Innovation analytics is an emerging paradigm that integrates information/knowledge, analytics, digital twins and artificial intelligence to support and manage the entire lifecycle of a product and process from inception, through engineering design and manufacture, to service and disposal of manufactured products. Innovation analytics is set to become an integral part of the innovation lifecycle to help make smart, agile decisions and accelerate business growth.Innovation Analytics: Tools for Competitive Advantage provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges and opportunities behind the latest research surrounding technological advances driving innovation analytics; the transition of analytical ideas to interdisciplinary teams; the development of deep synchronicity of skills and production innovation; and the use of innovation analytics in multiple stages of product and process evolution.In exploring the impact of emerging developments in the current climate, researchers and academics will be able to gain insight into real-world usage of analytics for innovation and its contribution toward society. As such, students, scientists, engineers, academics, and management professionals alike will find this title beneficial.

This book introduces blockchain technology applications in supply chains. Blockchain is a relatively new tool, nevertheless, there have been considerable advances over the last five years, and blockchain is now poised to revolutionize the conventional supply chains with the offering of accountability and quality to the wider complex supply networks.Based on literature reviews and original research, this book serves as an essential introduction to blockchain and its applications in supply chain. The unique features of the book are empirical studies to demonstrate the application of blockchain technology in food, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation and retail sectors. Each chapter includes research framework and open research questions. Simple narration of concept and detailed insights from primary research information. Use case narrative will provoke the readers to demystify the myths in application of concepts in the supply chain . Overall, the book demystifies blockchain technology, reviews evolution and outlines its future applications by blending contents to meet the expectations of both academic and practice community.
