  1. ORGANIC – • the EU Leonardo da Vinci Programme Project • Dr. Richard MESSNARZ (ISCN, Austria-Ireland), • Dr. Alexander E. BERIOZKO (EDNES, France)

  2. Problem / Need • Without continuous innovation the lifetime of businesses is limited • Global competition forces to apply continuous innovation • Innovation has become a distributed multi-cultural learning process (in an expanding EU)

  3. Research Objectives • EU Leonardo Project ORGANIC • Using previous studies to analyse, define and disseminate skills needed by innovation managers now-a-days • Using the experiences from Europe wide studies to provide a training and key success factor list for innovation managers • Focus: Learning and innovation in a distributed and multicultural, and competitive industrial world

  4. Innovative Organizations • Study of 50 innovative regions in the EU with 200 innovative companies (1998) • by Dr. MacCarthy • How the innovative organizations operate? • How the individuals in the organizations respond to continuous change? • Main findings: Innovative Organisations ... • invest time and money into the understanding of the fundamentals of the forces of change • understand the different cultures through personal contacts using networking at a personal level • study trends and they are always up-to-date • concentrate their energy in areas where they excel or where no one else can operate • outsource all other non-core activities • are practical users of information technologies and have information technology strategies in place
