Description of the research topic:

In last decades several process innovation approaches have emerged. In the manufacturing industry, novel concepts like quality management, lean management, or currently digitalisation (industry 4.0) have been developed and refined. Research will focus on topics such as: (i) the tools and technologies of a specific process innovation; (ii) the challenges of its introduction, given that it usually requires adaptation at organizational level and is therefore effective together with other business (process) innovations (e.g., product, organizational); (iii) effects on operational and / or financial performance and / or competitiveness. We examine these innovation concepts using both quantitative (e.g., corporate databases) and qualitative methodologies (e.g., case studies). We can go beyond the manufacturing industry. There are also open questions from a theoretical point of view: how can these innovation concepts be related to the theories of management science?
