Part I: Theme 01 - Innovation in Contexts
Chapter 1: Innovation in Developing Countries: The world's poorest communities Developing nations in the world are no longer the recipients of innovative products and services but instead creators (e.g. frugal innovation). The changing landscape of innovation in developing countries while overcoming issues such as lack of solid technologies, shoestring budgets and low customer disposable income are discussed.
Chapter 2: Innovation in the Developed countries: Success (abundant innovation) and sad (lack of innovation) Recently, China overtook the EU with R&D expenditure equivalent to 2.1% of the GDP and thus, Europe and the USA are no longer the leaders in technological innovation performance. The European Union reports a declining innovation performance in the region especially in countries such as Greece, Belgium, Ireland and the Netherlands. The often-considered economic powerhouse in the region was Germany and currently, its overall innovation performance is also declining. These novel trends underpinning innovation in the developed world are addressed.
Part II: Theme 02 - Determinants of Innovation Chapter 3: Innovation Leadership in a transforming workplace innovation context
Topics include the way in which leadership roles, qualities, personalities and behaviours accommodate the continuously evolving workplace innovation context based on demographic trends, changing attitudes towards work, and greater tural diversity are covered.
Chapter 4: Brilliant and Eccentric Men and Women: Oddballs of Innovation or Madness? People who go beyond the norm and embrace their quirks endearingly and enthusiastically have shown to change the world.
