Collaborative Innovation: Building Multi-Firm Communities for Competitive Advantage

Professor Charles C. Snow (Penn State University, USA)

Enterprise Ireland in collaboration with the Centre for Innovation and Structural Change invites you to the first of four talks from renowned thought leaders in the areas of innovation and management. These include Professor Charles C. Snow from Penn State University, Professor Duncan Angwin from Warwick Business School, Professor Tom Allen from MIT and Eric van Heck from RSM Erasmus University.



The first of these talks will be led by Charles C. Snow is the Mellon Foundation Professor of Business Administration in the Smeal College of Business at Penn State University. He is listed in Who's Who in the Management Sciences, Great Writers on Organizations, and The IEBM Handbook of Management Thinking.
Organisations can struggle to deal with the innovation imperative which pervades products, process, service and networks. New trends of crowd sourcing and social networking are challenging the convention thinking around organising for innovation. In his talk Charles Snow will examine the innovation barriers and challenges and how organisations can respond by building communities of networked firms using continuous innovation, which fulfils the needs for efficient provision of a constant stream of new products, services, and markets. In doing so he will draw on his recent research on Blade,org set up by IBM and on his ground breaking research on collaborative entrepreneurship
