Description
The Continuous Innovation Network (CINet) is a global network set up to bring together researchers and industrialists working in the field of Continuous Innovation. The mission of CINet is to develop into a school of thought on Continuous Innovation.
Continuous innovation is the ongoing process of initiating, developing, operating and improving new and existing configurations of products, market approaches, processes, technologies and competencies, organisation and management systems. As organisations strive to achieve a synergistic balance between short-term oriented, operationally-effective exploitation strategies and longer-term, flexibility-oriented exploration strategies, the rapid growth of the global knowledge economy has placed learning at the centre of this critical balance.
Consistent with this mission, CINet organises an annual conference. The 10th CINet conference, will take place in Brisbane, Australia, on 6-8 September 2009. Furthermore, CINet promotes a PhD Network to foster research collaboration among PhD students and their institutions on topics of interest to CINet. As part of that initiative, a PhD workshop is organised just prior to the 10th CINet conference, on 4-5 September.
The theme of this conference highlights the opportunities presented for innovation to contribute to diverse environments. Innovation has been recognised by government & industry as the key element of economic and social development. This conference aims to contribute to a better understanding of the role of innovation in different settings & environments.
