In highly competitive global markets, organizations compete with each-other on a deeper strategic factor – their ‘capability’ to pursue cutting-edge research, innovation and new product development. This deeper factor called ‘strategic innovation capability’ can be a source of ‘competitive advantage’.

We intend to analyse these ‘strategic innovation capabilities’ and brainstorm about how they can be built by researchers, innovators, managers and leaders, collectively.
