Abstract

This chapter begins with a analysis of the term strategy and the positioning of innovation strategy as an integral part of a strategic business management with a focus on long-term objectives. First, managers must have a consistent understanding of innovation strategy. Furthermore, innovation strategy characteristics are illustrated and overcoming uncertainty is discussed from a supplier’s perspective. The chapter closes with a step by step discussion of a process-oriented approach that brings innovation strategy to life.
