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.

Format:Paperback
Mark (the author) is a leading scholar in technological innovation and management for many years. It is a very good one with academic weight!
Format:Paperback
This book is a great statement on the state of the art in innovation management. It brings together an enormous amount of information on the subject from around the world (not just the USA!) and structures it in a very readable and accessible way. It has been extremely helpful to me in my job in a major management consultancy. It is full of useful frameworks and analytical tools developed by the authors. I note a couple of reviewers have complained that the book references the work of others. Well, that is standard academic practice guys (!), and the book is much stronger as a result. There are plenty of simple-minded books on this subject by people who claim to know it all. I prefer considered books by experts who choose and interpret the best work of others and place it in their own frameworks. The amazing endorsements of the book from business leaders and top academics shows the regard with which this book is held and the contribution it will make.
Format:Paperback
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.
