The book: Innovationsförmåga

The book Innovationsförmåga, ‘Innovation Capability’ (currently only available in Swedish), is the culmination of a unique year long research project (IK2007). It offers visible and easily communicated results of a large research project which involved 27 companies and 26 senior researchers, and integrated the practitioner/researcher perspectives of innovation capability .

The study set out to address the following:

• * Organizational factors: the aim of the project was to identify organizational factors that affect the innovation capability of an organization;
• * Customer involvement: the aim of the project was to explore and understand in what ways, when and how customers are involved in innovation processes;
• * Process integration: the aim of the project was to explore and understand which organizational processes are integrated or involved in the innovation processes of organizations, and also between organizations;
• * Measurement of innovation capability: the aim of the project was to identify potential measures for the innovation capability of teams.

The book identifies the challenges experienced in innovation strategies (and processes, growth strategies, development strategies and processes, change management and assessments for innovation) and holds deployable recommendations for companies.

A pdf copy of Annika Olsson's launch presentation at the 2008 PIEp Annual Event is available here (in Swedish only).
