in their companies. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition, Cloud-Transformation by Roland Frank, Gregor Schumacher and Andreas Tamm published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.Table of ContentsForeword - 1. Do you remember Daimler, RTL and Siemens? - 2. Everything is going digital. - 3.

Book SynopsisCAPITALIZE ON YOUR BRIGHT IDEAS WITH LEGAL DESIGN THINKING Organizations today innovate to survive in a competitive, complex, and interconnected business world.

You will learn to use IP—which is at the core of every innovation—as a tool to define your strategy and manage the innovation process. It includes many examples, templates, and checklists to help put theory into practice. Test yourself with case studies, and use our hands-on Tools (legal design thinking) for your own projects and cases.Trade Review"This book is a necessity for anyone engaged in innovation! Not only does it unravel why intellectual property strategies are critical in today's dynamic and uncertain business world, it also offers a comprehensive hands-on approach empowering professionals to immediately revise and enhance their innovation and IP strategies." - Brian Tjemkes, associate professor in Strategy & Organization, VU Amsterdam

Springer Verlag, Singapore The Digitalization Conundrum in India:
Book SynopsisThis book examines the nature, extent and implications of rapid strides digitalization has made in India since the turn of the millennium. These have been examined not merely in the sphere of information and communication technology (ICT) but its multifarious applications spreading across almost all aspects of production, services and institutions which have profound repercussions for the transformation of the society and economy at the micro, meso and macro levels. With contributions from both ICT scholars and social scientists, this book presents diverse scenarios and unravels challenges faced in the process of technical applications, access by the users of these disruptive technologies (automation, e-commerce, big data analytics & algorithms, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, etc.) which, unlike heavy machines (embodied technology), mostly defy physical space, pace of mobility and inoperability between technologies. Chapters in this volume address challenges and possibilities in establishing and operating intricate engineering infrastructure, technical and societal constraints encountered in broad-basing digitalization across layers of educational and social skills conducive to difficult geographies. Issues dealt within this book include farming, healthcare, education, food processing, e-commerce, labour, rural community development, open source data and information democracy. The chapters also reflect upon implications on local economy and society, of the very global nature of these seamless technologies where inter-operability remains the quintessential advantage of digitalization whether promoted or spearheaded through the state, private sector or global capital. The book critiques policy inadequacies and suggests plausible policy approaches to reduce the adverse impacts of fast digitalization and broad-base potential benefits across space and levels of socio-economic development of regions and society. This book would be of interest to scholars, practitioners, technocrats, industry analysts, policy makers and civil society agencies.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

This book is especially valuable in its hierarchical categorization covering theoretical, empirical, industrial and strategic exploration. On one hand, it analyzes the mechanisms and approaches influencing the transformation of economic development driven by technological progress from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. On the other hand, based on the introduction of advanced international experiences, it probes into the guarantee basis for the strategic implementation and the corresponding mode choices of the transformations. Furthermore, it offers specific policy proposals from both the macro level of how technological progress promotes the transformation of economic development and the micro level covering the agricultural, industrial and service industries.Table of ContentsChapter1 Literature Review of Technological Improvement and Transformation of Economic Development Model.- Chapter2 Theoretical Research: Endogenous Growth Model Embedded with Innovation Heterogeneity.- Chapter3 Mechanical Analysis: Technological Improvement and the Transformation of Industry Development.- Chapter4 An International Comparison: Technological Improvement and the Transformation of Economic Development Model.- Chapter5 Measurement and Analysis of China’s Technological Improvement Comprehensive Capability and its Evolvement.- Chapter6 An Empirical Study of Economic Development Mode Transformation Promoted by Technological Improvement.- Chapter7 Technological Improvement and Agricultural Development Mode Transformation: Agricultural Intensification.- Chapter8 Technological Improvement and Industrial Development Mode Transfor mations: New Industrialization.- Chapter9Technological Improvement and Service Development Mode Transformation: Modernized Service Industry.- Chapter10 A Linkage between Advanced Manufacturing Industry and Modern Service Industry Promoted by Technological Improvement.- Chapter11 Basic Guarantee Foundation for the Implementation of China’s Technological Advance Strategies.- Chapter12 Mode Selections for the Transformation of Economic Development Mode Promoted by Technological Improvement.- Chapter13 Policy Proposals for Economic Development Mode Transformation Promoted by Technological Improvement.

