A practical handbook for accelerating innovation, both internally and externally, through engagement with innovation ecosystems. Leaders in large organizations face continuous pressure to innovate, and few possess all the internal resources needed to keep up with rapid advances in innovation, science, and technology. But looking beyond their own organizations, most face a bewildering landscape of external resources. In
Accelerating Innovation, these leaders--whether from the private, public, or nonprofit sectors--will find a practical guide to this external landscape. Authors Phil Budden and Fiona Murray provide directions for navigating innovation ecosystems--those hotspots worldwide where researchers, entrepreneurs, and investors congregate.
While Silicon Valley and Greater Boston are popularly known for web-based digital technology and biotechnology, respectively, the logic of innovation ecosystems is not solely American--so this guide takes in new locations and varied sectors such as Singapore (smart cities), Perth (mining), Cairo and Dubai (fintech), London and Lagos (fintech and media), Copenhagen (quantum computing), Rio de Janeiro (energy), Halifax (oceans), and Tel Aviv (cybersecurity). Drawing practical advice from a synthesis of works on tech, innovation, entrepreneurship, and strategic management, and from a decade of their own research and teaching at the intersection of these topics, Budden and Murray distill insights and interconnections from all these different worlds into a useful and globally applicable set of frameworks and models. Their approach provides leaders at every organizational level with a clear and workable roadmap for making the most of the unique resources of innovation ecosystems.
一本實用手冊，旨在通過與創新生態系統的互動，加速內部和外部的創新。
大型組織的領導者面臨持續的創新壓力，而擁有所有內部資源以跟上快速進步的創新、科學和技術的組織寥寥無幾。然而，當他們超越自身組織的視野時，大多數人面對的是一個令人困惑的外部資源景觀。在《加速創新》中，這些來自私營、公共或非營利部門的領導者將找到一個實用的外部景觀指南。作者Phil Budden和Fiona Murray提供了導航創新生態系統的指導——這些是全球研究人員、企業家和投資者聚集的熱點。
雖然矽谷和大波士頓分別以基於網路的數位技術和生物技術而聞名，但創新生態系統的邏輯並不僅限於美國，因此本指南涵蓋了新地點和多樣化的領域，如新加坡（智慧城市）、珀斯（礦業）、開羅和杜拜（金融科技）、倫敦和拉各斯（金融科技和媒體）、哥本哈根（量子計算）、里約熱內盧（能源）、哈利法克斯（海洋）和特拉維夫（網路安全）。Budden和Murray從技術、創新、企業家精神和戰略管理的綜合研究中提取實用建議，並結合他們十年來在這些主題交匯處的研究和教學，將來自這些不同世界的見解和相互聯繫提煉成一套有用且全球適用的框架和模型。他們的方法為每個組織層級的領導者提供了一個清晰且可行的路線圖，以充分利用創新生態系統的獨特資源。
