Bangalore on following two research projects under the broad theme of
“systematic innovation in India”. Prof. Krishnan is an authority on
innovation ecosystem especially at a national level and has recently
published an excellent book titled “From Jugaad
to systematic innovation”. A brief outline of the two projects is
given below.
1. Best practices in
management of innovation in the Indian industry
This
project explores the question “How do Indian innovative companies
manage innovation?” The focus is on the process of innovation. We are
studying organizations across various sectors such as FMCG,
automobiles, IT, Telecom, Banking, Retail etc. In the first phase we
will identify innovative companies based on awards, expert opinion,
media reports and market performance. Second phase will consist of
secondary research with a focus on understanding management practices
for innovation. Third phase will involve detailed case studies and in
the fourth phase we will draw conclusions in the form of models and
best practices.
2. The public innovations
that changed India:
Characteristics and trajectories
The
objective of this project is to identify the common characteristics of
successful public and social innovations in India
since Independence.
By characteristics, we include issues such as the source of the idea,
the time period taken for acceptance/impact, idea champions, process of
acceptance, stakeholders playing key roles, etc.
