Completion of the "TANDEM" project and publication of the final volume "Innovating in demographic change: methods and concepts for modern innovation management"
The "TANDEM" research project launched in August 2011, which was coordinated by the University of Kassel under the direction of Prof. Dr. Jan Marco Leimeister and Prof. Dr. Sandra Ohly (Department of Business Psychology) and carried out jointly with the affiliated institute of the Technical University of Munich (Prof. Dr. Helmut Krcmar - Fortiss) and the Leipzig Graduate School of Management (Prof. Dr. Kathrin Möslein - CLIC - Center for Leading Innovation & Cooperation), has now been completed.
The task of the project was to develop methods, models and tools for systematic innovation management that transcends age boundaries and to make this available for the software and medical technology industry.
Through the formation of age-diversified teams (TANDEMs), an exchange of experience between the academic knowledge of young, less experienced employees and the experience of older, more experienced employees should take place and thus improve the innovation activities of companies against the background of demographic change.
As part of this research project, the book "Innovating in Demographic Change: Methods and Concepts for Modern Innovation Management" by Prof. Dr. Jan Marco Leimeister, Prof. Dr. Helmut Krcmar, Prof. Dr. Kathrin Möslein and Prof. Dr. Sandra Ohly has now been published.
Brief description:
The authors of this anthology present new methods and concepts on how companies can successfully combine the knowledge of younger and older employees and thus generate successful innovations under the changed conditions of demographic change. Within the joint project TANDEM, age-diverse communities were initiated, which are recruited from young and old employees of a company and jointly generate, evaluate and implement innovations as part of joint development projects.
The book is now available in stores and at the following link:
