The International Journal of Innovation Studies (IJIS) is an international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal that seeks to advance theoretical and practical knowledge on innovation.The Nature of Innovation Innovation is imperative in today's academic research, but in nature, it defies linear analysis and traditional management methods. What are the characteristics of organizations that stimulate successful innovation? How can managers create an environment in which innovation thrives? How do political leaders and decision makers differentiate between sinkholes and fertile ground when allocating resources for creative work? How can business harness this illogical, unpredictable force that can be as frustrating as it is valuable?Interdisciplinary Insight on Innovation During its emerging era, the field of innovation studies was populated by "immigrants" from other disciplines. It thus became intrinsically interdisciplinary in nature - an intellectual "melting pot" characterized by diversity and an eclectic borrowing of cognitive resources from others. In the IJIS, we invite interdisciplinary researchers from economics, sociology, management studies, and psychology to put forth their insights on innovations, so as to promote the incorporation of a broad and heterogeneous mix of research activities, as well as a fruitful intercourse with social scientists from different disciplines and fields.The Future of Innovation Studies In the past, we have witnessed how innovation changes the world: an earth flattened by the internet and upheavals in the music industry, reading habits, and social networking by innovative companies such as Apple, Amazon, Google, and Facebook. Yet, innovation studies as a discipline have largely failed to develop new research methods for understanding innovations of the 21st century. Thus, how can scholars in innovation studies follow up on future technology and its impacts? In this new era, governments may also need to adopt a more entrepreneurial approach towards innovation policy; hence, researchers in innovation studies must provide a better understanding of the interaction between policy-making and innovation activities. The IJIS invites scholars to look forward and discuss future directions of innovation studies.Main Subjects Covered: The Brain and InnovationCorporate Innovation SystemCreating InnovatorsEconomics of InnovationEntrepreneurship and InnovationEvolutionary or Schumpeterian EconomicsHistory of InnovationIncentives of Innovative PeopleInnovation and DevelopmentInnovation and Organizational ChangeInnovation and SustainabilityInnovation PolicyKnowledge Management and InnovationManagement of InnovationManaging Open InnovationMicro Foundations of InnovationNational Innovation SystemPhilosophy of InnovationProject Management of InnovationPsychology of InnovationR&D and InnovationRegional Innovation SystemSectoral Innovation SystemStrategic Management and InnovationTotal Innovation ManagementUser InnovationEditorial Board
The Journal of Innovation and Knowledge (JIK) focuses on how we gain knowledge through innovation and how knowledge encourages new forms of innovation. Not all innovation leads to knowledge. Only enduring innovation that can be generalized across multiple fields creates theory and knowledge. JIK welcomes papers on innovations that improve the quality of knowledge or that can be used to develop knowledge. Innovation is a broad concept, covering innovation processes, structures, outcomes, antecedents, and behaviors at the organizational level in the private and public sectors as well as at the individual, national, and professional levels. JIK articles explore knowledge-related changes that introduce or encourage innovation to promote best practices within society.JIK provides an outlet for high-quality studies that have undergone double-blind peer review. In doing so, JIK ensures that such studies reach a global readership of scholars, consultants, practitioners, international leaders, and policymakers who recognize the importance of innovation and knowledge as economic drivers and who base their decisions on new ideas and findings in innovation and knowledge.JIK publishes content in the form of theoretical articles, empirical studies employing quantitative or qualitative methods, practice-oriented papers, teaching-oriented papers, case studies, book reviews, conference reports, short articles on current trends in science and society, abstracts of recent innovation and knowledge PhDs, and shorter opinion-based and review articles, commentaries, and debates. JIK publishes state-of-the-art research on emerging topics in the world of innovation and knowledge and appeals to a broad readership. The editors welcome suggestions for special issue topics. JIK articles should demonstrate contextual differences, while highlighting lessons for the wider audience. In summary, JIK is an interdisciplinary journal devoted to advancing theoretical and practical innovations and knowledge in a range of fields, including Economics, Business and Management, Engineering, Science, and Education. JIK has a broad scope in the following areas:Innovation (including but not limited to: open innovation, innovation adoption and diffusion, organizational behavior and innovation, creativity, improvisation, and individual innovation, innovation in teams and groups, institutional and social innovation, consequences of innovation, critical approaches to innovation or innovation alliances and networks) in relation to knowledge, and vice versa. Knowledge patterns in relation to innovation.Knowledge-related changes that introduce innovations and best practices in society.Globalization in innovation and knowledge.Innovation policies and practices that lead to knowledge.Cross-cultural case studies in knowledge and innovation.New practical models and paradigms for understanding and fostering innovation and knowledge.Knowledge and innovation derived from data.Information systems in knowledge and innovation.Knowledge and innovation in organizations and their behaviors.Knowledge- and innovation-based systems, products, and processes.Issues that affect the developers of education systems and educators who implement and manage innovations and knowledge.Ethics in knowledge and innovation.Knowledge and innovation transfer.Quality in knowledge and innovation.
