Book Description
This book offers fresh insights into innovation management and its prerequisites. Based on these insights, the authors present a new and proven innovation system, which is being used in practice and has the potential to significantly increase the ability of enterprises to innovate. Starting with the innovation dilemma that enterprises face, the book analyses the concept of innovation as it is (mis)understood in practice, and identifies the missing element in current innovation theories - the innovation gap. Further, it asks whether today's enterprises are well suited for innovation and then describes a solution to the problems identified. The book also introduces a new and important element of the revised innovation process called “Exploration”. From leadership issues to building a strong innovation model, it offers state-of-the-art knowledge, which can significantly boost the chances of innovation succeeding in enterprises.

Book Description
This paper presents an integrative model for innovation diffusion using a market orientation approach to radical innovation creation and market adoption intention. It is argued that lead-users possessing high opinion leadership qualities (i.e. social influence, community active, innovation/modification sharing) will adopt radical innovations at a faster rate than lead-users with low opinion leadership propensities. This integrative model is expected to help managers in utilizing the opinion leadership qualities of select lead-users while developing and introducing new innovations. This integrated research approach is not only appropriate for the "mainstream" product development, but calls for the marketers to identify a new adopter category personified by the lead-users with high opinion leadership qualities and to consider them as a particular group of interest for future marketing research and practice. Finally, research propositions are offered based on modelling these relationships in order to drive future empirical research.

Book Description
The idea of gap-funding program, in which academic scientists are given research funding for developing proof-of-concept and prototype, has recently attracted attention as a policy measure of commercializing academic science. While the earliest programs of its kind were initiated about a decade ago, we still lack empirical evidence on its effectiveness. Using the detailed dataset of the gap-funding program at MIT, the Deshpande Center for Technological Innovation, I observe two mechanisms that gap-funding program can facilitate academic commercialization. First, by providing research funding that allows academic freedom of problem selection and mode of disclosure, gap-funding program attracts applications from junior faculty members with commercialization interests. Second, providing research funding for prototype development and networking opportunities with industry practitioners increases the likelihood that an academic invention results in start-up founding. Moreover, its positive impact is larger for inventions without intellectual property rights protection, partly because of the reduced level of uncertainty after prototype development. However, awarding gap-funding does not increase the likelihood of technology licensing to incumbent firms. Together, I argue that gap-funding program can be a useful policy toolkit for regional economic development by fostering academic entrepreneurship.

Book Description
This contributed volume presents state-of-the-art advances in logistics theory in various fields as well as case studies. The book reports on a number of recently conducted studies in the Dinalog and the EffizienzCluster LogistikRuhr, thus bridging the gap between different perspectives of theoretical and applied research. A selection of theoretical topics, practical examples, case studies and project reports is presented in this volume. The editors carefully selected contributions from a wide variety of projects, which were carried out in both the Dinalog cluster and the Effizienzcluster LogistikRuhr. The contributions are grouped in five main sections, each representing key domains in the evolution of logistics and supply chain management: sustainability, urban logistics, value chain management, IT-based innovation, knowledge management. This book is intended for both researchers and practitioners in the field of logistics and supply chain management, to serve as an important source of information for further research as well as to stimulate further innovation.
