Globalisation of technology and the strong interconnectivity of the different nations through reliable telecommunications has given rise to a significant movement towards outsourcing and off-shoring. Further, the escalation of the cost of carrying out all R&D and innovation in-house and the availability of intellectual capital with access to global networks have encouraged firms to embrace open innovation principles even if, in some cases, somewhat reluctantly. Open innovation can be interpreted at several levels including, across people, across divisions of a company located in different places, across different organisations and across countries. Managing innovation in such a connected world is something new to several organisations. It is therefore important for academics, businesses and consulting firms to understand the challenges faced in managing innovations in such a connected world and to be able to find the solutions to harness the value that can be generated by the intellectual capital available in the far corners of our globe. ISPIM has always focused on themes that address cutting edge issues and managing innovations in a connected world is a pressing theme.
