Territorial Development and Action Research examines the role of action research within fields such as territorial development, and innovation. Based on their own experience of territorial development processes from the inside-out, James Karlsen and Miren Larrea argue that filling the gap regarding social relations in the innovation process means researchers can engage in the processes taking place in the territory, thereby revealing how to make things work. This book will help researchers face the pressure to play a useful role in the development of their host regions. It will help policy makers continuously learn and redefine policy approaches and bring about collaboration through networks, programs and projects where researchers and practitioners in regional, local and urban development work together to construct territorial development.
In Multipreneurship, Nick Harkiolakis argues against the more commonly held view that diversification at the level of the individual entrepreneur, rather than that of the established corporation, is the wrong business strategy to pursue in times of economic crisis. The book illuminates the ‘multipreneurship’ or ‘parallel diversification’ perspective by presenting cases from around the world to highlight the success factors attending diversification and the personal and professional entrepreneurial attributes that lead to successful and sustainable ventures. In so doing, Harkiolakis provides a framework for diversification as a means of achieving sustainable development.
The Seven Inconvenient Truths of Business Strategy is an antidote to a process of strategic planning that in many organizations is often sporadic, biased, poorly articulated and rarely implemented with total success. Drawing on a fundamental collection of definitive principles, the author offers a structure for strategizing; an indicator and explanation of strategic tools, and insights into collaborative techniques for carrying out the process successfully: formation, evaluation, alignment and implementation. It will help you ensure that your strategic process is always professional, relevant and timely. A case study, based on the story of Cadbury is woven through the chapters to provide a vibrant illustration of the value and application of the various techniques and processes described.
Territorial Development and Action Research examines the role of action research within fields such as territorial development and innovation. Most researchers analyse these fields from the outside, developing a theoretical understanding of what should be done, but not of how to do it. Based on their own experience of territorial development processes from the inside out, James Karlsen and Miren Larrea argue that filling the gap regarding social relations in the innovation process makes it possible for researchers to engage in the processes taking place in the territory, thereby revealing how to make things work. This book will help researchers face the pressure to engage and play a useful role in the development of their host regions. It will help policy makers to continuously learn and redefine policy approaches and bring about collaboration through networks, programs and projects where researchers and practitioners in regional, local and urban development work together to construct territorial development. Readers will acquire a better understanding of micro-territorial development processes and the roles played by individuals and coalitions in endogenous development processes.
