- Synopsis
- Managing Global Innovation is an 8-chapter book written by Yves L. Doz and Keeley Wilson of INSEAD and published in 2012 by Harvard Business Review Press. In today's global economy, existing knowledge is the catalyst for innovation, but gathering and using this knowledge depends on global factors which can create barriers to access. The authors provide a practical framework for the successful management of knowledge and innovation by optimizing the "innovation footprint," a framework designed to improve communication and receptivity and facilitate collaboration. The book is divided into four parts that address both theory and practice at each stage of the framework as well as the inherent challenges to innovation. The authors' detailed, practical guide for building and leveraging a global innovation network is based on extensive field research conducted worldwide. In Chapter 6, Organizing for Global Innovation Projects (31 pages), the authors present a three-stage process of identification, definition, and delivery to manage successful global innovation as well as the requirements for embarking on such an effort. Innovation prerequisites include corporate stability, trust between all teams, a shared context, a plan for personal interactions, and adequate planning time. The authors examine each stage of the global project life cycle and a guideline for managing each in table form. The chapter includes several examples of corporate projects as well as a decision tree for structuring and managing global projects.
