ISBN: 1799839028
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 431
Book Description
Competitive strategies and higher education-industry collaboration policies are playing a vital role in fostering the reputation and international rankings of higher education institutions. The positive impact of these policies may best be observed in the economic and social outputs of many countries such as the USA, Singapore, South Korea, and European Union (EU) countries such as Belgium, Germany, France, and the Netherlands. However, the number of academic publications that specifically concentrate on the impact of these policies on higher education institutions and authorities remains relatively limited. University-Industry Collaboration Strategies in the Digital Era is an essential research publication that provides comprehensive research on competitive strategies for higher education institutions that will allow them to forge beneficial partnerships with industries that will have a significant impact on their success. Highlighting a wide range of topics such as human resource management, network planning, and institutional structure, this book is ideal for administrators, education professionals, academicians, researchers, policymakers, and students.

Success Factors of Inter-organizational Collaboration in New Product Development

Book Description
The development of new products and services requires two resources, knowledge, and technology - especially in the age of the New Economy. However, these two resources are not generic but differ depending on the company and industry. It is, therefore, attractive for companies to work together if not crucially, to bundle their resources and thus create even more innovative products - an even higher value. At the heart of this collaboration is the knowledge worker, a person, an employee, or a manager who possesses specific theoretical and practical knowledge. But how exactly does a knowledge worker influence the success of collaborations, and with what aim does he uses technology? This paper deals precisely with this topic. In order to find answers to these questions, the very first step is to develop the theoretical foundations of knowledge work and inter-organizational collaborations. Subsequently, specific success factors of such collaborations, which are strongly influenced by technology, are related to the skills of a knowledge worker. To this end, the influence of knowledge work and technology on the success of inter-organizational collaborations is identified utilizing a multiple-case study approach, conducted interviews, and qualitative content analysis. It turns out that the abilities of a knowledge worker and the abilities of a company to successfully collaborate with others correlate strongly. Thus, knowledge work(er) directly influences the success of such collaborations. Technology and in particular, the knowledge of interaction, function, and application considerably increases the efficiency and effectiveness of inter-organizational collaborations as well as knowledge work(er).

These new types of collaborations about creating value, rather than the tense standoffs of the past, are part of the way we will create actual solutions to society's challenges." Michael J. Porter, Bishop William Lawrence University Professor, Harvard Business School "Co-creating value is a powerful concept Jim Austin and May Seitanidi are sharing with us that will bring business and non-profit leaders to a new level of understanding and performance. This new book is the indispensable guidebook for leaders of the future." Frances Hesselbein, Founding President and CEO of the Frances Hesselbein Leadership Institute, Former CEO of the Girl Scouts of America, and Holder of Presidential Medal of Freedom "I love the book! While it focuses on "cross sector" collaboration, it should be read by every executive in the "for-profit" sector. Business is about how to collaborate with stakeholders to create value. This book tells you how to do it. Bravo!" R. Edward Freeman, University Professor and Olsson Professor The Darden School University of Virginia "Finally a book that demystifies what is probably the single most indispensable strategy for advancing social change: cross sector collaboration that creates genuine, measurable value for all. The book is an original and valuable resource for both the nonprofit and business sectors, providing a promising new roadmap that shows how to go beyond fighting for one's share of the pie, to collaboration that actually makes the pie grow." Billy Shore, Founder and CEO of Share Our Strength and Chairman of Community Wealth Ventures "Professors Austin and Seitanidi provide essential guidance for managers determining how to produce benefits for their organizations and high impact for society. This is an informed, thoughtful, and practical analysis." Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Ernest L. Arbuckle Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School and author of SuperCorp: How Vanguard Companies Create Innovation, Profits, Growth and Social Good
