Reverse Innovation
Autor Vijay Govindarajan, Chris Trimbleen Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 apr 2012
Multe corporații occidentale cad încă în capcana mitului conform căruia inovația este un privilegiu exclusiv al centrului, pornind mereu din Silicon Valley spre restul lumii. În Reverse Innovation, Vijay Govindarajan și Chris Trimble demontează această viziune liniară, demonstrând că viitorul creșterii globale depinde de capacitatea companiilor de a importa soluții de pe piețele emergente către cele mature. Găsim în această carte nu doar o teorie economică, ci un manual operațional care explică de ce inovațiile cu cost scăzut și impact major din India sau Brazilia devin vitale pentru supraviețuirea firmelor din economiile dezvoltate.
Remarcăm o structură riguroasă, bazată pe experiența directă a lui Govindarajan ca profesor rezident la General Electric. Autorii analizează mecanismele prin care giganți precum PepsiCo sau Deere & Company au reușit să inverseze fluxul creativității. Pe linia practică a volumului India Inside, dar cu focus pe arhitectura organizațională necesară pentru a susține aceste procese, Reverse Innovation oferă un cadru strategic clar. Putem afirma că lucrarea reprezintă o evoluție naturală față de The Other Side of Innovation; dacă acolo accentul cădea pe execuție, aici perspectiva se mută pe geolocația sursei de valoare. Tonul este unul imperativ, orientat spre rezultate, avertizând liderii că ignorarea acestui fenomen înseamnă cedarea avantajului competitiv în fața noilor jucători globali. Într-o lume în care decalajul dintre națiunile bogate și cele în curs de dezvoltare se reduce accelerat, această carte din portofoliul Harvard Business Review Press devine o resursă esențială pentru înțelegerea noii dinamici a puterii economice.

Descriere scurtă
Reverse Innovation is the new business idea everyone is talking about. Why? Because it presents the blueprint for scaling growth in emerging markets, and importing low-cost and high impact innovations to mature ones.
Innovation is no longer the exclusive domain of the Silicon Valley elite. Reverse Innovation will open your eyes to the fact that the dynamics of global innovation are changing—and if you want your firm to survive, you’d better pay attention. The gap between rich nations and emerging economies is closing. No longer will innovations travel the globe in only one direction, from developed to developing nations. They will also flow in reverse. CEOs of the world’s most influential companies agree and have cited Reverse Innovation as their playbook for the next generation of global growth.
Authors Vijay Govindarajan and Chris Trimble of the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth explain where, when, and why reverse innovation is on the rise and why the implications are so profound. Learn how to make innovation in emerging markets happen and how such innovations can unlock even greater opportunity throughout the world. You’ll follow some of the world’s leading companies (including GE, Deere & Company, P&G, and PepsiCo) through stories that illustrate exactly what works and what doesn’t.
If you’re in a Western economy, you need to accept that the future lies far from home. But the idea is not just for Western audiences. If innovation is at the heart of your company or your career, no matter where you practice business, Reverse Innovation is a phenomenon you need to understand. This book will help you do that.
