Recognizing that the fastest way to unlock the power of
an organization is through innovation, the College of Business
Administration at Northeastern University along with the School of Law
and the Center for Labor Market Studies has established the Institute
for Global Innovation Management (IGIM). Innovation increasingly is
taking place in a global arena and across borders. Companies need people
with the skills to manage global innovation networks and the technology
to support these networks. The Institute is the home for applied,
practice-oriented research on understanding and improving the
competitiveness of companies in the new global knowledge economy. It
combines an integrated program of research, education and outreach
activities to communicate with academic audiences, students and
corporations.
The Institute is an internationally recognized research
center for developing effective approaches and solutions to global
innovation management and for the development and dissemination of
teaching materials concerning the global challenges facing technology
intensive companies.
The Institute works closely and cooperatively with
companies to define, develop and implement an integrated,
interdisciplinary research program that investigates important questions
of innovation and knowledge transfer among dispersed organizational and
human resources. Members of the Institute provide a unique
cross-functional, multi-dimensional perspective on the issues of global
innovation through research and knowledge sharing.
The Institute for Global Innovation Management offers a
variety of ways for scholars and business leaders to take advantage of
its research.
