“…Moreover, as the lack of connection between CEwS and systematic innovation management literature became clear we gradually refined the discussion presented in section 5, based on our previous investigations on the subject (e.g. Bagno et al, 2017b;Bagno et al, 2017c;Melo & Bagno, 2017). Finally, the conclusion section summarizes our final thoughts and directions for future research.…”

Corporate Engagements with Startups (CEwS) are Open Innovation initiatives in which large established companies interact with startups aiming at improving innovation performance. Complementary characteristics of established companies (e.g. resource availability, inertia…) and startups (resource scarcity, flexibility, technologies…) are starting points for such engagements. However, large companies and startups are remarkably different so that working together can be overly challenging. Especially for large companies, many intricacies emerge to interact with nascent businesses (e.g. processes, culture, resource sharing, information disclosure, etc.). This study summarizes the current literature on CEwS and identifies the main strands and antecedents of this phenomenon, as well as the main reference models available in the literature. Then, the paper presents and discusses some open questions for innovation management under the perspective of large companies, based on the gaps identified between the presented literature on CEwS and the organizational debate within the innovation management field. Finally, we present implications for theory and practice and suggest directions for future studies on CEwS.

Feature development is about conceiving a set of functionalities prior to the products that embody them. Established automotive companies have numerous features in their portfolios, so, notwithstanding the challenge of creating new features, this study focused on the following problem that emerges in the Front End of Innovation of these companies: from the portfolio of available features, which ones to select for each new product specification? As a response, we propose the Feature Selection Methodology (FSM), designed over a 7-month action-research program conducted along with a global automotive company. Finally, general implications of FSM and Featuredriven development are discussed.

“…Innovation has become increasingly important for organizations as one of the main pillars of organizational function (Bagno, Salerno, & Dias, 2017). It is a generic core activity within any organization associated with a survival, growth and renewal (Tidd, & Bessant, 2018) mainly because innovation is the application of creativity or problem solving that results in a widely adopted strategy, product or service that meets a need in a new and different way (Lanchman, Smith Glasgow, & Donnelly, 2006).…”

It is considered to be a critical component of productivity and competitive survival in healthcare as well. It is also important concept in the public health nursing. The public family health clinics are central axis of the preventive care provided to young families in Israel. This article presents a process of assessing the needs of parents of children aged 3-6, from the family health clinics (FHCs) in accordance with a changing reality as a key to defining necessary innovation to be implemented in FHCs services. Objective: To explore parents' needs from FHC and define means of narrowing the gap between the needs of young families and the services currently provided. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from 18 families that received treatment at FHC in Tel Aviv and the central Israel regions. Results: Data revealed the contribution of an in-depth costumer needs' assessment to the required service innovation. Parents noted the importance of a personalized service adjusted to their unique family needs, as opposed to generalized instructions. Conclusions: The findings provide further insight into various aspects that may help public health managers to improve the service in terms of attitude, professional service and added value at each encounter. Additional consideration and efforts should be given to Service marketing methods as well.
