Many developing countries still face difficulties initiating and sustaining economic development. Such difficulties have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in an increasing divergence between rich and poor countries. One crucial question is whether to follow the trajectories of present-day rich countries or seek out different, new trajectories. Although this is a fundamental question, scholars offering mainstream prescriptions have not sufficiently explored it. Drawing on extensive empirical studies of firms and industries, Innovation and Development Detours for Latecomers proposes an effective alternative to prevailing development thinking. It presents a rich menu of development pathways, including a new role for Schumpeterian states whereby they do not follow the paths of technological development already taken by advanced countries. Rather, they can skip certain stages and even create their own detours thereby leapfrogging advanced countries in both manufacturing and service sectors. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

John Cerasani was excited to get a job in the "real world." After attending two prestigious universities, Northwestern and Notre Dame, he was geared up and ready to enter white collar America. He got a job in business-to-business sales and quickly rose as a top performer, later pivoting to another end of the same industry with another employer. He was doing well and was respected. He had the job title, the assistant, the office with a view, but he also started developing doubt. Major doubt. He was only 27 years old when he realized that Corporate America was filled with smoke and mirrors. There was evidence of brainwashing that suggested employees couldn't achieve this type of success as an entrepreneur, and John discovered that everything was put in place to trick both employees and clients to believe that bigger is better when, in fact, that isn't the case at all. This eventually led to his selling the company he started from his kitchen for tens of millions of dollars. In 2000 Percent Raise, John uses his experiences in leaving Corporate America to compete on his own as a step-by-step guide for the reader, giving them the ammunition to pull the trigger in not only reevaluating the pitfalls of working for someone else, but also how to be successful against much larger employers when working for themselves.

Der New-Work-Trend beherrscht seit einigen Jahren die Strategiediskussionen zahlreicher Unternehmen. Die Mehrheit der Unternehmen nimmt an, dass New-Work-Maßnahmen einen Wandel der Kultur von konventionell und traditionsreich zu flexibel und innovativ mit sich bringen. Trotz der Verankerung in Strategie und Unternehmensvisionen gibt es bisher wenig empirische Forschung, die den Zusammenhang von Unternehmenskultur und New Work behandelt. Das Ziel des Buches ist es daher, diese Forschungslücke mit dem Fokus auf Kreativität als Vorläufer für Innovation und Fortschritt zu schließen, um Handlungsempfehlungen für Unternehmen zu entwickeln, die einen Kulturwandel anstreben und die Kreativität ihrer Mitarbeiter anregen wollen.

Auf Grund des langanhaltenden Niedrigzinsniveaus sowie der zusätzlichen Herausforderungen der Corona-Pandemie, stehen Anbieter von Finanzdienstleistungsberatungen (z. B. Banken, Vermögensverwalter) sowie Privatanleger vor finanziellen Problemen. Auf der einen Seite erleiden Banken signifikante Ertragseinbrüche in Geschäftsbereichen, die jahrelang als stabil galten (z. B. Fristentransformation). Auf der anderen Seite stehen Privatanleger der Inflationsgefahr gegenüber, die mit konservativen und niedrig verzinsten Anlagen nicht zu beseitigen ist. Ein möglicher Ausweg, um für beide Seiten finanzielle Linderung zu schaffen, stellen digitale Anlageberatungsservices, die im Fachjargon unter den Begriff Robo-Advice und Robo-Advisory bekannt sind. Dieses Konzept wird aktuell um die Einbindung sog. Krypto- Assets erweitert. Die Arbeit untersucht daher die entscheidungsbestimmenden Faktoren aus Sicht der Privatanleger hinsichtlich der Nutzung eines Krypto-Robo-Advisor.

This book draws on a neo-institutional theory to characterize service-oriented manufacturing firms in relation to more familiar organizational forms, such as lean and agile. It sheds light on whether being lean is a prerequisite for agile organizations and whether agile organizations are precursors of service-oriented organizations. The book empirically examines the prevalence of such organizations using representative samples of manufacturing firms in an industrialized country. This approach makes it possible to "e;zoom in"e; and determine whether the extent of adoption of digital manufacturing innovations, digital services, and service-oriented business models varies with organizations' size, industry, product complexity, lot size, type of design process, and type of manufacturing process. In turn, it shows which digital manufacturing innovations, lean practices, and services contribute to leanness-related performance capabilities like quality and costs; agility-related capabilities like fast delivery, flexibility and innovation; and service-oriented capabilities like high service performance and digitalization. In addition, it explores the question of whether lean, agile, and service-oriented performance capabilities contribute to financial performance separately or jointly.

This book discusses theoretically and empirically the trade-off relationship between the frequency of product adaptation activities and the constraints on development resources, and how companies can respond to these constraints. The objective of this book is to identify effective management practices in continuous product development. With the continuation of development activities, companies are required to constantly adapt their products to changes in the external environment. In continuous product development, the development process extends beyond product release, and interaction with the external environment is not limited to the planning stage but occurs multiple times throughout the process. What impact does the multiple adaptation activities have on the product performance as development activities become more continuous, and how to use limited development resources to provide stable and constant high-quality adaptation activities with optimal frequency have become urgent issues in the development sites. To address these research questions, this book focuses primarily on the development activities of the online game industry. The factors that bring about superior product performance are examined by combining case studies and questionnaire surveys on online game development projects. Furthermore, user community management is also discussed from the perspective of the interaction process between multiple user groups.
