Culture of Innovation; Practitioner’s Perspective - What is true in science: “publish or perish”, in the market place translates into: “innovate or die”. Innovation is one of the key tools necessary to win in the competitive economies; innovation not only in technology, but also in processes and business models. This seminar will combine some examples and general remarks from literature regarding the subject matter with examples and observations of a researcher immersed in the creative environment of one of the most innovative global enterprises – 3M Company. A need for “systems thinking” in designing and implementing truly innovative solutions will be emphasized.
