Product innovation within strategic alliances differs from product innovation within firms due to coordination problems with respect to decision making. This exploratory study, drawing on alliance research, strategic decisionmaking research and product innovation literature explains these problems at the level of product innovation projects in dyadic strategic alliances. In particular, the empi...

Despite wide interest in collaborative approaches to innovation, many open innovation projects fail. According to existing literature, one reason for this failure is that firms do not tackle " the mindset challenge " of transitioning from a closed to an open innovation model. This chapter provides insight into the individual decision-making process that determines whether people engage in or re...

This paper draws on findings from a longitudinal study of the adoption of a management innovation within an organisational setting. It is based on the findings of a case study that explores and discusses in depth a Knowledge Management programme that was introduced within a large distributed public sector agency in Europe. The aim of this research was to provide insight into the adoption proces...

An intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) lacks a stable three-dimensional structure, while it folds into a specific structure when it binds to a target molecule. In some IDP-target complexes, not all target binding surfaces are exposed on the outside, and intermediate states are observed in their binding processes. We consider that stepwise target recognition via intermediate states is a chara...

Imprecise Dirichlet Process-based tests (IDP-tests, for short) have been recently introduced in the literature. They overcome the problem of deciding how to select a single prior in Bayesian hypothesis testing, in the absence of prior information. They make use of a “near-ignorance” model, that behaves a priori as a vacuous model for some basic inferences, but it provides non-vacuous posterior ...

Organizations often face complex choices involving uncertainty, trade-offs, and broad consequences, but responding to such situations in rational ways can be hampered by individual decision makers’ cognitive limitations. The framework of decision analysis (DA) provides a unified collection of analytical decisionmaking tools and procedures that are designed to help managers cope with difficult d...

Individual development plans (IDPs) have been promoted nationally as a tool to help research trainees explore career opportunities and set career goals. Despite the interest in IDPs from a policy perspective, there is little information about how they have been used. The authors examined IDP awareness and use, the benefits of creating an IDP, and ways to facilitate its use by administering a su...

Recent years have seen an explosion in the number of academic and practitioner-oriented publications on business models and business model innovation. Indeed, companies that traditionally focused on product and service innovation, are turning toward business model innovation as an alternative or complement to product or process innovation. Nevertheless, companies struggle to innovate the busine...

Information System (IS) Security threats is still a major concern for many organisations. However, most organisations fall short in achieving a successful adoption and implementation of IS security measures. In this paper, we developed a theoretical model for the adoption process of IS Security innovations in organisations. The model was derived by combining four theoretical models of innovatio...
