In light of a history of legislative actions in the United States to encourage collaborative R&D, this book characterizes U.S. collaborative R&D through the eyes of the National Research Joint Venture Database. Facilitating a fresh statistical look at collaborative R&D as a purposive strategy in the light of existing public policies, this book also provides a critical evaluation of the effectiveness of those attendant policies. Through an original project-based micro database, the author reveals the patterns of competitive behavior associated with collaborative R&D. Accompanied by follow-up statistical and econometric analyses, readers are not only confronted with what might be the most complete picture of U.S. collaborative R&D to date, but they are also provided with key indications of the effectiveness of U.S. legislative actions which is set to inspire further collaborations in research.

How Can Research Leaders Differentiate Their Abilities to Catalyze Research? Faced with constraints on their time, energy, and resources, research leaders in organizations including research universities, independent research institutes, academic medical centers, and research-active hospitals can improve their abilities to effectively support and accelerate research at their institutions. Catalyzing Research, based on Rand Haley's nearly 20 years of experience partnering with research organization leadership and faculty, presents a guide for research leaders that focuses on the complex, challenging interface between faculty and the administration. It examines in detail four key areas: core research facilities, research centers and institutes, research development, and strategic research investment. ::::::: Advance Praise for CATALYZING RESEARCH "Rand Haley appreciates the interesting challenges faced by chief research officers who are expected to catalyze the growth of research, despite limited resources, and the reality that faculty don't report to them. This book will provide both existing and future research leaders with valuable perspectives." - Dr. David LeeVice President for Research>"In Catalyzing Research, Rand Haley has managed to synthesize and address the complexities of the position of senior research officer. The book provides a road map for success for both the seasoned research officer and for those aspiring to this position." - Dr. Ana de Bettencourt-DiasAssociate Vice President for Research>"In an increasingly complex and competitive research landscape, Catalyzing Research offers research leaders poignant insight and concrete strategies for differentiation.

As a seasoned expert in business consulting, Ken Estridge knows that achieving accountability is often a difficult task for even the largest and most successful companies. With the millennial generation disrupting conventional forms of workplace accountability and engagement, it has never been more important for companies to adapt. Drawing upon his thirty-five years of experience, Inspire Accountability explores how employers can transform their millennial-infused businesses to attract and retain a workforce that is dedicated to owning their responsibilities. Using the 7Cs-culture, clarity, capacity, competence, confidence, commitment, and compensation- senior-level executives and leadership teams can heighten their company's productive engagement in the age of millennials.

"American public policy has had a long history of technological optimism. The success of the United States in research and development contributes to this optimism and leads many to assume that there is a technological fix for significant national problems. Since World War II the federal government has been the major supporter of commercial research and development efforts in a wide variety of industries. But how successful are these projects? And equally important, how do economic and policy factors influence performance and are these influences predictable and controllable?Linda Cohen, Roger Noll, and three other economists address these questions while focusing on the importance of R&D to the national economy. They examine the codependency between technological progress and economic growth and explain such matters as why the private sector often fails to fund commercially applicable research adequately and why the government should focus support on some industries and not others. They also analyze political incentives facing officials who enact and implement programs and the subsequent forces affecting decisions to continue, terminate, or redirect them. The central part of this book presents detailed case histories of six programs: the supersonic transport, communications satellites, the space shuttle, the breeder reactor, photovoltaics, and synthetic fuels. The authors conclude with recommendations for program restructuring to minimize the conflict between economic objectives and political constraints."

Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Ingenieurwissenschaften - Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen, Note: 1,2, Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, ein Kennzahlensystem zur Regulierung der Verschwendung für die Abteilung Forschung und Entwicklung im Rahmen des Lean-Development Konzeptes aufzustellen. Es wird die Hypothese untersucht, ob es möglich ist, über Kennzahlen Verschwendungen in der Praxis zu identifizieren und zu regulieren. Die Untersuchung basiert auf Grundlage der bereits identifizierten hohen Verschwendung in der Forschung und Entwicklung und der zunehmenden Relevanz der Abteilung. Die Differenzierung vom Wettbewerb durch andere Produkte ist ein Kernmerkmal eines erfolgreichen Unternehmens. Die Erforschung und Entwicklung dieser Produkte unterliegen in den meisten Unternehmen der Abteilung Forschung und Entwicklung (FuE) unter Vorgabe einer strategischen Ausrichtung des Unternehmens oder Konzerns zur Sicherung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit.Es werden im Produktentstehungszyklus bereits 80-90 Prozent der Gesamtkosten eines Produktes über den gesamten Marktzyklus festgelegt, daher ist die Erhöhung der Ausgaben in dieser Abteilung wenig verwunderlich. Allein in Deutschland sind die Ausgaben für FuE in den 20 Jahren ab 1997 in Abhängigkeit vom BIP um fast 50 Prozent gestiegen. Weltweit sind zwischen 2000 und 2012 in den wirtschaftlich stärksten Ländern die Ausgaben für FuE stärker gestiegen als das BIP bei gleichzeitigem Anstieg des BIP.

