Takabumi Hayashi, Yoshikazu Sakamoto, editors. Strategic management and innovation strategies : from the perspective of revisiting dynamic capabilities. Springer, [2025]. ISBN:9789819684366; 9819684366
This book uses case studies to analyze how companies have implemented business strategies to adapt from analogue to digital, from hardware-based to software-based, and from incremental to radical innovation, in the new-generation competition. Through this analysis, the distinctive features and challenges of these companies are examined from the perspective of innovation strategy, focusing on dynamic capabilities of the companies. A major objective of this monograph is to identify the key determinants that make up the dynamic capabilities of the companies in international competitive marketplaces. In other words, the analytical focus is on clarifying the consistency and differences between the representative dynamic capability theory and the innovation strategies of companies examined in this study. It also presents management strategies from the perspective of organizational transformation when confronting companies with cost-competitive and innovative resources. The common feature of the studied companies is that entrepreneurial managers and leaders have played the critical roles in creating new business units with organizational transformation. The book demonstrates the differences in innovation strategies from those of typical companies previously analyzed. This book is highly recommended not only to academicians but to businesspeople who seek an in-depth and up-to-date overview of unique innovation strategies of companies that are leaders in global markets

Whether you're developing next-generation auditory devices or seeking a deeper understanding of the science behind cochlear implants, this book serves as both a technical reference and an inspiring guide to the future of hearing restoration for patients

The fourth industrial revolution and the labour market : future-proofing work in the innovation economy / Jon-Arild Johannessen

Wed, 24 Jan 2024 00:22:45 +0900

Jon-Arild Johannessen. The fourth industrial revolution and the labour market : future-proofing work in the innovation economy. Routledge; Routledge, 2024; ©2024, Routledge studies in the economics of innovation. ISBN:9781032564296; 9781032564302
"The innovation economy is the driver for the development of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and consequently, there is a growing focus on innovation in general and technological innovation in particular. In this context, there is much to suggest that it is the triple impact of artificial intelligence, big data and 5G- and 6G networks that will go beyond the limits of existing competence. This book is about the new competence that is emerging in the wake of artificial intelligence and intelligent robots. It explains how these two technologies are completely fundamental to what is known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The author argues that artificial intelligence will promote automation, which will reduce wages rather than increase unemployment statistics. The book posits that when the utility value of technology and the rate of dissemination of technology is high, people who have the necessary competence will both future-proof their jobs in the labour market and also be among the highest-paid workers in the new economy that is emerging from the innovation economy. Further, by making education more compatible with new technology will enable graduates to access more secure and better paid jobs, and all behavioural fields related to new technology will flourish because they can be used in many contexts to steer people's behaviour in certain directions through the integration of big data and artificial intelligence. The book employs the following scholarly methods: conceptual generalization, scenario-based thinking and historical economic methodology, thus it will be of particular benefit to academic scholars, researchers and graduate students who are concerned with the impact of the fourth industrial revolution on the labour market"--

Power and progress : our thousand-year struggle over technology and prosperity / Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson

Thu, 26 Sep 2024 20:42:56 +0900

Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson. Power and progress : our thousand-year struggle over technology and prosperity. Basic Books, 2023. ISBN:9781399804455; 1399804456; 9781399804462; 1399804464
A bold new interpretation of why technology has all too often benefited elites - and how we must reshape the path of innovation to create true shared prosperity. A thousand years of history and contemporary evidence make one thing clear. Progress is not automatic but depends on the choices we make about technology. New ways of organizing production and communication can either serve the narrow interests of an elite or become the foundation for widespread prosperity. Much of the wealth generated by agricultural advances during the European Middle Ages was captured by the Church and used to build grand cathedrals while the peasants starved. The first hundred years of industrialization in England delivered stagnant incomes for workers, while making a few people very rich. And throughout the world today, digital technologies and artificial intelligence increase inequality and undermine democracy through excessive automation, massive data collection, and intrusive surveillance. It doesn't have to be this way. Power and Progress demonstrates that the path of technology was once - and can again be - brought under control. The tremendous computing advances of the last half century can become empowering and democratizing tools, but not if all major decisions remain in the hands of a few hubristic tech leaders striving to build a society that elevates their own power and prestige. With their breakthrough economic theory and manifesto for a better society, Acemoglu and Johnson provide the understanding and the vision to reshape how we innovate and who really gains from technological advances so we can create real prosperity for all. --

Beyond eureka! : the rocky roads to innovating / Marylene Delbourg-Delphisほか

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 19:26:39 +0900

Marylene Delbourg-Delphis; foreword by Guy Kawasaki. Beyond eureka! : the rocky roads to innovating. Georgetown University Press, [2024]; ©2024. ISBN:9781647124229; 1647124220
"This tour-de-force of the history of the implementation of innovation seeks to address one of the biggest problems faced by entrepreneurs and corporate executives alike: the conflation of entrepreneurship with innovation. They are not the same, and they each come with their own challenges and opportunities. Starting a business is not the same as innovating a new product or service. Many books explain how to pitch, start and scale a company, as well as how to structure engineering, product, sales, marketing, and financial departments. It's implied that the company has a product or a service that has enough differentiators for the organization to succeed in the marketplace and that its founders and teams will thereby automatically be perceived as innovators. People get their understanding of what innovating means from various informal and formal sources, but it's when they get into creating something novel, whether a new product, conceptual breakthrough or business model, that they truly begin to reflect on what they thought they knew. It is then that they often become confused by the conventional wisdom. Silicon Valley pioneer and serial entrepreneur Marylene Delbourg-Delphis answers the most important questions about innovation that she has been asked by other founders and CEOs over the years. Packed with the benefits of hands-on experience, historical knowledge, and conceptual analysis, this book is a critical foundation for innovators, whether entrepreneurs or the strategic leadership teams of established companies, including heads of sales, marketing, operations, and product development"--Provided by publisher

The management of innovation : managing and creating technology capital / Alberto Galasso

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 20:49:50 +0900

Alberto Galasso. The management of innovation : managing and creating technology capital. University of Toronto Press; University of Toronto Press, [2024]. ISBN:9781487553562; 9781487553593; 1487553595; 1487553579; 9781487553579
"Despite the importance of innovation for the growth of firms, industries, and the national economy, the strategic tools available to effectively manage and create new technologies are often neglected by entrepreneurs and corporate managers. The Management of Innovation examines how firms can leverage and create technology capital. Over the past two decades, economists and management scholars have developed several new insights into how large companies and start-ups can be more innovative. Many of these research findings have not yet reached management practice. Alberto Galasso aims to address this issue by providing an accessible overview of the innovation literature and a discussion of the latest research findings. The analysis considers the two key stages of the innovation process: technology management and technology creation. Each stage involves complex managerial decisions related to resource allocation and the assessment of relevant costs and benefits. This book examines the most frequent trade-offs that shape the innovation process across these two stages. It also provides an introduction to intellectual property and patent analytics. In doing so, The Management of Innovation provides MBA students and practitioners the necessary tools and insights to help avoid poor decisions by start-up entrepreneurs and corporate managers alike."--
