  The subject of innovation management is often treated as a series of separate specialisms, rather than an integrated task. The main aim of this book, however, is to bring together the areas of innovation management and new product development and to keep a strong emphasis on innovation as a management process. Written in an accessible style, this third edition brings a change in structure to clearly set out three key areas for the student: Innovation management, managing technology and knowledge and new product development. This book will be suitable for undergraduates and postgraduates on a wide range of courses from marketing, strategic management, business studies and engineering.

  The management of innovation and product development is becoming critical as new products become a source of competitive advantage for many firms. In many industries it is the firms whose employees develop exciting products, that customers will want to buy, who will be successful. This text offers final year undergraduate and post-graduate students a contemporary view of innovation management that focuses on the links and overlaps between groups and disciplines. It takes a necessarily broad perspective, bringing together the three areas of business - organisation strategy, marketing and R&D. Moreover, it offers a framework through which students can view the management process of innovation.
