Innovation Management: Idea Selection and Portfolio Management

Wed, 28 Sep 2022 09:00:00 +0200

The second phase of the innovation process is the idea selection phase. Not all the creative ideas of employees are valuable for the organization. Some ideas may not be financially feasible, while others fall outside the organization’s competitive scope. The goal of the idea selection phase is to select promising ideas that can be futher developed into a novel product or service.

Organizations can manage the idea selection phase by developing a portfolio of different projects. Portfolio management is a resource allocation problem: assigning a fixed amount of resources—like money and production capacity—to a limited amount of projects. A succesfull portfolio management strategy spreads risks, targets different time horizons, and makes sure that projects are not duplicated.

Is Brokerage Necessary for Innovative Performance? A Necessary Condition Analysis

Sat, 30 Jun 2018 15:20:00 +0100

On Saturday June 30 I presented one of my working papers on workplace social networks and innovative behavior during Sunbelt 2018. In this paper—which I’m writing together with professors Jan Dul, Justin Jansen and Lotte Glaser—We examine whether high levels of innovative behavior can only be achieved if an employee has a relatively open network in which many of his contacts are not directly connected themselves.
