Summary

This introduction to the Elgar Encyclopedia of Innovation Management outlines the scope and structure of the resource, which covers science and technology management, open and collaborative innovation, creativity and diversity, and responsible and sustainable innovation across private, public, and third sectors. The piece frames innovation management as a field requiring integration of classic approaches with emerging perspectives including sustainability.

The objective of the Elgar Encyclopedia of Innovation Management is to provide scholars and practitioners with a comprehensive, forward-looking resource that fosters innovation-related research, teaching and organizational practice across the private, public and third sectors. The encyclopedia is organized into five sections, each encompassing classic, emerging and novel approaches to innovation management: (1) Science, Technology and Innovation Management; (2) Open, Collaborative and Systemic Innovation; (3) Creativity, Diversity and Power in Innovation; (4) Responsible and Sustainable Innovation; and (5) New Theorizations, Philosophie, and Methods. These sections address the historical foundations, current practices and future possibilities of innovation management within societal, economic and global contexts. The Encyclopedia deepens insights into a wide-ranging perspective on innovation management and opens new pathways within this continuously evolving field of expertise.
