“…This study deploys clinical management research (CMR), a method that involves 'observing, eliciting and reporting of data which are available when the researcher is engaged in a helping relationship in the management of change' [17]. The method is suitable because it allows case firms and their management to gain deeper and richer insights into a particular problem [6]. This is because this type of research constitutes both an investigation and a response to a problem faced by the case firm.…”

“…This study develops a systematic approach for implementing a multi-sourcing strategy in the context of engineer-to-order (ETO) production. The study is based on a clinical management research design (CMR) [6], where a framework is developed for an ETO firm that initially relied on a single sourcing strategy but recently decided to implement a multi-sourcing strategy.…”

Engineer-to-order (ETO) manufacturers operate in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, and complex business environment, which has added more complexity to their already complex supply chain operations. As they navigate the ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic, they need knowledge-based guidance on selecting and implementing approaches to increasing resilience. Based on a clinical management design, this study develops a systematic approach for a case firm that recently transitioned from single sourcing to multisourcing. The goal is to strike a balance between the total cost of acquisition and supply chain resilience. The study reveals that effective implementation of multisourcing in ETO production requires involving the purchasing and supply function (PSF) right from the design stages. Besides, it is essential to deploy a cloud-based procurement system that facilitates interactions between PSF and the suppliers, as well as other critical organisational functions involved in an ETO project.

“…Managing "knowledge workers", performance, and rewards highlights the importance of people management in the knowledge economy [93]. Human resource development and its link with innovation ought to be analysed within the context of organisational culture and leadership capabilities [41], [14], [87]. Creating the successful organisational design which encourages innovation is a very complex process that involves aligning a set of organisational components, which should be combined in the best possible way to create and improve the environment that encourages innovation in the first place [67], [14], [94], [69], [4], [61].…”

Efficient strategic project management in SROs (Science and Research Organisations) implies the existence of an integrated strategic management concept closely linked to an innovative organisational design. The aim of the paper is to examine the influence of certain factors of strategic project management on creating an organisational design that encourages innovation in scientific research organizations. An empirical research in SROs in Serbia has been conducted as well. Our research is empirically presented on the example of SROs in Serbia as a representative of developing countries. Our findings show that the external and internal environment, project portfolio, resources, monitoring, methods, and techniques mainly influence an organisational design. These elements of strategic project management account for 67.3% of the explained variability in a developed regression model. This paper extends the current strategic and project management literature with a new conceptual model on the link between strategic project management factors and an innovative organisational design in SROs. The presented analysis can help strategic and project managers establish adequate strategic guidelines for organisational development activities to improve the efficiency of scientific research results and the level of their innovativeness.

“…In 2019, ISO – the International Organization for Standardization – published a novel management systems standard of innovation management. The standard was published 40 years after Burns and Stalker's seminal volume on innovation management (Burns and Stalkers, 1961) at a time, where the interest in organizations as the locus of innovation is more accentuated than ever (Brockhoff, 2017; Karlsson and Magnusson, 2019; OECD/Eurostat, 2018). The significance of the ISO 5600 project is tied to another document, another international management standard: The ISO 9001 on quality management, and as such to the longstanding controversy between innovation and quality management.…”

PurposeThe purpose of the paper is to pay homage to Dorothy E. Smith (1926–2022), and her lifelong significance for organizational ethnography. Building on Smith, the empirical purpose of the paper is to analyze professional boundary setting on behalf of innovation management as it occurred in the recent International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Committees (TC) 279 committee on innovation management.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is an ethnographic study of the drafting and publication of a novel international management standard on innovation management, the ISO 56000-series published in 2019. It is based on fieldwork from the ISO committee and integrates relevant standardization documents, observations and interviews.FindingsThe paper analyzes four occasions for textual professional boundary work ranging from negotiations of content and choice of ISO standard formats to the unprecedented high-level liaison agreements across international organizations. In each instance, the analysis depicts distinct textual features related to ISO standardization. The analysis shows how the standard becomes positioned as extending and complementing the ISO 9001, not as a radical, freestanding alternative to quality management.Originality/valueThe paper presents original data from the ISO standardization committee. It develops Smith's general textual ontology into a theoretical framework for analyzing how professional boundary setting occurs in the textually structured context of ISO standardization. It gives attention to the implications of questions of objectification and standardization as these apply to contemporary research into innovation and organization.
