There is now widespread agreement that innovation holds the key to future economic and social prosperity in developed countries. But what kind of innovation is required and what is the best way to manage, steer and organize it? Grounded in the experiences of innovative firms and based on the most recent design theories, this book argues that instead of relying on traditional R&D and project management techniques, the strategic management of innovation must be based on innovative design activities. The authors analyse and explain a range of new management principles and techniques that firms can use to ensure continuous innovation. This book targets advanced courses in innovation management in industrial design schools, business schools, engineering schools, as well as managers looking to improve their practice.

<p>In this Element, emerging legal forms of purpose-driven corporations are analyzed, revealing two important insights. First, within the traditional corporate law, a purpose is neither protected nor enforceable over time. While companies can have goals beyond profit, these are controlled by shareholders, who also appoint corporate managers. To protect social or environmental ambitions, especially during shareholder changes, a legal commitment from the company is essential. Second, these new legal forms highlight the need to redefine the corporation's legal foundations. In an era when management decisions impact entire populations and the planet, the law inadequately conceptualizes the conditions necessary for responsible management. The Element argues that embedding a purpose in the constitution of corporations can provide these new legal foundations. Ultimately, the Element suggests that purpose provides a unified theoretical framework for understanding the variety of corporate legal forms and for discussing their respective potentials and limitations in holding corporations accountable in the face of upcoming transitions.</p>

J’espère que la vérité de mes livres est dans l’avenir.Michel FoucaultDans les sciences de l’organisation et de la gestion, ce livre est le premier à réunir les principaux travaux anglosaxons et francophones sur la pensée de Foucault. Face aux formes actuelles de la gestion des entreprises ou aux courants académiques, y compris les plus critiques, la discussion des concepts foucaldiens permet des prises de distance et des avancées nouvelles. Quatre thèmes sont ici privilégiés : Foucault, théoricien des organisations ?, les instruments de l’action collective, la question de l’autonomie et la gouvernementalité en action. En montrant que les dispositifs de gestion forgent non pas la « vérité », mais le « réel » des organisations, ce livre confirme l’importance insoupçonnée des modes de gestion ou de gouvernement pour l’histoire de la culture et de l’action collective modernes.

New Foundations of Management Research

Laufer, Romain

<p>"Organizational learning" is currently a subject of intense debate in the study of corporate dynamics. But how can such a concept be used effectively without a thorough understanding of the way in which organizations produce and distribute knowledge? An in-depth analysis of expert system projects afforded a choice opportunity for studying such questions. Drawing on four case studies, the authors identify and explore the dynamics of three basic types of expertise. They simultaneously reveal the crisis in expertise experienced by firms facing the demands of product variety and innovation. In such industrial contexts, organizational and managerial theories clearly have to include new approaches, presented here, which focus on the dynamics of expertise.</p>
