Conference on Business Development and Co-Creation
Wonder how to make innovation management work? Find answers at the conference on Business Development and Co-Creation, 8 – 11 September 2013, HAN Campus in Nijmegen.
Audience and purpose
The conference is about successful innovation paths, business models, approaches and capabilities. It is of high interest for participants of research programs and for managers and consultants from all sectors of industry, involved in business development and co-creation, sustainability, innovation and quality management.
Develop innovations collaboratively
Innovation is for a majority of SME’s unusual business with many uncertainties. To create and develop new products, processes and business for a present or future market is day-to-day business for only a minority of entrepreneurs. Innovation is often their secondary concern because operational business issues claim the entrepreneurs’ full attention. Ideas often stay on the shelf due to lack of time, money, partners or knowledge.
Successful introduction of new ideas requires entrepreneurial capabilities and suitable operations and interventions with respect to many aspects: determining market, financial and technical feasibility is of course relevant, but the ability to develop innovations collaboratively in inter-organizational networks is essential.
Collaboration in networks enables companies to achieve the intended multiple targets to economize on processes and to achieve added value in their innovation efforts. Triggered by the current economic situation new ways of organizing are emerging e.g. to embed corporate responsibility. This will create new business models that are balancing among the different values.
Are you ready for it?
We are happy to invite you to meet new research experiences but above all to challenge international researchers for solutions for your innovation issues. Are you ready for it?
A core ambition in the research of the CINet community is to add value for companies and organizations in their quest for sustainable performance. Although there is an extensive amount of excellent innovation theory and best practices, implementation is still an issue. Therefore it is a real challenge to make the practical impact of research efforts of CINet members clearer and more visible.
Practitioners day
The ‘practitioners’ day on Wednesday 11 September 2013 will highlight this issue and offer different platforms to create ideas and find solutions, with practitioners and academics interactively working together to bridge the gap between theory and implementation. Share your expertise, open up for new ideas and get new insights!
