Product Description

Product Description
The Management of Technological Innovation (MTI) is one of the most important challenges facing businesses today. Innovation has become the fundamental driver of competitiveness for firms of all sizes in virtually all business sectors and nations. The first edition of this book has become one of the most popular texts for students of innovation and technology management. This new edition sees David Gann and Ammon Salter join Mark Dodgson as authors, drawing on their combined experience of 60 years of researching and teaching MTI. It combines the most relevant theoretical analysis with contemporary and historical empirical evidence to provide a comprehensive, yet concise and readable, guide to the challenges of MTI. By explaining the innovation process the book reveals the broad scope of MTI and its importance for company survival, growth and sustainability. It describes how MTI has to be managed strategically and how this is successfully achieved by formulating and implementing strategy and delivering value. Chapters provide frameworks, tools and techniques, and case studies on managing: innovation strategy, communities, and networks, R&D, design and new product and service development, operations and production, and commercialization. Based on robust analysis, the book provides a wide range of empirical evidence from a huge diversity of case studies, with around fifty case studies newly written for this edition. It analyses MTI in all parts of the world, in companies large and small, and in services, manufacturing, and resource-based business sectors. This new edition has been fully revised and updated to reflect the latest teaching and research, and to ensure its continuing relevance to the contemporary world of MTI. It will be an important resource for academics, students, and managers throughout the world, is a recommended text for students of innovation and technology management at postgraduate and undergraduate level, and is particularly valuable for MBA courses.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent teaching text, 22 April 2009
By Tim Kastelle - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have found this book to be an outstanding text to use in teaching postgraduate students. This book follows on from the authors' previous work, the outstanding 'Think, Play, Do'. The Management of Technical Innovation has several key strengths that make it particularly good for teaching. The first is that it distils state-of-the-art innovation research into a number of useful frameworks. The second is that it contains a wealth of case studies which effectively illustrate the theoretical issues. Finally, it has a nice introduction to my personal area of research, innovation networks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive overview of innovation management, 21 April 2009
By J. Steen - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a serious book on innovation management. If you are looking for simplistic frameworks and lightweight analysis then don't bother with it. The authors consider innovation from many perspectives and include management implications for both firms and policy makers. A strength of the book is the chapter linking innovation management to business strategy. Perhaps more uniquely, the book looks at how technology is changing the process of innovation with the need for changing managerial capabilities in this regard.

2.0 out of 5 stars Authorship by copy and paste, 9 April 2009
By Christin Rendalen - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is full of useful information taken from loads of studies done by others through the years. In fact nearly every other sentence seems to be a direct quote from some other book or study. Here is a typical example:
"Good design often develops over time, coming from open-ended and uncertain starting points (Simon 1962) in which the process is evolutionary and involves a range of disciplines (Vincenti 1990)". Two quotes in one sentence. And not particularly outstanding quotes either. Just normal sentences someone wrote in a book. It seems as though the authors of "The management of technological innovation" neither have the self confidence to write their own sentences, nor derive their own conclusions from the reference material they have been through. This makes the book very uninspiring and frankly hard to get through.
