This book covers European perspectives on innovation management, including new product and service development, due to the inherent variety of socio-economic perspectives and institutional settings in Europe. The numerous settings and differing perspectives explored in the chapters exemplify diversity, which ultimately leads to enhancing innovation. Understanding such unique approaches will enable companies, universities and other actors to more effectively create innovative products and services, and policy makers to effectively stimulate growth and innovation. The fragmented, distributed economies in Europe also put a strong focus on internationalisation, including innovation management, new product and service development, even within the internally open market of the European Economic Area. European Perspectives on Innovation Management will be of help to researchers, managers, entrepreneurs, practitioners and students working on innovation management and practices embedded in national and regional innovation systems, thus fostering a more innovative Europe.

He is chairing the Early Career Researchers and Doctoral Training Programme for the International Foundation for Production Research; in addition, he is actively involved in the mentoring of early career researchers. His activities are driven by research inter-disciplinary research interests in manufacturing systems, manufacturing strategy, innovation and technology management, new product development, and industrial networks (incl. supply chains); furthermore, activities are often inspired by system theories and evolutionary (biological) models. He holds a master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and a doctoral degree, both from Delft University of Technology; he has held positions in industry before embarking on an academic career.
Laure Morel is full Professor at the Lorraine University. Director of a research laboratory for 10 years (ERPI Lab), and today of an Engineering School (ENSGSI) both specialized in Industrial Engineering and Innovation, Laure Morel is an expert in these fields. Her research interests span the field of new product/process development using living lab methodologies and associated metrics of innovation. One of the most important results is the proposal of an innovative potential Index (IIP). The aim is to propose data collection approaches and data treatment models allowing a real comparison between a set of companies by considering their innovation management capabilities. Professor Morel is on the Directorate board of the International Association for Management of Technology (IAMOT) and of the International Network on Innovation (RRI). She is also participating to the design of the ISO Norm series on Management of Innovation (56000).
