Our Research
Our research programme will advance the understanding of innovation in services, consider the evolution of policy, and facilitate a synthesis between innovation scholarship and policy-making in the UK. Professor Ammon Salter (Director of Research), outlines our research agenda: 'The UK Innovation Research Centre will explore the relationship between innovation and business performance and how this affects the national economy and the individual organisation. This will feed both innovation policy and pratice in various ways. It will help companies open-up to new forms of collaboration, whilst giving policy-makers new instruments and strategies to promote innovation and knowledge exchange.' This work will be communicated through the UK~IRC's public face, the Knowledge Exchange Hub.
The Research Programme
Our phased research programme includes four focused topics addressing the key challenges in current innovation research:
- Service Innovation and Innovative Performance at the Sector Level
- Managerial and Strategic Business Practices and Open Innovation
- On-line Communities and the Dynamics of Distributed Innovations
- How Does the Evidence Base Influence Innovation Policy?
These projects will evolve from Hub research and development activities. As part of this process we will use the Hub to hold ground-clearing and research development workshops in the selected areas for investigation.
