Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to analyze Volvo CE´s current innovation management strategy and compare it with the European Committee for Standardization´s (CENT/TS) standardized innovation management system. The study can be helpful for the organization to understand the gap between their current management system and the recommendations found in the CEN/TS innovation management system. A qualitative research methodology with a deductive approach combined with action research has been used to answer and fulfill the research question and purpose of this study. Our theoretical framework will int

Abstract:

Disruptive changes driven by sustainability, new technology and servitization challenge companies’ current products and business models. This increases the interest in radical innovations, and consequently the interest to capture radical ideas. At the same time, globalization increases the importance for digital tools in order to connect and communicate between different geographical locations. An idea management system (IMS) allows large, global companies to conduct idea management in a structured way throughout the entire company. This study aims to investigate and identify factors important

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, System Design and Management Program, February 2007.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 61-62).<br>Innovation has been long known to be difficult to accomplish in large companies that have well structured processes. Structured processes (such as the use of Six Sigma) can provide significant benefits in terms of efficiency and productivity. However, it can also hinder innovation in that it zones in on local, incremental solutions too quickly. This thesis explores different strategies corporations may take in incorporating innovat
