Strategic Management and Innovation Strategies
This book uses case studies to analyze how companies have implemented business strategies to adapt from analogue to digital, from hardware-based to software-based, and from incremental to radical innovation, in the new-generation competition. Through this analysis, the distinctive features and challenges of these companies are examined from the perspective of innovation strategy, focusing on dynamic capabilities of the companies. A major objective of this monograph is to identify the key determinants that make up the dynamic capabilities of the companies in international competitive marketplaces. In other words, the analytical focus is on clarifying the consistency and differences between th...

Advantage
"Thoughtful . . . . [Segal's] striking argument is that the challengers [India and China] lack America's resilient, open and risk-taking culture." —Economist The emergence of India and China as economic powers has shifted the global landscape and called into question the ability of the United States to compete. Advantage sorts out the challenges the United States faces and focuses on what drives innovation, what constrains it, and what strengths we have to leverage. Entirely recasting the stakes of the debate, Adam Segal makes the compelling case for the crucial role of the “software” of innovation. By bolstering its politics, social relations, and institutions that move ideas from the lab to the marketplace, the United States can preserve its position as a global power. With up-to-the minute economic and political data, this is a resounding call to tie innovation to larger social goals in an age of global science and technology.

The Innovation Imperative
The Innovation Imperative: Strategies for Managing Product Models and Families by Susan Sanderson and Mustafa Uzumeri traces the new competitive challenges to the patterns appearing in product variety and change. The authors successfully illustrate these patterns through a series of case studies that help to classify and explain the growing competitive challenge of "dynamic competition." Manufacturers are being forced to respond to new and different competitive challenges. The Innovation Imperative will make you aware of the patterns in global competition and inspire you to create new strategies and management styles.
