Management of Innovation in Research

Abstract

Innovation and Research have been associated for a long time. We use the term innovation to mean the process that transforms ideas into commercial value. The innovation path is quite long, difficult and complex from the production of new ideas to the final product. So, we need to define the meaning of innovation in research in order to maximize the chance to take the right way to a successful innovation. The association of the two words, innovation and research, is not really relevant. This document explains what is innovation in research and how to manage it. A specific doctoral training session is also described in order to improve innovation outcomes in industry-research organizations.
