If not, what can we learn from the differences? This book attempts to answer these important questions through a series of original cases concerning a variety of companies, from large multinationals to small social enterprises. The cases arise from the Asian Strategy Project, an initiative conceived by ESSEC Business School and supported by Capgemini Consulting. As part of this unique programme, students were embedded in a company in an Asian emerging market and given the opportunity to develop their understanding of an innovative business model by working on real strategic issues that the company faced. This book gathers a representative selection of the resulting cases, creating a repository of knowledge for business students, teachers and professionals who wish to learn more about innovative business models in Asia. 328pp 978-981-4689-14-4 Jun 2015 US$58 £38 Series on Technology Management - Vol 25 SMALL FIRMS AS INNOVATORS From Innovation to Sustainable Growth by Helena Forsman (University of Tampere, Finland) @ May 2015 US$89 £59 Request An Inspection Copy!

While there is little disagreement that innovation is the fundamental source of value creation and competitive advantage, investment in IT to support and foster innovation by no means guarantees success. There are various issues to be considered, such as the question of processes and structures that need to be in place in order to maximise value, how to leverage IT innovation to formulate constantly evolving strategies so as to seize emergent opportunities, and how to overcome challenges faced in implementation, amongst others.

Oct 2013 US$68 £45 edited by Joe Tidd (University of Sussex, UK) More recently, this field has fragmented into a number of related disciplines with subtle differences in focus: Knowledge management — how organisations identify, share and exploit their internal competencies, in particular the knowledge of individuals. Organisational learning — the relationship between individual and organisational knowledge and how organisations ‘ unlearn’ past competencies and acquire new competencies. Strategic management — how competencies can be assessed, and how these contribute to performance. Innovation management — how such competencies are translated into new processes, products and services. 432pp 978-1-84816-883-1 978-1-84816-884-8(pbk) Series on Technology Management - Vol 22 Jul 2012 US$120 US$64 £79 £42 DISCONTINUOUS INNOVATION Te xtb oo k Learning to Manage the Unexpected by Peter Augsdörfer (Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt, Germany), John Bessant (University of Exeter, UK), Kathrin Möslein (Universität ErlangenNürnberg, Germany), Bettina von Stamm (Innovation Leadership Forum, UK) & Frank Piller (RWTH Aachen University, Germany) Series on Technology Management - Vol 20 BAZAAR OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEW BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT Bridging Networked Innovation, Intellectual Property and Business This book is based on the findings, issues and questions related to an ongoing decade-old research project named the Innovation 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? This book attempts to provide answers to the above mentioned questions by gathering information from the research project and also from firms that have tried exploring various ideas, models and insights to tackle discontinuous innovation. 460pp 978-1-84816-780-3 Nov 2013 US$78 £51 Te xtb oo k WORKBOOK FOR OPENING INNOVATION Bridging Networked Business, Intellectual Property and Contracting WORLD SCIENTIFIC £65 The Connection of People and Resources for Innovation — A Textbook This book focuses on the implementation of phenomena, theories and ideas presented in the book Bazaar of Opportunities for New Business Development — Bridging Networked Innovation, Intellectual Property and Business.

This book shows readers that firms can interact, innovate, and do business with different known and unknown actors, both formally and informally, and use different levels of openness within interorganizational innovation processes. External actors, however, also mean additional risks for the firm that they should manage. The subtitle of this book addresses the guidance and perspectives that the book will provide in order to better prepare the reader for innovation with external actors. 236pp 978-1-84816-891-6 Series on Technology Management - Vol 21 172pp 978-1-84816-960-9 by Jaakko Paasi, Katri Valkokari, Tuija Rantala (VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland), Soili Nystén-Haarala, Nari Lee & Laura Huhtilainen (University of Eastern Finland) Te xtb oo k by Cheng Hsu (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA) This unique new textbook on Information Systems (IS) provides an answer to a few basic questions in the field: What is the scientific nature of IS?

