Case Illustrations

Here you’ll find a wide range of case resources that explore themes associated with developing innovation management capability. Some of the cases are fully described and downloadable, others are abstracts which will give you an idea of what’s in the case and how to use it - but if you want the full version you’ll need to click and visit the relevant website or clearing house. You can browse the cases by chapters below. We’ve used contributions from a variety of colleagues around the world to create a rich collection but if you know of other useful cases we can link to, or if you have a case you have written and you’d be prepared to share it, please visit the Contribute section of the site.
