Managing Global Innovation 7. Collaborative Innovation

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. Chapter 7, Collaborative Innovation (30 pages), addresses the strategy of working with a local partner instead of creating a local presence. First, the authors discuss the differences in collaborating throughout each phase of the global project life cycle. In describing the identification phase, the authors identify factors to consider when choosing a partner. Next, they explain why a more closed approach is appropriate for the definition and delivery phases and discuss critical partnership issues. Last, he authors explore a fourth phase of the project life cycle which involves the distribution or diffusion of the innovation. Real-world examples include IMB, Boeing, and Intel.
