Abstract

What is innovation and what does it take to make it work? How can innovation management and governance help to create and capture new value towards a sustainable future? This reader contains several "op-eds" (op-ed = short for "opposite the editorial page") on innovation management and urban sustainability matters written between 2012 and 2021 for Singapore-based print media aimed at providing interested readers with deeper insights into key enablers of effective innovation governance at corporate levels. The bite-sized commentaries on innovation matters are loosely structured with regards to Leadership & Strategy, People & Organisational Culture, Innovation Processes, Knowledge & Learning as well as Innovation Governance. Besides three case studies of innovation award winners (Singapore Airlines; National Library Board Singapore; Qian Hu Corporation Ltd.), the book also entails reflections about the "smart city" strategies of Singapore, Berlin (Germany) and Barcelona (Spain) aimed at enhancing sustainability and liveability. This resource book is essential reading for anyone interested in acquiring innovation management and governance know how — from graduate students and advanced undergraduates to innovation practitioners in business and society as well as start-up founders and municipal leaders.
