The world is changing; how enterprises carry out innovation needs to change with it. This book presents new methods and tools (from creativity to engineering), aimed at promoting and sustaining enterprise innovation and production improvement.
The primary (but not exclusive) focus is on the new approaches, methods, frameworks, and tools conceived for enterprise innovation and production improvement, developed during the European BIVEE Project (Business Innovation for Virtual Enterprise Ecosystems). The topics addressed range from open innovation in virtual enterprises to shared virtual spaces for collaborative creativity, and to innovation metrics and monitoring in the context of networked SMEs.
The authors illustrate a new comprehensive proposal for enterprise innovation; the outcome of the BIVEE project which involved 10 partners for 3 years. The content spans from theoretical and methodological aspects, to technological aspects (illustrating the BIVEE software environment), to applied experiences carried out in two different sectors: robotics and control automation, and wood and furniture (i.e. covering a large spectrum from a high-tech to a traditional industry). The book provides the competences, practical guidelines and instructions for launching a pilot experience for interested enterprises to definitively experiment with the proposed approach.
