Book Description
Il est devenu banal de dire que l'innovation est au coeur de la stratégie des entreprises. Mais les implications d'une telle assertion sont nombreuses. Comment crée-t-on de nouvelles technologies ? Comment peut-on les transformer en avantages concurrentiels ? Qu'appelle-t-on une innovation stratégique ? Peut-on seulement gérer l'innovation ?... Les questions posées par ce caractère central de l'innovation sont nombreuses. Cet ouvrage n'aura pas la prétention d'y proposer des réponses définitives tant le savoir dans ce domaine, comme dans d'autres, évolue perpétuellement, proposant de nouvelles réponses, enrichissant ou rejetant les anciennes. Il vise, plus modestement, à dresser un état de l'art des connaissances en matière de management de l'innovation quelle qu'en soit la nature (technologique, organisationnelle, stratégique).

Book Description
The management of technological innovation is both an art, as well as a science; the process involves the know-how and technological core skills to deliver the functionality on the one hand, and (with an ear on the ground) the ability to identify changes in technologies to come up with new innovations on the other. This requires, as a result, frameworks, system tools, and methodologies to improve the yield in innovations.Managing Technological Innovation provides a set of tools and case studies for R&D managers to effectively manage technological innovations — from the identifying of technological needs to the launch of the product. The book is divided into five parts. Part 1 addresses the policies and strategies necessary to provide direction to R&D organizations in the management of technological innovation. Part 2 focuses on technological assessment; presenting the methods available to better matching of technologies to strategic directions, supported with case studies to illustrate the evaluation methods. Part 3 covers the development and building of technological portfolios with new products, as well as mitigation strategies. Part 4 focus on the execution phase of built portfolios — the development of new products. And finally, Part 5 rounds up with a study on the factors which impact the diffusion of technological innovations into the market place.This book is a practical guide for R&D professions and designers, as well as a case study reference for graduate students in pursuit of their project work.
