R&D Management Conference 2020 – tracks cover latest thinking

Innovations across the boundaries – is the theme for the 2020 R&D Management Conference and there are 25 tracks to choose from and we have asked the track chairs to give an insight into what fascinates them about the subject.

The deadline for abstract submission has passed.

The core programme for the R&D Management Conference is structured around a series of parallel sessions each lasting 90 minutes. Sessions comprise four paper presentations that may be academically focused, practice relevant, or a mix of both.

Accounting for social impact of universities

A living lab, is a research concept, defined as a user-centered, open-innovation ecosystem (which could be a university) that operates with a particular territory such as a city or region. Laura Corazza is looking at the ‘third mission’; how universities integrate research and innovation processes to support the sustainable development of societies. 

Contextual specificity in R&D Management

Diversity in the different fields of R&D is often overlooked in the drive to create general-purpose frameworks, track chair Dr Jeremy Klein is looking forward to exploring this topic at the R&D Management Conference.

Corporate and start-ups collaboration

Digital technology has made it much easier to develop, test and launch new products, lowering the barrier of entry for start-ups.  There is a temptation for these early stage companies to collaborate with established companies to overcome market entry challenges and also for encumbents to see collaboration as a means to respond to market change – but does it work?  Ferran Giones discusses his interest in this highly topical issue.

Don’t believe the hype?

Over hyped technology is part of the journey – but does this kill or make innovation? This track is exploring the dynamics of technological hype and legitimacy – two phenomena at heart of any technology’s innovation journey.

From Research to Industry and Society

The role of Public Research Organizations (PROs) is often overlooked as the focus is greater on the universities, however these institutes are often engaged in capital-intensive research projects with industry that may also incur significant public investment.  Chair of this track Raffaella Manzini discusses the role of PROs and their value to industry.

Marketing Innovations

Traditional marketing techniques often prove to be ineffective for the design and diffusion of truly innovative offers, hence the need for a real “innovation marketing”. In this context, Emmanuelle Le Nagard and Aurélie Hemonnet-Goujot discuss how this track of the R&D Management Conference seeks to gather contributions on concepts and methods that would help organisations to better understand and overcome this difficulty.

Towards a Data Science of Startups

Details of nearly a million startups from all over the world are now available through publicly accessible databases, this track explores how this wealth of information can be used.

University-Industry owned Joint Laboratories: A new hype?

There is a lot of work done on the third mission, knowledge triangle and triple helix which postulate that universities research should be more aligned to industrial application but the best methods of implementing this are unclear. Dr Dirk Meissner, looks at the current findings.

Social Systems and Future Manufacturing

Understanding the dynamics of industrial organisations and technological changeHow do social systems shape the development and diffusion of new manufacturing technologies and how these societal systems be affected by new technological trends? These are the big questions being discussed in this track.