Although it focuses strongly on R& D, it sees R& D as a part (a key part) of the process of technological innovation, and therefore as an activity to be strongly and appropriately integrated with other functions to make innovation successful. 292pp 978-1-86094-261-7 Mar 2001 US$105 £69 WORLD SCIENTIFIC New & Notable Titles in Innovation, Technology and Information Management New & Forthcoming Titles in Business and Management Textbook STATSNOTES ORIENTAL MANAGEMENT A Strategic Analysis Some Statistics for Management Problems by Frederick D Lipman (Blank Rome LLP, USA) by Alan Jessop (Durham University, UK) by Dongshui Su (Fudan University, China) & Chungwai So (Shanghai International Studies University, China) 312pp 978-981-4632-64-5 Mar 2016 US$48 £32 316pp 978-981-4696-67-8 May 2016 US$75 £50 300pp 978-981-4412-99-5 INTERNATIONAL TRADE Textbook SERVICES MARKETING (8th Edition) Textbook MANAGEMENT OF SUPPLY CHAIN OPERATIONS NEW METHODS OF FINANCING YOUR BUSINESS IN THE UNITED STATES Theory, Evidence and Policy by Richard Pomfret (University of Adelaide, Australia & The Johns Hopkins University, Italy) 320pp 978-981-4725-07-1 Apr 2016 US$95 £63 WORLDWIDE CASEBOOK IN MARKETING MANAGEMENT People, Technology, Strategy by Jochen Wirtz (NUS, Singapore) & Christopher Lovelock 600pp 978-1-944659-00-4 978-1-944659-01-1(pbk) May 2016 US$118 £78 US$59 £40 Sep 2016 US$68 £45 Textbook by Lei Lei, Rosa Oppenheim, Yao Zhao (Rutgers University, USA) & Leonardo DeCandia (Johnson & Johnson, USA) 300pp 978-981-3108-79-0 Dec 2016 US$78 £51 ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN WESTERN EUROPE by Luiz Moutinho (Dublin City University, Ireland) WINNING IN SERVICE MARKETS A Contextual Perspective 924pp 978-981-4689-60-1 Success through People, Technology and Strategy by Léo-Paul Dana (Montpellier Business School, France) by Jochen Wirtz (NUS, Singapore) 450pp 978-1-78326-793-4 Apr 2016 US$225 £149 World Scientific Studies in International Economics - Vol 50 500pp 978-1-944659-04-2 978-1-944659-05-9(pbk) Jun 2016 US$75 £50 US$38 £25 MARKETING ANALYTICS THE LEGAL AND ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE WTO/FTA SYSTEM by Dukgeun Ahn (Seoul National University, Korea) 384pp 978-981-4704-34-2 Apr 2016 US$135 £89 WINNING WITH HONOUR In Relationships, Family, Organisations, Leadership, and Life by Siong Guan Lim (Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, NUS, Singapore) & Joanne H Lim (The Right Perspective, Singapore) 250pp 978-981-3108-63-9 978-981-3108-64-6(pbk) WORLD SCIENTIFIC May 2016 US$58 £38 US$30 £20 HOW TO CREATE A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS PLAN For Entrepreneurs, Scientists, Managers and Students by Dan Galai (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel), Lior Hillel (Independent Business Consultant, Switzerland) & Daphna Wiener (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel) 280pp 978-981-4651-28-8 978-981-4651-51-6(pbk) Jun 2016 US$58 £38 US$29 £19 Dec 2016 US$98 £65 Textbook A Practitioner’s Guide to Marketing Analytics and Research Methods by Ashok Charan (NUS, Singapore) 720pp 978-981-4641-36-4 978-981-4678-57-5(pbk) Jul 2015 US$156 US$78 £103 £51 THE WORLD SCIENTIFIC REFERENCE ON ENTREPRENEURSHIP (In 4 Volumes) Editor-in-chief Donald Siegel (University at Albany, SUNY, USA) 2000pp 978-981-4733-30-4(Set) Dec 2016 US$950 £627 www.worldscientific.com 7 New & Notable Titles in Innovation, Technology and Information Management JOURNALS: Subscribe Now!
