Managing Global Innovation 1. The Innovation Challenge
by Keeley Wilson Yves L. DozManaging 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 1, The Innovation Challenge (20 pages), examines the challenges that companies face when trying to develop global innovation competencies. While the traditional model of innovation was formerly centered on a company's home market with new developments being sent to other markets, today's economy requires that innovation derive from global sources. The authors summarize the results of their joint survey with Booz & Company and highlight the necessary steps that companies must take to develop knowledge diversification and dispersion. The authors explain why Essilor and Tata Communications exemplify companies with successfully integrated innovation models.

The authors' detailed, practical guide for building and leveraging a global innovation network is based on extensive field research conducted worldwide. Chapter 2, The Optimized Footprint (30 pages), provides a framework for how a company can create an agile and flexible innovation footprint. First, the authors explore the traditional brick-and-mortar model and the inherent difficulties of relying on physical location. The authors posit that a company's "innovation footprint" should maximize speed and efficiency by balancing location with alternative approaches. They examine three alternative approaches: experiencing in a specific location, foraying via short-term knowledge gathering, and attracting the critical knowledge. The authors define different types of knowledge and explore which alternative approach is best suited to each knowledge type. The chapter includes a real-world corporate examples, including HP Labs India, SNECMA, and Nokia.
Managing Global Innovation 3. How a Site Creates Value and Why the Size of the Network Matters

In Chapter 3, How a Site Creates Value and Why the Size of the Network Matters (35 pages), the authors discuss the challenge of creating an optimized innovation footprint where a company maintains individual sites that add value to the innovation process but do not exceed their own operational costs. The authors present a model for evaluating individual sites based on the type of value the sites create: substitution, complementarity, or discovery.. Real-world examples of various types include GE in India, Novartis, and Fuji Xerox. The authors then explore how to determine the optimal footprint size based on company and knowledge factors, including strategic direction, organizational capability, and corporate culture.

Managing Global Supply Chains: Contemporary Global Challenges in Supply Chain Management
by Ron BasuWhat are the key factors affecting global supply chains today and how can we manage them? Starting from the concept that 'there is no point driving a Ferrari in a traffic jam', Ron Basu provides practical tools and techniques of good supply chain management to add value, deliver cost reduction and improve customer satisfaction. This new edition specifically focuses on seven contemporary challenges that have affected global supply chain management. Recent disruptions to global supply chains created by COVID-19 and the Ukraine conflict have resulted in significant geographical shifts in supply and demand. High inflation and the cost of living crisis have, in turn, created problems for finely-tuned global supply chains. The economic and business environment has also become more demanding, due in part to political pressures including nationalism and Brexit: for example, supply chain pressures caused by Brexit have resulted in increased red tape. Other factors have had a gradual and positive effect, such as climate change initiatives, Industry 4.0 and the digital revolution. The issues that affect the performance of global supply chains are sometimes interrelated, but all of them really matter because businesses have become increasingly global. This book addresses these challenges and explores how to deal with them. In addition, there are new and updated chapters on lean and agile supply chains, e-business, emerging markets, sustainability and green issues, global supply chains for services and event management, retail management and major project management. Managing Global Supply Chains is a practical and highly readable text with real-life examples and excellent coverage. It is an ideal companion for post-experience business students, learning professionals and anyone interested in supply chain management.

Managing Government Employees: How to Motivate Your People, Deal with Difficult Issues, and Achieve Tangible Results
by Stewart LiffManaging government employees presents unique challenges. Government managers may feel that stringent and convoluted regulations mean they "can't do that". Some others may use that perception as a crutch. But the truth for all of them is, yes, they can "do that" -- and they'd better. "That" means managing employees as proactively and decisively as their corporate counterparts, and holding their staffs, teams, and departments accountable for productivity and results. Managing Government Employees offers dozens of techniques for meeting the challenges and stressful situations supervisers face on a daily basis. Major topics include how to: * get maximum dedication and productivity from employees * improve results of poor performers and discipline or fire them when necessary * deal with union and EEO issues * cut through the red tape of government employment systems For managers frustrated by government bureaucracy, this book lets them know they have more power than they may think.
Managing Green Teams: Environmental Change in Organisations and Networks
by Peter Strachan John MoxenTo reach environmental excellence, organizations must unlock and channel the ideas and energies of their staff. This can only be achieved through the effective leadership and commitment of senior managers and the development of sound teamworking throughout the organization. To this end, forward-looking organizations have formulated a range of teams, including: environmental steering committees; environmental action teams; process improvement teams; and quality and environment circles. The aims of this book are to bring together practical experiences and theoretical developments in relation to the role of teamworking within the context of environmental management. Contributions from an international group of leading practitioners and academics present examples of how teamworking can be utilised to solve the complex and uncertain environmental challenges that organisations face. The book is divided into three key sections. The first section examines – in a number of different organizational contexts – the problems that confront managers during the process of forming and developing environmental teams. In the second section, the book examines how environmental teams can trigger changes in core operations and integrate environmental concerns in business decision-making at every level in the organization. In the final section, the focus of the book shifts to environmental networks and their role as inter-organizational co-ordinators. Managing Green Teams: Environmental Change in Organisations and Networks will be of particular interest to educationalists, consultants and practitioners. Teamworking is a well-established field, but, to date, no book has made any attempt to fully integrate teamworking and environmental issues.

Managing Growth in Miniature: Solow's Model as an Artifact (Historical Perspectives on Modern Economics)
by Verena HalsmayerManaging Growth in Miniature explores the history of the way economists think about growth. It focuses on the period between the 1930s and 1960s, tracing the development of the famed 'Solow growth model,' one of the central mathematical models in postwar economics. It argues that models are not simply 'efficient tools' providing answers to the problems of economic theory and governance. The Solow model's various uses and interpretations related not only to the ways it made things (in)visible, excluded questions, and suggested actions. Its 'success' and effects ultimately also pertained to its fundamental ambiguities. Attending to the concrete sides of economic abstractions, this book provides a richly layered and accessible account of the forms of knowledge that shaped the predominant notion of 'economic growth' and ideas of how to govern it.
