Discontinuous Innovation: Learning to Manage the Unexpected : Imperial College Press : 9781848167803 : 1848167806 : 08 Sep 2013 : This book is based on the findings, issues and questions related to an ongoing decade-old research project named The Discontinuous Innovation Lab (DI-Lab). The research project focuses on discontinuous innovation in more than thirteen countries, most of which are European, and provides useful insights into its different challenges. It also raises several questions related to the subject, some of which are: How do firms pick up weak signals on emerging ? and possibly radically different ? innovation? What should firms do when these weak signals hit their ?mainstream? process? What are the criteria for allocating resources to a strategic innovation project? What actions should firms take to avoid being left out by the ?corporate immune system?? How should firms organize projects that often break existing rules and require new rules to be created?
