This textbook, consisting of two volumes, brings innovation management
closer to the practices of new product development. To this purpose, it
presents concepts of innovation management, and processes, methods
and tools for product development, particularly aiming at engineers and
engineering students; it is also relevant to those in other studies, such as
business and management to better understand the actual conversion from
ideas and inventions into commercialization.
Volume II extends the basic concepts for innovation management
and new product development of the first volume. Its first chapter pays
attention to the role of intellectual property, particularly patents. Also,
the role of non-practicing entities, who have attracted attention through
court cases, but are said to be having an enormous impact on technological
development, is discussed. The second chapter in this volume concerns
national innovation systems, highlighting how government, industry, and
universities work together. The third chapter presents some contempo-
rary approaches to innovation management and product development:
lean product development, open innovation, living labs, crowdsourcing,
and sustainability. The fourth chapter offers a holistic view about how
innovation management can be embedded in companies; this builds on
the concepts of the previous chapters in both volumes of this book. The
second volume concludes with an epilogue highlighting the importance of
systems thinking for innovation management.