Innovation. No other concept is so widely celebrated, yet so secretly dreaded. The reason: innovation requires managing through uncertainty. This is hard for any organization whether private or public, small or large. This book provides a roadmap for those who want to understand and manage innovation in all its aspects. It explains both the "how" and the "why" of innovation ¿ its economic and policy context as well as the techniques by which it can be orchestrated, along with the management systems needed to govern it. Innovation is uniquely presented through both a private-sector (value-creating) and public-sector (mission-fulfilling) lens. Topics covered in context include modern innovation and creativity techniques such as design thinking and the Lean Startup, the organizational challenges of innovation, as well as innovation project- and portfolio management techniques. Business-model innovation and open innovation complete the picture from the manager¿s perspective. The private and public financing of R&D, startups, and corporate innovation are presented ¿ contrasting the private and public worlds while explaining how they complement each other. Government innovation policy is discussed in its historical and contemporary context, and the innovation policy toolset is introduced. Continual innovation is vital for companies and countries to prosper. Readers will learn why innovation must follow technological breakthroughs to raise productivity and economic growth, and how innovation ¿ when done right ¿ can benefit larger society. An explanation for unequal growth ¿ that some companies, regions, and countries are not seeing the full productivity gains promised by modern technology ¿ is explored in the context of technology diffusion. No previous experience in innovation management, economics or public policy is assumed, and the book moves fast to equip the reader with practical tools and techniques. Innovation for Value and Mission is suitable for an introductory graduate level course, or as a desk reference for experienced practitioners and policymakers. Because it connects multiple topic areas and contains ample additional references, the book is also a great resource for those with expertise in one particular area of innovation who desire to branch out into other areas.

"A framework for navigating disruption that crosses industry boundaries, through the development of ecosystems"--

We all know the proverb about teaching someone to fish, but if there are no fish left, knowing how to catch them won't do you any good. And that's the position businesses are in today. Resources are being depleted at an alarming rate and the cost of raw materials is rising dramatically. As a result, scholar and entrepreneur Nadya Zhexembayeva says, businesses need to make resource scarcity - the overfished ocean - their primary strategic consideration, not just a concern for their ''green'' division.

Using real cases of food fi rms and agriculture supply chains as a context, How is Digitalization Affecting Agri-food? New Business Models, Strategies and Organizational Forms aims to understand the key themes in strategic and organizational research in this area.Despite the importance of food and agriculture in the current political and societal context, analysis of the impact of digitalization and information technologies on the industry is still limited. The objective of this monograph is to understand the direction of this change. With case studies of food firms and agriculture supply chains it sets out to conceptualize food organizing and organizations as a fruitful object of inquiry, both at the intra and interorganizational levels. It aims to understand new business models, strategies, and organizational forms. Contributions in this stream of research have the potential to yield important and relevant insights for both scholars and societies.This book is written primarily for academics engaged in innovation management or strategy, or conducting organizational behavior research. It will also be of relevance to practitioners and managers in the agri-food industry.

Megaprojects, also referred to in the literature as Large Engineering Projects or Major Projects, are generally defined as large-scale investment initiatives worth 1b¿/$ or more and, facing similar problems independent of the country where they are implemented and the industry they belong to. The common feature of most megaprojects is that they are difficult to design and manage so that their realization and completion is always extremely expensive, often over budget and delivery deadlines also are not met. In the worst-case scenario, they remain unfinished.This book, through its multidisciplinary approach, offers food for thought and alternative interpretations for the complex world of megaprojects. While much research has been conducted and differing approaches have been developed over the last 20 years, there is still a lot of debate surrounding the topic, and a holistic approach for effectively managing these initiatives is still missing. What is clear to all researchers and experts in the field is that a traditional-linear management approach is simply not sufficient, as at many stages of a megaproject, iterative and feedback effect occurs due to stakeholder involvement and increasing and continuous interaction between them.The book promotes the debate among all categories of stakeholders involved in the megaproject's supply chain, in order to increase the awareness of complex phenomena relating to the critical issues and common problems they face, all over the world, and to seek performance improvement across the whole life cycle of a megaproject, including the selection, design, construction, operation and de- commissioning.The multidisciplinary approach cultivated in the book conveys an innovative way to study megaprojects and their inherent complexities.

This book provides insights into how new ventures in emerging economies and developing countries generate social innovation. It showcases new forms of business and how they are different from traditional business models. With increasing drive for innovation in emerging markets and lack of knowledge of how these markets work, this book enriches existing literature by looking at how such businesses in developing economies break new ground in a daunting, resource constrained environment. The book examines successful individual entrepreneurs, social relationships, product innovation, processes, systems and markets through cases. It navigates across key theoretical elements including individual initiative-taking, agency, and opportunity contexts.This book will be a useful reference to understanding the dynamics of new ventures in emerging markets and how they fuel social innovation and sustainable development.

The aftermath of the 2008 crisis has substantially increased the regulation of banks and insurance companies and curtailed their risk taking, which has shifted much of the risk to their clients: firms and consumers. At the same time, digitalization has encouraged the entry of new firms combining finance and technological innovation, a phenomenon known as FinTech. The emergence of non-bank financial entities has contributed to the fragmentation of financial services, and also opened up new markets. Furthermore, the growing emphasis on corporate social responsibility has made it increasingly important for financial organizations to care about their public image.Drawing together these diverse strands, this book examines how the financial sector is evolving and how the existing actors are adapting to the institutional change and to the challenges from new actors and competitors. It also addresses the issue of how financial organizations are providing fixes to the challenges at the systemic level and how a healthier, more diverse and socially responsible financial sector is beneficial to the operations of the market economy as a whole. While there are books that address each of these issues, and also books that look at organizational diversity, there are few that investigate their interconnectedness.Responsible Finance and Digitalization offers a topical overview of the changes that are taking place in the financial sector and how the financial sector itself can contribute to solving global challenges. It equips both students (at MBA and other levels) and practitioners with analytical tools to reflect on this change and to take appropriate action to ensure that their organization can successfully navigate it and create value.
