Author: Zhao, Fang
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1599049023
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 530
Book Description
It has become a widely-recognized fact that entrepreneurs and information technology have become the backbone of the world economy. The increasing penetration of IT in society and in most of industries/businesses, as well as the joining forces of entrepreneurship and innovation in the economy, reinforce the need for a leading and authoritative research handbook to disseminate leading edge findings about entrepreneurship and innovation in the context of IT from an international perspective.

Management and Engineering Innovation
Author: Carolina Machado
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118733320
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
This book discusses management and engineering innovation with a particular emphasis on human resource management (HRM) and production engineering. In an innovation context, the disciplines of management and engineering are linked to promote sustainable development, seeking cultural and geographical diversity in the studies of HRM and engineering, applications that can have a particular impact on organizational communications, change processes and work practices. This connection reflects the diversity of societal and infrastructural conditions. The authors mainly analyze research on important issues that transcend the boundaries of individual academic subjects and managerial functions. They take into account interdisciplinary scholarship and commentaries that challenge the paradigms and assumptions of individual disciplines or functions, which are based on conceptual and/or empirical literature. The book is designed to increase the knowledge and effectiveness of all those involved in management and engineering innovation whether in the profit or not-for-profit sectors, or in the public or private sectors. Contents 1. We the Engineers and Them the Managers, Teresa Carla Oliveira and Joao Fontes Da Costa. 2. Strategic Capabilities for Successful Engagement in Proactive CSR in Small and Medium Enterprises: A Resource-Based View Approach, Nuttaneeya (Ann) Torugsa and Wayne O’Donohue. 3. Innovative Management Development in the Automotive Supply Industry – A Preliminary Case Study for the Development of an Innovative Approach to Innovation Management, Frank E.P. Dievernich and Kim Oliver Tokarski. 4. Innovative Product Design and Development through Online Customization, M. Reza Abdi and Vipin Khanna. 5. Struggling for Survival and Success: Can Brazil’s Defense Industry Help Foster Innovation?, Alex Lôbo Carlos and Regina Maria de Oliveira Leite. 6. Knowledge Management Fostering Innovation: Balancing Practices and Enabling Contexts, Maria Joao Santos and Raky Wane. 7. Institutional Logics Promoting and Inhibiting Innovation, Teresa Carla Trigo Oliveira and Stuart Holland. 8. HRM in SMEs in Portugal: An Innovative Proposal of Characterization, Pedro Ribeiro Novo Melo and Carolina Machado. About the Authors Carolina Machado has been teaching Human Resource Management since 1989 at the School of Economics and Management, University of Minho, Portugal, becoming Associate Professor in 2004. Her research interests include the fields of Human Resource Management, International Human Resource Management, Training and Development, Management Change and Knowledge Management. J.

Practice-Based Innovation: Insights, Applications and Policy Implications
Author: Helinä Melkas
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642217230
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
The book describes and analyses the new environment for innovation, it does this with an emphasis on yet uncharted regions within the field of practice-based innovation, coming up with guidelines for innovation policy measures needed in order to realise this. While it focuses on these policies it also takes into account multi-actor innovation processes, user-driven innovation, "related variety" and many other aspects; aspects such as, just to name a few: communicating creative processes and distributing practice-based innovation; then there is creativity itself, encompassing new fields of knowledge and expertise. The authors go on to describe value networks, showing how to make practice-based innovations, explaining innovation diffusion and absorptive capacity. The book presents new insights as well as the latest research related to the frequently used term "innovation". Definitions are put forward, giving, by way of examples, a detailed description of concepts we draw upon when using these. Innovation as a concept is constantly being subdivided into increasingly finer distinctions, which, in turn, determine the discourse. The book takes a close look at these, further taking into account the challenges as well as the opportunities inherent in developing practice-based innovation procedures and policies of global importance, never losing sight of advancing long-term effectiveness.

Valuation of Patents
Author: Alexander Wurzer
Publisher: Kluwer Law International B.V.
ISBN: 9041140646
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 603
Book Description
Drawing on the full range of available resources, this book clearly and systematically presents a detailed overview of current knowledge about patent valuation. In the course of the presentation the authors cover such elements of the subject as the following: business implications of the dematerialization of economic life; importance of intellectual property in a knowledge economy; forms of value creation by intangible assets in general and by patents in particular; value proposition of different ways of patent exploitation; patent value affecting environmental factors and factors inherent to the patent portfolio; structure of current instruments of patent valuation. The authors provide a detailed step-by-step account of how to set up a valuation model, with specifications of all the instruments required and attention to any empirical findings that have appeared. In addition, detailed case studies demonstrate the practical execution of major varieties of patent valuation, an appendix describes the mathematics used to compute present value and net value, and a glossary defines technical terms. In addition to its contribution to legal scholarship on patent law, the book is unmatched as a procedural manual for setting up a valuation model before a concrete valuation task. There is no clearer discussion of patent valuation as a crucial element of corporate strategy in the knowledge economy, and as such the book will prove of great practical assistance to business managers and their counsel in any jurisdiction.
