Abstract
This book contains scientific studies that examine social psychological and organizational success factors for innovation in the digital age from different perspectives and in different organizational contexts. Scientists and practitioners will find systematic overviews, concepts, models, and empirical investigations in the eight chapters, such as how to efficiently manage research and development projects and teams, under what conditions home office concepts promise success, what determines the innovation readiness of employees and customers, and even the question of spill-over effects of supervisors with critical personality traits. From a scientific perspective, the individual studies contribute to the microfoundations of innovation and behavioral management. From a practical standpoint, the need for a differentiated analysis and design of innovations and innovation processes is highlighted. It is shown that in the age of disruptive innovations, artificial intelligence, and digital transformation, the so-called soft factors still make the difference between success and mediocrity.
