Journal Introduction： This interdisciplinary journal encompasses all facets of technological innovation. Innovation is considered from both the perspectives of process and product, social innovations (regulation and policy as well as creation of non-economic benefit), conceptualization of a new technology-based product or process through commercial utilization. Topics include technological trends and breakthroughs; capital for new product development and commercialization; displacement of existing products, management of technology-intense entrepreneurial ventures; management of technological innovation in medium-sized and large organizations; appropriate organizational structures and practices; investment strategies related to new science-based or technology-based enterprises; the technological innovator as an entrepreneur, team-member, manager or employee; technology transfer to, from and between developing countries; technological innovation in all forms of: enterprise, political and economic systems.

Journal Introduction： IEEE Access hosts special sections that highlight a specific topic of general IEEE interest. Associate editors propose a concentration area that emphasizes applications-oriented and interdisciplinary topics. Together with the editorial staff a "Call for Papers" is then sent to academic and industrial researchers soliciting the submissions of manuscripts that identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results on the topic of that section.

Journal Introduction： R & D Management publishes articles which address the interests of both practising managers and academic researchers in R & D and innovation management. Covering the full range of topics in research, development, design and innovation, and related strategic and human resource issues - from exploratory science to commercial exploitation - articles also examine social, economic and environmental implications.

Journal Introduction： The Journal of Business Research aims to publish research that is rigorous, relevant, and potentially impactful. Recognizing the intricate relationships between the many areas of business activity, JBR examines a wide variety of business decision contexts, processes and activities, developing insights that are meaningful for theory, practice, and/or society at large. Its research is intended to generate meaningful debates in academia and practice, that are thought provoking and have the potential to make a difference to conceptual thinking and/or practice. Published for a broad range of stakeholders, including scholars, researchers, executives, and policy makers, the Journal aids the application of its research to practical situations and theoretical findings to the reality of the business world as well as to society.

Journal Introduction： IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management (IEEE-TEM) is a journal of the Technology and Engineering Management Society of IEEE, published quarterly since 1954.

It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications and short notes, and there is no restriction on the length of the papers.

Journal Introduction： The Journal of Product Innovation Management (JPIM) is an interdisciplinary, international journal that seeks to advance our theoretical and managerial knowledge of innovation management and product development. The journal publishes original articles on organizations of all sizes (start-ups, small to medium sized enterprises, large corporations) and from the consumer, business-to-business, and policy domains. The journal is receptive to all types of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, as well as conceptual articles. Authors across the world from diverse disciplines and functional perspectives are welcome to submit to the journal.

Journal Introduction： Creativity and Innovation Management fills a crucial gap in management literature between the theory and practice of organizing imagination and innovation. It gives managers insights into introducing innovation within their organizations and accelerating the development of creative performance in their staff. The journal's central consideration is how to challenge and facilitate creative potential, and how then to embed this into results-orientated innovative business development. Creativity and Innovation Management bridges the gap between the theory and practice of organizing imagination and innovation. The journal’s central consideration is how to challenge and facilitate creative potential, and how then to embed this into results-oriented innovative business development. The creativity of individuals, coupled with structured and well-managed innovation projects, creates a sound base from which organizations may operate effectively within their inter-organizational and societal environment. Today, successful operations must go hand in hand with the ability an anticipate future opportunities. Therefore, a cultural focus and inspiring leadership are as crucial to an organization’s success, as efficient structural arrangements and support facilities. This is reflected in the journal’s contents.

Journal Introduction： ‘Innovation...consists in the purposeful and organized search for changes, and in the systematic analysis of the opportunities such changes may offer’ (Drucker, 1985, 49). The European Journal of Innovation Management offers a forum for the rapid dissemination of pragmatist research in the field of innovation studies. Within this context, practice is part of the learning process, where change (through rigorous and invariably evidence-based research) in existing frameworks, models and methods yields new ideas in process of continuous discovery. The Journal publishes research on all aspects of innovation (viewed here broadly to include not only product / service and process but also market, and organization) management in organizational contexts. This includes the study of the process in its entirely or individual stages, issues around accessing and using effectively tangible and intangible resources, innovation strategies, different tools used to manage innovation, the impact of industrial, regional, and national factors, and implications on performance. The European Journal of Innovation Management welcomes particularly work that explores innovation management in new contexts (such as - but not only - services, public sector organizations, and social and community enterprises (social innovation)), at one or multiple levels (including team or project, organizational, regional, national and international). Papers that appear in the EJIM, though often grounded on rigorous empirical research, should be explicit about implications for theory and practice. Thus, authors should ensure that contribution to the state-of-the-art is clearly articulated. The journal is open to researchers at all stages of their careers; however, it aspires to recognize the role of new voices in innovation studies.
