Abstract

In this paper, we explore how an educational programme can be designed to support managers in learning systematic innovation practices, contributing to the Innovation Management community. Using the community of practice (CoP) concept, we developed a programme to educate managers in systematic innovation practices, including systematic innovation work, innovation climate, and the creation of innovation teams. Our contribution builds on prior studies on the CoP construct. Using a case study with a mixed-methods design, we have explored the educational experiences of ten managers and the practical outcome of their organisations’ participation in the programme. Based on mixed data, we conclude that the educational programme “Management Education on Systematic Innovation Practices” (MEoSIP) supports managers’ understanding of systematic innovation practices in theory and in practice. It also contributes to practitioners who can support clients in improving innovation-related abilities. Agencies can develop training programmes using CoP for other educational purposes. Further research is proposed.

制定一项培训管理人员进行系统创新实践的计划:一个案例研究

在本文中，我们探讨了如何设计一个教育计划来支持管理者学习系统的创新实践，为创新管理社区做出贡献。利用实践社区（CoP）的概念，我们制定了一项计划，对管理者进行系统创新实践的教育，包括系统创新工作、创新氛围和创新团队的创建。我们的贡献建立在先前对CoP结构的研究之上。采用混合方法设计的案例研究，我们探讨了十位管理人员的教育经验以及他们所在组织参与该计划的实际结果。基于混合数据，我们得出结论，教育计划“系统创新实践管理教育”（MEoSIP）在理论和实践上支持管理者对系统创新实践的理解。它也有助于从业者支持客户提高创新相关能力。各机构可以利用扶贫委员会为其他教育目的制定培训计划。建议进一步研究。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Innovation (IJIM) is the official journal of the International Society of Professional Innovation Management (ISPIM). Both the IJIM and ISPIM adopt a multi-disciplinary approach to addressing the many challenges of managing innovation, rather than a narrow focus on a single aspect such as technology, R&D or new product development. Both are also international, inclusive & practical, and encourage active interaction between academics, managers and consultants.
