Innovation Management Strategies and Practices to Accelerate the Commercialisation Process in the Biotechnology Industry

创新周期是一个复杂且被误解的管理领域，特别是在生物技术行业，创新周期可能长达15年。然而，管理文献提供了轶事信息，缺乏理论模型来指导管理者如何缩短创新过程。因此，本博士研究的目的是通过定量和定性研究来开发和检验创新周期模型，这是“世界第一”。预期的结果包括开发一个有效和可靠的模型来测量和预测创新实践和创新绩效之间的关系，并为教学目的开发案例研究。

The innovation cycle is a complex and misunderstood area of management, particularly in the Biotechnology Industry where the innovation cycle can take up to 15 years. The management literature provides anecdotal information, however, lacks theoretical models which provide guidance to Managers on how to shorten the innovation process. Therefore, the aim of this PhD research, which is "a world first", is to develop and test an innovation cycle model through quantitative and qualitative research. Expected outcomes include developing a valid and reliable model for measuring and predicting relationships between innovation practice and innovation performance and developing case studies for teaching purposes.
