Exploring new paths to sustainable development: A window into pursuing dual innovation within Chinese organizations

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

This research paper’s findings suggest that, given that the goals of incremental innovation and breakthrough innovation differ, pursuing each of these innovation types would require contrasting business strategies and resource use. However, industry insights and evidence from previous research indicates that pursuing incremental and breakthrough innovation in a coordinated way, together with implementing dual innovation development mechanisms, can create a solid base for sustainable development.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
