"The book describes and analyses the new environment for innovation, it does this with an emphasis on yet uncharted regions within the field of practice-based innovation, coming up with guidelines for innovation policy measures needed in order to realise this. While it focuses on these policies it also takes into account multi-actor innovation processes, user-driven innovation, "related variety" and many other aspects; aspects such as, just to name a few: communicating creative processes and distributing practice-based innovation; then there is creativity itself, encompassing new fields of knowledge and expertise. The authors go on to describe value networks, showing how to make practice-based innovations, explaining innovation diffusion and absorptive capacity. The book presents new insights as well as the latest research related to the frequently used term "innovation". Definitions are put forward, giving, by way of examples, a detailed description of concepts we draw upon when using these. Innovation as a concept is constantly being subdivided into increasingly finer distinctions, which, in turn, determine the discourse. The book takes a close look at these, further taking into account the challenges as well as the opportunities inherent in developing practice-based innovation procedures and policies of global importance, never losing sight of advancing long-term effectiveness."

"The "made in China" label has long dominated the lower end of the US manufacturing industry, effectively squeezing it out of existence. That's old news. What most people don't know is that China's global reach now extends much further. Chinese companies have entered higher-end markets-technology, financial services, transportation, energy - and are emerging as powerhouse multinationals. "In the Shadow of the Dragon" is a meticulously researched expose of the most competitive companies in China. Based on interviews with Chinese business leaders and original case studies, the book provides: profiles of key players; insights into subtle yet powerful strategies used to gain market dominance; an understanding of the Chinese approach to going global; analysis of the Chinese way of innovation; and advice on competing head-to-head or forming alliances with Chinese partners. Part primer, part survival guide, "In the Shadow of the Dragon" is the first book to lay bare the challenges looming ahead."

Tighter competition in the realm of business has raised a demand for every company/corporations to carry out innovation management in order to warrant that they can create new products for the best interest of their clients. PT. A, one of the HR consulting firms also facing the same demand, has declared its vision of becoming a major Indonesia's firm which bases its practices on integrated and comprehensive approaches. The stated vision has put a solid ground for the firm to create innovative services in HR area, which is followed by the establishment of QRD Division. The firm, however, is still challenged by the fact that innovation has not been optimally implemented.

Based on the analysis of the firm A, both on the employees' characteristic and the firm's organization and culture, the researcher suggests a number of solutions in form of the setting-up of coordination tracks throughout the innovation process which involves the QRD Division and all working groups as well as the execution of training programs designed to improve employees' creative thinking. In addition, the researcher also recommends the firm to run supporting activities which include designing a particular method to evaluate the effectiveness of innovation activities based on the goal approach and internal process approach, an incentive scheme for the targeted performance of QRD Division and the working groups, as well as an evaluation of the effectiveness of creativity training programs."
