SUMMARY:Doctoral School NITIM Summer 2009 in Helsinki
DESCRIPTION: As a sixth annual event, the doctoral consortium on “Networks and Open Innovation” will be held on Helsinki with the aim to bring together PhD candidates and faculty, in order to facilitate transdisciplinary debate at the intersection of disciplines like information systems, management, engineering, or sociology through putting particular emphasis on qualitative, theoretically informed empirical research.  The Helsinki meeting will focus on ICT and Service Innovation. Service innovations are typically a combination of technology innovation, business model innovation, social-organizational innovation and demand innovation with the objective to improve existing service systems (incremental innovation) or to create new value propositions (offerings) or create new service systems (radical innovation).   For those interested, the theme of innovation will be continued on August 26-28.2009 in the annual CKIR (Center for Knowledge and Innovation Research of HSE) Summer Conference 2009. The theme for this year’s event is “Leadership and Governance Innovation”, and the conference will bring together international thought leaders (e.g. Ikujiro Nonaka (Hitotsubashi University)) with the key stakeholders of the Finnish Economy (e.g.  Jorma Ollila, (Shell, Nokia, European Roundtable)).
