Innovation management

The path from a good idea to genuine innovation is often long and arduous. Certain conditions promote people's creative development better than others. In the context of industrial production, innovations often arise from systematic research and development work. Modern sensor technology and data processing also result in new creative impulses. The correct use of knowledge is crucial for sustainable development success, as not all past experiences can be repeated. The management of innovation processes faces diverse challenges depending on the initial and underlying conditions.

We research innovation management issues in our three main areas of focus:

  • Ideas, concepts, and strategies
  • Business models and processes
  • Management methods and tools
