Description
This essential research review brings together contributions by leading scholars in strategic management, which analyse contemporary thought in complex, knowledge-intensive and dynamic environments. This set of scholarly articles examines the unique challenges posed in these settings and explores the logic that may be used to evaluate innovative investment proposals. It also considers how to capture value from assets in product or knowledge markets, and how to design organizations to assemble resources in innovative settings.
Reviews / Votes
'The topics of technology strategy and innovation management are highly complex, often misunderstood, and frequently over-simplified. However, that is not because they are understudied. Precisely because these topics are so important, given their central role in competition, productivity, and economic growth, they have received a great deal of attention from management scholars, economists, sociologists, and other social scientists. Unfortunately, much of this research remains in academic journals, without context and meaning as an aggregate body of work. Professors Leiblein and Ziedonis have carefully articulated the key findings from this literature, organizing them around three general themes: creating, capturing, and delivering value, in a way that makes this important line of inquiry much more meaningful and accessible to practitioners and scholars alike. This is a timely and important book.'More details
