- 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. Appendix 2, Knowledge Is Increasingly Dispersed (7 pages), further explores the fourth key point of Appendix 1 with a description of the factors that drive companies beyond their home markets to find the information necessary for innovation. Pointing to several corporate examples, the authors consider the emergence of new global markets, an increased need for the incorporation of technologies outside of a company's specialization, and the trend of developed countries graduating fewer students in science, engineering, and technology than in lesser developed areas. the cal shift away from developed countries in the number of students who study science, engineering, and technology. They also consider the impact of external issues, especially environmental threats, regulations, and standards, and the repercussions of moving business centers outside of primary locations.
