ER - TY - JOUR T1 - How to Digitally Enhance Bioeconomy Collaboration: Multidisciplinary Research Team Ideation for Technology Innovation JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2020 A1 - Essi Ryymin A1 - Laura Lamberg A1 - Annukka Pakarinen KW - digitally enhanced teamwork KW - ideation KW - Multidisciplinarity KW - sustainability KW - technological innovation AB - In this paper we examine the potential of digital platforms for managing multidisciplinary collaboration and particularly the ideation processes of multidisciplinary research and development in the case of technology-supported vertical farming. The article draws on research data from semi-structured interviews and a collaborative workshop that was conducted with researchers representing biological, digital, and technological domains. The results of this research indicate that digital platforms may offer impactful, process-accelerating support during the kick-off phase of multidisciplinary technological innovations. A digital platform can support ideation and the prioritisation of ideas and can be especially fruitful when paired with face to face discussion and non-digital interaction.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Project Portfolio Management in the Front-End of Innovation of Research Centers: a Literature Review JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2020 A1 - Rui Nuno Castro A1 - João José Pinto Ferreira KW - front-end KW - ideation KW - innovation KW - not-for-profit KW - Project Portfolio Management KW - research center AB - The beginning of an innovation process, also known as “front-end of innovation” (FEI), counts as an essential contributor to the successful development of new products and for their market appeal. Nevertheless, while helpful procedures and techniques for developing new products are well-known and widely applied, FEI is still an understudied area, and models for managing it are not yet commonly used in technology-oriented companies. FEI, also known as "fuzzy front end", can even be "fuzzier" in not-for-profit research centers. That is because the focus of these centers is advancing of scientific knowledge, rather than commercializing the results of those activities. This study summarizes the insights from a literature review on the topic of “project portfolio management” (PPM) in relation to innovation and, more specifically, with FEI and its components of ideation, innovation management, innovation strategy, foresight, and incremental or radical innovation. The authors selected and reviewed content from 170 papers published in SCOPUS prior to February 2019. The discussion uses a theoretical framework called "Front-End of Innovation Integrative Ontology (FEI2O)" to assist in framing the discussion.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Introduction to the Special Issue on Creativity in Innovation JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2015 A1 - Patrick Cohendet A1 - Laurent Simon KW - creativity KW - ideas KW - ideation KW - innovation KW - management AB - Managing creativity for innovation is a key challenge in today’s economy; therefore, the management of ideas will play in increasing role in driving the growth and resilience of organizations. Rather than simple inspired insights, ideas have to be addressed as complex socio-cognitive processes, to be organized and managed. To benefit from the full value of new ideas, management must constantly balance the formal and the informal, the logic of creation and the logic of production, and must learn to couple idea-generation processes and innovation processes through renewed knowledge management practices. In this introduction to the Technology Innovation Management Review's special issue on Creativity in Innovation, the guest editors highlight the need to manage: i) ideation processes to foster creativity, ii) the tension that exists between the logic of creation and production; and iii) disruptive innovation to transform a traditional industry.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - The Organization of Living Labs: Coordinating Activities for Regional Innovation JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2015 A1 - Bernhard R. Katzy A1 - Claudia Bücker KW - activities KW - co-creation KW - ideation KW - innovation systems KW - living labs KW - processes KW - venturing AB - This article contributes to the ongoing knowledge from the first decade of operating living labs with a study on the coordination of novel innovation activities in living labs. The article provides an organizational model for living labs to order the activities that eventually will allow the conceptualization of living labs as innovation systems, thus giving user involvement a more central role in innovation process theories. This article shows how innovation networks systematically align their activities to reliably achieve their objectives. Next to this interpretivist theoretical contribution, the article contributes relevant practical insights to technology innovation management practitioners based on in-depth living lab cases that exhibit interesting, relevant, and new activities.
