In my research, one of the main advantages of corporate research is that special space it occupies between day to day news and overarching organisational theory. The research presents itself in various formats: white papers, case studies, future projections, best practices; but at the end of the day, the main purpose is to show what works and what does not for a a given company in a given market. With the more amusing ones, you get to read the next. big. plan. for world domination say in artificial meat cook books.
Here I am putting together a list of online resources that is by no means exhaustive, but that I find useful in understanding technology innovation from the organisational perspective:
Consulting
Tech
- Forrester
- IBM Services R&D and Innovation Outlook
- Microsoft Research and Microsoft Open Source
- Sun R&D + Open Source
Multi-nationals
More coming…