Information Age Publishing Multi-Sector Partnerships for the Public Good
Book SynopsisWhat is the way that societies improve and solve problems? What is the purpose of business in society? Is there a role for markets and business in issues of civic good, justice, equality, education, environment, health or collective action? Current economic principles, which underpin our trust in markets are not value neutral. Therefore, how we design "market solutions" to problems should be the focus of vigorous and open debate. Multi-sector Partnership is a concept that has re-focused us on the meaning of the goods and social practices we value as citizens in a global society. Multi-sector partners emerge in society to offer innovative approaches to dealing with pressing, yet complex, social, economic and weather-related 21st century challenges.Multi-sector partnerships, loosely defined as activities with an embedded social purpose, is about using skills from a range of sectors to craft innovative responses to address social problems. It aims at social impact but does not exclude economic wealth creation. Thus, it is not limited to the non-profit or social sectors but seeks to mobilize and align interests of diverse stakeholders in the social, public and private sectors by creating non-financial incentives for collective action. Multi-sector partnerships involve recognizing that social problems are potential opportunities for collaboration, building on existing social networks, harnessing market forces that combine and mobilize resources, inciting positive change in various domains, and designing solutions for sustainable development.The purpose of this edited volume is to provide academic and practitioners with the essential conceptual frameworks and tools for creating successful Multi-sector ventures, initiatives, programs or partnerships that seek to tackle global social issues and collective action problems.

Information Age Publishing Amplifying Management Research for the Common
Book SynopsisHow can management research promote a more applicable and a more transparent knowledge for the benefit of individuals and organizations? Looming large over this question is the challenge of repurposing management research for improving public good. Co-edited by R. H. Tiell and S. C. Malka, the title of the book says it all - Amplifying management research for the common good: Lessons for curious individuals and organizations - Insights from practitioners in the field. In this book, we sought to bridge the chasm that separates the non-academic audience from the typically less-accessible scientific journals. We attempted to make empirical evidence more inclusive, impactful and public good relevant for the non-academic stakeholders that live and work in the broader community. For that purpose, we made available to the reader and to our chapter contributors a collection of published papers, some authored by the editors of this book, and others co-authored with other researchers. The papers cover a diverse set of business topics all of which we believe hold much relevance for management today. Providing the reader with their insights on subject matter along with lessons and practical recommendations, we sought experts in the field that can build on empirical research in various areas of management and then synthesize and broaden it through their expertise and work experience.As a trigger, we aligned each contributor with one or two empirical papers based on their background, interests, and professional experience. Using the assigned papers as a springboard, we asked each author to identify emerging themes around which they can build their chapter. We wanted them to think of the book audience: non-academicians comprised of interested and curious individuals, managers, and their organizations. And, we wanted our authors to elaborate on practical lessons, suggestions, and recommendations that can make a difference in the lives of the book audience. Our effort resulted in a collection of chapters covering a wide range of topics from supply chain challenges in Central America, to life changing long-term effects of the pandemic, from delivery of services for mental health and suicide, to logistics capabilities pre-post Ivan in the Cayman Islands, from the new workplace, to labor market shortages, and from new workforce service pathways, and the optimization of talent, to the impact of recent recessions on the youth and the unemployed, and the assessment of C-suit level leaders. We would like to believe that the breadth of the topics covered and the amount of information being disseminated through the book chapters are meaningful, practical, and relevant to a wide audience of curious readers.Trade ReviewI highly recommend Amplifying Management Research for the Common Good to anyone interested in shaping the workplace of the future. Written by a team of experts, this book provides a compelling argument for why free and open access to research is essential for improving workforce outcomes. The authors explore how the current paywall system limits the dissemination of critical research findings and prevents practitioners and policymakers from accessing the latest insights and innovations. As we exit a global pandemic and enter a re-shaping of the world of work the nation's talent development ecosystem must innovate and scale to the need. By advocating for open access to research, the authors advance the forming of a more effective and equitable workforce development system. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to contribute to that cause."" — Rick Maher, Adaptive Human Capital""Someone once observed that a crisis is a horrible thing to waste. The essence of this advice is that a crisis will always have the potential for the wise and curious to draw lessons and extract prescriptions. Tiell and Malka have produced a book reflecting not only their curiosity and wisdom, but also their desire to help all who follow their prescriptions. The Covid-19 pandemic was a life altering crisis. We should be thankful that they have not "wasted" the crisis, thus helping us improve our personal and professional lives."" — Lyle Sussman, University of Louisville""Employers and employees have experienced an amazing number of challenges and new opportunities during the past 3 years. Pre-Pandemic employers' challenges were primarily focused on low unemployment, managing wages and uncertainty for their future workforce. Employees were primarily working ""9 to 5"", in an ""office building"" or ""manufacturing facility"" and possibly thinking about their futures. As our society moves toward a Post-Pandemic work environment, employers have the same Pre-Pandemic challenges, but with a workforce that has shrunk faster than anticipated and have adjusted their priorities of work/life balance and workplace preferences. Whether your responsibilities involve Supply Chain, Production, Logistics, Accounting, Finance, Training/Education, Hiring/Retaining/Firing personnel or you simply are seeking to pursue career and professional growth. Everyone has likely experienced some amount of workplace change during the past several years.
