Strategic Innovation Management [Paperback]

Innovative organizations grow twice as fast, both in employment and sales, as those that fail to innovate. The social benefits of innovation are even greater.

This first edition of Strategic Innovation Management is an exciting new addition to the established bestselling texts Managing Innovation and Innovation and Entrepreneurship written by Joe Tidd and John Bessant. Aimed at students taking courses in business studies and management, as well as non-specialist courses in other disciplines, this book provides a practical and accessible evidence-based approach to managing innovation in a wide range of contexts, including: manufacturing, services, small to large organizations and the private, public and third sectors.

The text has been designed to be fully integrated with the Innovation Portal at https://www.johnbessant.org/the-innovation-portal/, which contains an extensive collection of additional resources for both lecturers and students including teaching resources, case studies, media clips, innovation tools, seminar and assessment activities and over 300 test-bank questions.
