Yet, most innovation initiatives fail to achieve their performance targets due to complexity and uncertainty around customer needs, technological options, business model configurations or scalability issues.

Innovation Forum 2019.4.16 Christopher L. TucciTopic:“Putting “dumb money” to good use? Corporate venture capital as a complement to internal R&D (With Henry Chesbrough and Vareska van de Vrande)”Speaker:Christopher L. Tucci(Professor of Management of Technology, the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL))Date:April 16th (Tuesday) 2019from 16:00 to 17:30Place: IIR Laboratory 2 (Room#219) of the second floor of the IIR building Organizer: Yaichi Aoshima Abstract: The role of corporate venture capital (CVC) programs inside the firm has received relatively little scholarly attention. Do these programs substitute for traditional corporate investments, such as R&D? Or do they complement internal R&D? To further explore this phenomenon, we have developed a dataset of corporations initiating CVC programs from 1973-2001. We find that the existence of a CVC program is positively associated with the level of corporate R&D spending. We also find that a combination of having a CVC program and higher R&D spending is associated with higher firm performance, thus concluding that CVC investments can complement other corporate innovation initiatives.

Innovation Forum 2019.1.25 Ning LiTopic:“Social Network Perspectives in Organizational Research: Past, Present, and Future”Speaker:Ning Li(Associate Professor, Tippie College of Business, The University of Iowa)Date:January 25th (Friday) 2019from 13:00 to 15:00Place: IIR Laboratory 2 (Room#219) of the second floor of the IIR building Abstract:Over the past decade, social network research has been a powerful tool to understand important organizational phenomena spanningdifferent research areas, such as leadership (Carter, DeChurch, Braun,& Contractor, 2015), teamwork (Li, Zhao, Walter, Zhang, & Yu, 2015), creativity and innovation (Perry-Smith & Shalley, 2003), career (Seibert, Kraimer, & Liden, 2001), power and influence (Ibarra & Andrews, 1993). A social network approach allows organizational scholars to capture the complex and dynamic interactions among individuals in the workplace and gain a finer grained understanding of the phenomenon of interest. Moving forward, with the fast development of information technology, modern technologies have transformed the way employees work in contemporary organizations. As a result, organizations are increasingly using digital collaboration platforms to encourage more efficient collaborations among employees. Therefore, social network analysis is also a powerful tool
