Book Description

'Encouraging Innovation: Cognition, Education, and Implementation' is of interest to people who desire to become more innovative in their daily lives and careers. Part I discusses the cognitive and social skills required for innovation – reasoning, problem solving, creativity, group decision making, and collaborative problem solving. The second part discusses education – the development of cognitive skills and talent, application of relevant learning theories, methods and curricula for enhancing creativity, creativity across disciplines, and design education. Part III discusses the implementation of these skills in society – the transition from theory to practice, business innovation, social innovation, and organizational support. Whereas business innovation is related to commercialization, market demands, and profitability, social innovation addresses fulfilling social needs and public demands. Organizational support for innovation occurs at international, national, agency, and regional levels.

Book Description

Since the pioneering work scholars such as Joseph Schumpeter and Peter Drucker, the fields of innovation and entrepreneurship have evolved to become two separate and distinct disciplines. Schumpeter 1 focused on the contributions of entrepreneurial startups and smaller firms, whereas Schumpeter 2 emphasized the role of formal research, development and industrial innovation in larger firms. Unfortunately, the study and practice of each field has suffered as a result: entrepreneurship has become preoccupied with individual entrepreneurs and small business creation, and innovation is dominated by corporate R&D and new product development.Promoting Innovation in New Ventures and Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) aims to bridge these two fields by examining innovation in new ventures and SMEs. This book identifies themes which can reunite the study and practice of entrepreneurship and innovation by examining a potentially bridging phenomenon. The focus here is on high growth, innovative SMEs, and the interactions between SMEs and larger organizations, private and public. It is organized around three overlapping themes: SME innovation performance, practices and networks.
