Samenvatting:

Innovation is widely recognized as a major source of modern productivity growth. Indeed, it is seen as constituting a central process of economic advancement in industrialized countries. Despite this, a considerable gap still exists in knowledge and technological capability between industrialized countries and the more dynamic developing countries such as China. Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are a major contributor to China's economy and SME's contribution to China's GDP is close to 60%.br/br/This book studies the strategy and mechanism of leveraging innovation capability in China's SMEs by applying the theory of Total Innovation Management (TIM), which is the new paradigm of managing innovation in enterprises developed by the Research Center for “Innovation and Development” (shortly RCID) of Zhejiang University, China. According to Eric von Hippel, MIT, RCID is the Top 10 Innovation Management research institutes in the world.br/br/Leverage Innovation Capability probes the strategy and mechanism of leverage the innovation capability in the firm, especially in China's SMEs. It analyzes how the SMEs utilize all the innovation elements in the firm, including Strategy innovation, Tech innovation, marketing innovation, organization innovation, culture innovation, innovation networking, learning and knowledge management, high involvement innovation, cooperation innovation, etc. to leverage innovation capability.br/br/boldErrata(s)/boldbr/Errata (47KB)boldContents:/boldbulletlistbulletboldTheoretical Research on Innovation:/boldbulletlistbulletDevelopment via Innovative Firms/bulletbulletStatus of SMEs' Innovation/bulletbulletAuditing Innovation Capabilities in SMEs/bulletbulletTheoretical Background and Research Design/bulletbulletFramework of Total Innovation Management for SMEs/bulletbulletMechanism of Leveraging Innovation Capability via Vision and Strategy/bulletbulletMechanism of Leveraging Innovation Capability via Technology Innovation and Its Management/bulletbulletMechanism of Leveraging SME's Innovation Capability via Organization Innovation/bulletbulletMechanism of Leveraging Innovation Capability via Market Orientation and Related Elements/bulletbulletMechanism of Leveraging Innovation Capability via Corporate Culture and All-Involvement Innovation/bulletbulletMechanism of Leveraging Innovation Capability via Entrepreneurs in SMEs/bulletbulletMechanism of Leveraging Innovation Capability via Networks and All Time-Space Innovation/bulletbulletPathway of Building SME Innovation Capability through Cluster Innovation Systems/bulletbulletInnovation Policy for SMEs in China/bullet/bulletlist/bulletbulletboldCase Studies:/boldbulletlistbulletSunyard System Engineering Co., Ltd.
