Conceptional Thoughts on a Holistic Support Tool for Biointelligence-Related Strategic Decisions in Enterprises

Biological transformation represents one of the most promising optimization strategies for a sustainable economy. The rapid convergence of biotechnology, information technology and production technology provides a vast area of innovation. From an economic and innovation policy perspective, cooperation structures and value creation systems will change significantly in a biointelligent transformation process. In the future, many industries will produce personalized products in a much more decentralized manner based on locally provided, renewable resources using autonomous non-expert systems. Such a profound change affects not only products and processes but also the organization of companies and how innovations are evaluated and implemented. In this paper, we thus discuss the need for a reorientation of innovation management in companies in the context of biological transformation. This article focused the central question of how the innovation management can change in the context of biointelligence so that companies can be helped to invest strategically in biointelligent innovations. We then outline the basic elements of a framework and discuss key challenges for future research and development. In this paper, we present initial thoughts on a framework for the management of biointelligent innovation that aims to solve the complex requirements of BioIntelligence. Our approach is based on a holistic view of different methods and techniques to provide a comprehensive solution to the challenges. We discuss the basic concepts and goals of this framework as well as potential application areas and challenges. Furthermore, we present first approaches for implementation and evaluation.

The impact of the 4th industrial revolution on the design fields of innovation management

Abstract At present, topics around the digitalization like Big Data, Industry 4.0, Internet of Things, Smart Something or Artificial Intelligence receive high attention. This increasing trends results in the digitalization and networking of products and value chains that offer great potential to secure and expand the competitiveness of the manufacturing industry. In addition to technical innovations, business model innovations as well as product or service innovations and the combination of both lead to unique selling points that are only made possible by new technologies. Against this background, digitization can be seen as a key driver of innovation. Within a very short time, start-ups have brought disruptive innovations into the market and turned entire industries upside down. While the manufacturing industry in particular has concentrated on the development of incremental innovations for a long time, the share of disruptive innovations is increasing continuously. This results in the need that companies have to modify the design of their innovation management to encourage disruptive innovations. On the one hand, it is important to make perfect use of day-to-day business; on the other hand, new subject areas must also be developed and explored in order to produce disruptive innovations. This two-handed approach to innovation management is also known as ambidexterity. In the course of this paper, the specific influences of digitization on the innovation management of companies in the manufacturing industry will be determined. On this basis, the particular challenges and their effects on the individual design fields of innovation management will be identified. As a result, we identified concrete design fields and belonging tasks that need to be modified from the perspective of increasing digitalization. Furthermore, we give first recommendations how the tasks of each design field could be adapted in order to encourage disruptive innovations.

EXPLORING INFORMATION CAPABILITY AND ITS ROLE IN INNOVATION

This study focuses on how innovation capability can be developed within a company and how information capability is integrated into the innovation process. Innovation, helped by elements that generate and share knowledge, is generated through different practices. Thus, the present study develops an analysis of the role of information capability in innovation through the assessment of the direct experiences of managers from innovative companies located in Spain through grounded theory methodology. Our findings suggest that strategy promotes the appropriate culture and values that are aligned with innovation in the company. Strategy also establishes and acquires the resources, both internal and external, that an organization needs in order to achieve competiveness through innovation. Moreover, the organizational culture and resources support the information capability, and this information capability in turn supports the knowledge management which supports and develops innovation. The contribution of this research is the proposal of a framework that explains the elements that underlie innovation management in companies. The paper contributes to a deeper understanding of how to use information capability and knowledge management as potential sources of innovation.

Gestión de la innovación empresarial: un enfoque multinivel

In this paper, we analyse the importance of innovation management in companies. The multilevel approach allows us to understand the phenomenon of innovation both from the perspective of the business manager and the policy maker, since the innovation ecosystem appears to play a key role in promoting innovative capacity in a given territory. While management models of innovation have changed over time, most of them have focused on large industrial enterprises without taking into account SMEs in general and micro-enterprises in particular, making it necessary to perform further studies on the innovation capacity of companies with this size.

Innovation as a Tool for Generating Value in the IT Services Sector

Facing growing competitiveness, innovation management in companies providing IT services has taken on a strategic and tactical design, a fact that can generate competitive advantages and reduce risks. The goal of this research is to identify parameters that are applicable to innovation management in the services field of IT companies. For research strategies, we carried out a literature search referring to innovation concepts, followed by a documentary research concerning the studied company’s processes. For research technique applied to the strategies adopted, we performed a qualitative assessment based on a questionnaire using the social scale of attitudes amongst employees working in an IT company’s services field. For the study’s main theoretical structure, we analyzed the concepts of innovation based on classical texts, which add up to a panel on innovation as an increasingly important factor in the economic scenario, besides crucial issues referring to the operation and implementation of innovation within enterprises. The results point to different elements capable of delivering value to IT businesses through innovation management. We concluded that, even in companies that already have pre-existing processes for dealing with the topic "innovation", there may be room for creating a process applied to innovation management. Our contribution, in this way, was to create added knowledge concerning the theory associated with aspects of innovation and the economic sectors linked to the provision of IT services.

Why Sun Ray failed to shine

PurposeThis paper aims to examine how previous innovation failures hindered subsequent related innovation at Sun Microsystems. It also aims to concentrate on the human resource management aspects.Design/methodology/approachThe paper traces the development of the Sun Microsystems Sun Ray offering, which followed its failed JavaStation product. It describes how the Sun Ray endeavour encountered the classic “innovator's dilemma” problems, well known to those who attempt to champion disruptive innovations.FindingsReveals that, despite its many strong competitive advantages, the Sun Ray computer has struggled to catch hold with customers, largely because of the company's inability to learn from its earlier JavaStation failure and to recover from the trauma of that failure.Practical implicationsPresents management practices to prevent major trauma and consequent innovation paralysis.Originality/valueContends that Sun Ray was too closely associated with the earlier, highly traumatic and publicized failure of JavaStation and never really got a chance to prove its mettle. Overcoming such innovation trauma is a critical but under‐appreciated aspect of innovation management in companies that depend on continuous innovation for their competitiveness.

Barriers to innovation management in service companies

This paper reports the result of a survey of service companies in the UK carried out to investigate how innovation is understood in service companies and to identify the potential barriers to innovation management in these companies. The research identifies a number of factors that could potentially inhibit innovation performance in service companies. The paper also investigates the effects of these factors on innovation performance and some interesting results are obtained. For instance, the difficulty in getting top management support as a barrier to innovation management is found to have a significant negative relationship with perceived innovation performance. In other words companies that did not perceive this factor as problematic to innovation management reported a superior innovation performance compared with companies that found this factor to be very problematic.
