Original
ideas start in a person´s mind, but the environment where they operate
is crucial for the capture and development of these ideas. Equally
important is the interaction with others in developing and evaluating
ideas, as a brilliant idea only influences the world if it is put into
use.
This book hopes to inspire the team leader,
innovation manager or research group leader. It deals with the delicate
balance of managing and controlling intellectual property in a
collaborative environment. Insights on how new inventions can be
evaluated are offered. Following the whole cycle of innovation from a
creative idea to where a product or service can be put on the market,
examples illustrate how an innovative environment can be created and
maintained. Strategies and solutions based on the science of team
development are presented and leadership models for the different phases
of group development are provided.
The book will be
of interest to researchers, academics, product developers,
entrepreneurs, and advanced students in the fields of technology and
innovation management and entrepreneurship and small business management
but also for leadership.
