Nowadays competing in unforgiving and dynamic markets requires fostering innovative cultures that continuously actualize the fit between the changing requirements of demanding customers and the organization's offering and capabilities.In a clear move towards this direction, many large companies have started implementing programs aimed at building innovation as a broad and sustainable competence installed in their DNA. As organizational cultures have to do with all organizational members, a shared characteristic of many innovation initiatives is involving and reaching people at every corner of the organization. Using a cognitive perspective and a rich database, this paper explores how structural aspects influence the way in which employees perceive innovation building initiatives. Results show that there are relevant perception gaps among both functional areas and hierarchical levels, and that there is a widespread skepticism regarding the future of these initiatives.

This myth-busting book shows large companies can construct a strategy, system, and culture of innovation that creates sustained growth. Every company wants to grow, and the most proven way is through innovation. The conventional wisdom is that only disruptive, nimble startups can innovate; once a business gets bigger and more complex corporate arteriosclerosis sets in. Gary Pisano's remarkable research conducted over three decades, and his extraordinary on-the ground experience with big companies and fast-growing ones that have moved beyond the start-up stage, provides new thinking about how the scale of bigger companies can be leveraged for advantage in innovation. He begins with the simply reality that bigger companies are, well, different. Demanding that they "be like Uber" is no more realistic than commanding your dog to speak French. Bigger companies are complex. They need to sustain revenue streams from existing businesses, and deal with Wall Street's demands. These organizations require a different set of management practices and approaches--a discipline focused on the strategies, systems and culture for taking their companies to the next level. Big can be beautiful, but it requires creative construction by leaders to avoid the creative destruction that is all-too-often the fate of too many.

Innovation is widely recognized as a major source of modern productivity growth. Indeed, it is seen as constituting a central process of economic advancement in industrialized countries. Despite this, a considerable gap still exists in knowledge and technological capability between industrialized countries and the more dynamic developing countries such as China. Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are a major contributor to China's economy and SME's contribution to China's GDP is close to 60%.This book studies the strategy and mechanism of leveraging innovation capability in China's SMEs by applying the theory of Total Innovation Management (TIM), which is the new paradigm of managing innovation in enterprises developed by the Research Center for "Innovation and Development" (shortly RCID) of Zhejiang University, China. According to Eric von Hippel, MIT, RCID is the Top 10 Innovation Management research institutes in the world.Leverage Innovation Capability probes the strategy and mechanism of leverage the innovation capability in the firm, especially in China's SMEs. It analyzes how the SMEs utilize all the innovation elements in the firm, including Strategy innovation, Tech innovation, marketing innovation, organization innovation, culture innovation, innovation networking, learning and knowledge management, high involvement innovation, cooperation innovation, etc. to leverage innovation capability.

If you cannot maintain sustaining and transformational Innovation capabilities in your organisation, you are unlikely to succeed in today's disruptive world. Most entrepreneurs and business managers recognise this; they know that Innovation is essential to them for creating or maintaining future revenues, but they often become stalled in a gap between Innovation rhetoric and action, paralysed by past failures and/or a lack of consensus on what next to do. In Innovation Reboot, Chris Hakes challenges business mangers and entrepreneurs to think again about Innovation. This practical work-book provides an Innovation Capability Assessment Framework, within which managers in organisations, large or small, public or private, can get value from reviewing their organisation's (or their team's) Innovation capabilities and producing improvement plans. Included are insights into why successful organisations regard Innovation as an essential competence in today's disruptive world; a Capability Assessment Framework with a 7 element scorecard, to allow readers to assess their organisation's (or their team's) performance and plan improvements; insights into proven practices that have worked for successful innovators and guidance on how best to manage Innovation and build the competences likely to enhance the readers own, their team's, their organisation's and maybe even their region's future success.
