Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - 10 Rules for managing global innovation

Notes: Sumario: More and more companies recognize that their dispersed, global operations are a treasure trove of ideas and capabilities for innovation. But its proving harder than expected to unearth those ideas or exploit those capabilities. Part of the problem is that companies manage global innovation the same way they manage traditional, single-location projects. Single-location projects draw on a large reservoir of tacit knowledge, shared context, and trust that global projects lack. The management challenge, therefore, is to replicate the positive aspects of colocation while harnessing the opportunities of dispersion. In this article, Inseads Wilson and Doz draw on research into global strategy and innovation to present a set of guidelines for setting up and managing global innovation. They explore in detail the challenges that make global projects inherently different and show how these can be overcome by applying superior project management skills across teams, fostering a strong collaborative culture, and using a robust array of communications tools.Related records: En: Harvard business review. - Boston : Impact Media Comercial S.A., 1988-. - 08/10/2012 Tomo 90 Número 10 - octubre 2012 , p. 85-90Materia / lugar / evento: Empresas Innovación empresarial Estrategia empresarial Investigación y desarrollo Gestión de proyectos Gestión de empresas Otros autores: Doz, Yves L.
