European Journal of Innovation Management

‘Innovation … consists in the purposeful and organized search for changes, and in the systematic analysis of the opportunities such changes may offer’ (Drucker, 1985, 49).The European Journal of Innovation Management offers a forum for the rapid dissemination of pragmatist research in the field of innovation studies. Within this context, practice is part of the learning process, where change (through rigorous and invariably evidence-based research) in existing frameworks, models and methods yields new ideas in a process of continuous discovery.The Journal publishes research on all aspects of innovation (viewed here broadly to include not only product/service and process but also market, and organization) management in organizational contexts. This includes the study of the process in its entirety or individual stages, issues around accessing and using effectively tangible and intangible resources, innovation strategies, different tools used to manage innovation, the impact of industrial, regional, and national factors, and implications on performance. The European Journal of Innovation Management welcomes particularly work that explores innovation management in new contexts (such as – but not only – services, public sector organizations, and social and community enterprises (social innovation)), at one or multiple levels (including team or project, organizational, regional, national and international).Papers that appear in the EJIM, though often grounded on rigorous empirical research, should be explicit about implications for theory and practice. Thus, authors should ensure that contribution to the state-of-the-art is clearly articulated.The journal is open to researchers at all stages of their careers; however, it aspires to recognize the role of new voices in innovation studies.

“创新……在于有目的、有组织地寻找变化，并系统地分析这些变化可能提供的机会”(德鲁克，1985,49)。《欧洲创新管理杂志》为创新研究领域的实用主义研究提供了一个快速传播的论坛。在这种背景下，实践是学习过程的一部分，在这个过程中，对现有框架、模型和方法的更改(通过严格且始终基于证据的研究)会在不断发现的过程中产生新的想法。该杂志出版了关于创新的所有方面的研究(在这里广泛地看不仅包括产品/服务和过程，而且还包括市场和组织)在组织上下文中的管理。这包括研究整个或个别阶段的过程、围绕有效获取和使用有形和无形资源的问题、创新战略、用于管理创新的不同工具、工业、区域和国家因素的影响以及对绩效的影响。《欧洲创新管理杂志》特别欢迎在一个或多个层次(包括团队或项目、组织、区域、国家和国际)探索创新管理的新环境(例如，但不仅限于服务、公共部门组织、社会和社区企业(社会创新))。发表在EJIM上的论文，虽然通常建立在严格的实证研究基础上，但应该明确理论和实践的含义。因此，作者应确保对最先进技术的贡献得到明确说明。该杂志对处于职业生涯各个阶段的研究人员开放;然而，它渴望认识到新声音在创新研究中的作用。
