Sustainable Innovation : Strategy, Process and Impact
The most important theme of the discourse on sustainable development and sustainability challenges concerns the relationship between innovation and sustainability. This book represents a realistic critical overview of the state of affairs of sustainable innovations offering an accessible and comprehensive diagnostic point of reference for both the academic and practitioner worlds. In order for sustainable innovation to truly become mainstream practice in business it is necessary to find out how organizations can strategically and efficiently accommodate sustainability and innovation in such a manner that they accomplish value capturing (for firms stakeholders and for society) not merely creating a return on the social responsibility agenda. Addressing this challenge the book draws together research from a range of perspectives in order to understand the potential shifts and barriers benefits and outcomes from all angles: inception strategic process and impact for companies and society. The book also delivers insights of (open) innovation in public sector organizations which is not so much a process of invention as it is one of adoption and diffusion. It examines how the environmental pillar of the triple bottom line in private firms is often a by-product of thinking about the economic pillar where cost reductions may be achieved through process innovation in terms of eliminating waste and reducing energy consumption. The impact of open innovation on process innovation and sustainable process innovation in particular is an underexplored area but is examined in this book. It also considers the role of the individual entrepreneur in bringing about sustainable innovation; entrepreneurs their small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as the innovation ecosystems they build play a significant role in generating sustainable innovations where these smaller organizations are much more flexible than large organizations in targeting societal needs and challenges. The readership will incorporate PhD students and postgraduate researchers as well as practitioners from organizational advisory fields. | Sustainable Innovation Strategy Process and Impact
