It exists in different formats and at different phases of life-cycle of a product at the micro level in an organization or in the society at the macro level. Human resources play the most significant role for successful innovation apart from systems, strategy and infrastructure. In every format of innovation efforts, success is less probable than failure. One major reason of the failure is poor perception about realistic and pervasive meaning of innovation at the level of promoters of an organization. One less emphasized or prioritized area in the chain of innovation studies is the identification, nurturing and monitoring of human factor. Scope exists for experimentation on their identification, empowerment, motivation and impact of social factors like racial identity, physiological features, gender, age, homogeneity in society vs. heterogeneity, migration and above all education system. CEO of the organization should ensure that interpersonal relationship and work-culture in employment space are stimulating to the extent that wheels of innovation are cohesively linked together. Multi-cultural societies in United States, Canada, Australia with a lot of inflow of migrants may be ideal test-beds for experiments on the chemistry of success and failures of applied innovations.","PeriodicalId":224073,"journal":{"name":"ERPN: Organization (Sub-Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130830115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This Essay suggests that these three indicia are simultaneously determined and discusses the interaction among them through four examples of innovative activity whose location is characterized by tradeoffs between pursuing the activity in an established company; in a smaller, earlier stage company; or some combination of the two. It first considers the dilemma faced by an established company in deciding whether to keep an employee’s innovation or allow the employee to pursue the innovation through a startup. It next takes up a very different relationship between an established company and an earlier stage company: the development by the smaller company of a “disruptive” innovation that displaces the industry’s dominant companies. The Essay then considers an established company’s instrumental use of the startup market to outsource development of a particular innovation to a technology race. Finally, the Essay examines a form of innovation located between an established and earlier stage company: the pattern of joint ventures between large pharmaceutical companies and smaller biotechnology companies.","PeriodicalId":224073,"journal":{"name":"ERPN: Organization (Sub-Topic)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127931814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gupta","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.1435216","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1435216","url":null,"abstract":"The human resource outsourcing (HRO) industry in India is at a crucial juncture in its short history. Organizations are increasingly taking up HRO as an opportunity to streamline processes, reduce costs, get access to the latest technology and tools, consistently achieve better quality, and align human resources with the overall business as quickly as possible. On the other hand, providers are seeking to optimize the quality of services to their clients at a cost that still allows for a profit. Reshaping the business model in a way that benefits both buyers and suppliers is critical to the survival of the industry. Most executives view outsourcing merely as a source of cost reducing. The greatest savings are expected to come from lower labor cost and reduced project timelines. However, outsourcing also creates new challenges and expenses for the organization involved. Those may include vendor selection costs, legal costs, costs of transition and many others. That is why despite the evidence of possible major up-front cost savings many outsourcing vendors have yet to prove that they are able to provide positive ROI in a complex project. The study analyzes the different criteria for outsourcing, highlighting dimensions other than simply cost reduction. Outsourcing is rapidly changing the shape of the modern industry. It is important for companies not to underestimate the speed of this process and seize the opportunities and benefits it offers. This study also analyses the driving factors that encourage companies to make a decision to outsource its human resource function.","PeriodicalId":224073,"journal":{"name":"ERPN: Organization (Sub-Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130613502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sofka","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.1298957","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1298957","url":null,"abstract":"Innovation success depends heavily on firm's ability to set priorities and select the most promising options from its project portfolio before the odds of success or failure become visible and reliable. We ask: What does previous innovation experience tell firms about what not to do in the future? With this in mind, we focus on projects that did not materialise or were abandoned - an important building block for choosing and implementing the 'right' projects. We suggest two major learning mechanisms. On the one hand, real options theory suggests a process based on financial data. On the other hand, research on absorptive capacities finds that previous innovation experience translates into superior ability to value, extract and exploit external knowledge. We test both hypotheses on an empirical basis for more than 600 German firms, covering innovation activities in the period 1997 to 2005. Our results indicate congruence between firms' innovation experience and their project selection patterns. Extensive R&D experience materialises as a stock of knowledge that enables firms to judge projects based on knowledge criteria. Non-R&D innovation experience, stemming from producing and introducing products to markets, resonates as decision-making based on economic factors in the future. Both types of innovation experience appear to generate distinct decision-making capabilities inside the firm which are subsequently exploited in selecting projects for the future.","PeriodicalId":224073,"journal":{"name":"ERPN: Organization (Sub-Topic)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127971162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
