Inside the Innovation Matrix Chapter 6: New Tools to Map and Manage Innovation Networks (Research)
Oct 2008The competitive marketplace of the 21st century demands a new innovation strategy. The focus needs to shift from individuals to networks. Older models of innovation emphasised the role of the lone inventor and the subsequent process of proving the concept and eventually taking this to the marketplace. The revolution in managerial thinking away from traditional linear to non-linear innovation models has brought ‘social network analysis’ into the foreground. This powerful diagnostic tool means that rather than using intuition and guesswork to manage networks, executives and policy-makers can scientifically measure the effectiveness of their efforts to help foster innovation.
