Theme of the Seminar:
The term Innovation can be defined as something original and more effective
and, as a consequence, new, that breaks into the market or society. As long
as India has as many challenges as it does today, innovation will have an
important role to play. The need for Innovation to our country has to be
addressed at two levels. The first is at the level of an individual organization,
the second at the national level. As organizations in our country are facing
severe competition from foreign entities, there is a great need for innovation.
With foreign competitors looking at India as a large growth market, Indian
companies are finding it difficult to source complete technologies from
others. Even if available, they are often too expensive. And, with the growing
emphasis on intellectual property, the option of copying without paying is
fraught with negative consequences. Working under limited resources and
delivering value to meet raising customer expectations is quite a challenge.
At national level, it was only around 2009 that innovation entered the policy
lexicon when the government announced its intention to observe the next
decade as the Decade of Innovation it was essentially due to a realization that
given our resource endowments we could not hope to achieve our national
goals within a reasonable time by imitating the developed world. The desire
for innovation in India has also been driven by a search for low-cost
solutions to public problems.
The fields of Management of technology and innovation have become new
concerns along with knowledge management in the ongoing third wave
revolution of human civilization. Globalization and competition have moved
innovation to the center stage of management. Entrepreneurial management
is now considered as a norm; not an exception. As the fourth wave sets in
and civilization looks for outer space explorations and advancements,
innovation management will gain much more attention.
In keeping with recent trends in how organizations best become effective and
efficient in creating value - this seminar serve as a useful vehicle to build
relationships with leading researchers, academicians, practicing managers in
the field of innovation management through hosting insightful, high-quality
and lively interaction. This seminar also discusses various models
successfully practiced by leading organizations in achieving a non-liner
business growth through open innovation. Also are discussed enabler of
open innovation, catalysts, measurement parameters and other practices..
