‘This is a very important book where the issue of networking for innovation process is dealt with from a management perspective. It provides an insight into the nature and various types of networks which are operational in Japanese corporates. The book begins by emphasising on some of the unique features of Japanese technology and innovation management practices. This is followed by an insight into the theoretical perspectives on R&D management and innovation. Technology management is then perceived in a network mode where external linkages are located in the network. This would be very useful for R&D management people, policymakers, and researchers in the management areas.’
– N. Mrinalini, Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research
‘Regardless of type of industry, you will learn from this well written book and its excellent examples, how to manage technology and innovation for more successful exploration of new technologies and evolving customer needs.’
– Jan Ekberg, Chairman or Boardmember of Eight Multinational Companies, including Pharmacia and Upjohn
Many companies today are unable to respond fast enough to market shifts because they have concentrated too much on making technology more specialized to their own needs, hoping that this will preserve their competitive edge. Unfortunately, this has actually left many R&D staff short of the cross-functional skills they need to enable large projects to work.
This innovative and original book, written by a leading management consultant, addresses these concerns and provides new insights into the theories and practices of innovation management.
