Abstract
The new avant‐garde of innovation in the field of gastronomy is moving from Haute Cuisine restaurants to laboratories, research centres, hubs or ecosystems fully dedicated to culinary innovation, where mixed and multidisciplinary teams of cooks and scientist work together. Such agents are leading an expansion of the field of influence of culinary innovation, connecting culinary knowledge with sectors such as agri‐food, hospitality, tourism, health or biotechnology. And, in turn, they seek to expand the frontiers of culinary innovation by exploring the connection of gastronomy with new digital technologies, promoting gastronomic entrepreneurship or developing policies to boost advanced gastronomic ecosystems around the world. The article analyses this process through the case study of the emergence of an innovation ecosystem in Gastronomytech in the Basque Country (Spain) led by the agents BCC Innovation, LABe Digital Gastronomy Lab and GOe Gastronomy Open Ecosystem, all three managed by Basque Culinary Center (an organization where training, innovation, research and entrepreneurship coexist with the aim of developing and promoting gastronomy). The study has implications for the management of culinary creativity and innovation, both for chefs and innovation teams at restaurants, as well as for policy‐makers who aim to promote innovative gastronomy in the future.
期刊介绍:
Creativity and Innovation Management bridges the gap between the theory and practice of organizing imagination and innovation. The journal''s central consideration is how to challenge and facilitate creative potential, and how then to embed this into results-oriented innovative business development. The creativity of individuals, coupled with structured and well-managed innovation projects, creates a sound base from which organizations may operate effectively within their inter-organizational and societal environment. Today, successful operations must go hand in hand with the ability to anticipate future opportunities. Therefore, a cultural focus and inspiring leadership are as crucial to an organization''s success as efficient structural arrangements and support facilities. This is reflected in the journal''s contents: -Leadership for creativity and innovation; the behavioural side of innovation management. -Organizational structures and processes to support creativity and innovation; interconnecting creative and innovative processes. -Creativity, motivation, work environment/creative climate and organizational behaviour, creative and innovative entrepreneurship. -Deliberate development of creative and innovative skills including the use of a variety of tools such as TRIZ or CPS. -Creative professions and personalities; creative products; the relationship between creativity and humour; arts and amp; humanities side of creativity.
