摘要:

INNOVATION REPRESENTS both opportunity and risk. The challenge is to build an organizational environment that, on the one hand, stimulates creativity and, on the other, offers boundaries and guides development. Conflicts are inevitable, so Adams analyzes five factors in this balancing act – increased awareness of process; ideas; availability of resources; reward systems and organizational understanding – that are essential to a successful innovation strat

摘要:

AMERICAN MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS develops sophisticated computer systems to solve complex management problems. Its innovations are creating products that help client organizations “transcend the present.” CEO Charles Rossotti discusses the interdisciplinary team approach that makes this possible, how goals are defined and shared in his own organization, and the “design first” process that offers designers and clients an early opportunity to better understand needs and the innovative products that might satisfy those requi

摘要:

AT THE WASHINGTON POST, computer graphics had been around for a while. And certainly, many of the unionized artists, typographers and compositors had enjoyed an even longer tenure at the paper. But when the technology and human talents were creatively brought together in the new Advertising Operations department, the result was an innovative approach to producing ads that improved quality, lifted morale, created more responsive relationships with customers and held the promise of making significant contributions to the company's bottom line.

摘要:

HOW A COMPANY understands and organizes design activities can have a profound impact on innovation. To conceptualize this notion, four models are defined, each of which describes how firms address the issues of form, function and fit. One of these – Cooperative Design – holds special promise for innovation because it engages managers as valuable “silent designers” responsible for integrating the many components that comprise a successful development

摘要:

AS HENDERSON DEFINES it, architectural knowledge is the critical ability to integrate information from various sources during the product development process. In this context, if an organization allows architectural knowledge to become one unarticulated aspect of its culture, innovation suffers as traditions stifle new insights. Alternatively, if architectural knowledge is explicitly recognized and well managed, it becomes a catalyst for innovation and a formidable competitive weapon.

摘要:

WHETHER AS AN individual or a part of a team, innovation is dependent on creativity. Yet, while we are constantly encouraged to adopt whatever is endorsed as “latest and best,” we seldom hear the people stories behind these innovations. It is this fascinating personal dimension that RitaSue Siegel brings out in these five “innovation” profiles. They get behind the scenes in objects that range from a VCR control to compute

摘要:

THE DESIGN LOOKS great or the list of features is impressive. But, for some reason, it just does not work. Too often the role of users is undervalued in innovation or certain users are ignored while others are overemphasized. Hustad explores how a marketing perspective can help remedy these problems. He suggests how organizations can integrate this approach as part of their development process and proposes specific techniques that help improve marketing results.
