Calls for submissions

At the core of this book series is the ambition to advance the understanding of business innovation through the integrated perspectives of three key functional areas: strategy, marketing and finance.
Innovation rarely occurs in isolation within organisations; rather, it emerges from the interaction and alignment of these fundamental domains. Strategic choices shape the direction of innovation, marketing translates innovative ideas into value propositions for customers, and financial management ensures the sustainability and scalability of innovative initiatives.Each of these areas is deeply interconnected. None can function effectively without the others, and innovation within each domain may produce different outcomes and unfold over different time horizons. By exploring how innovation operates across strategy, marketing and finance, the series provides a comprehensive view of how organisations design, implement and sustain innovative business practices.

Aims and scope

Individual volumes in the series apply this integrated perspective to a wide range of organisational contexts, including large corporations, small and medium-sized enterprises, family businesses and emerging entrepreneurial ventures. In doing so, the series offers readers unique insights into the dynamics and interplay of innovation across different organisational forms and industries.

The topics addressed reflect the inherently interdisciplinary nature of innovation in contemporary business environments. Authored by scholars from around the world and edited by an international team of experts, the series explores the latest developments shaping innovation management globally. Particular attention is given to emerging trends and their impact on businesses, markets and consumers.

Contributions within the series examine themes such as digital transformation, digital leadership, the role of social media in enterprise innovation, sustainable competitiveness, and the evolving relationship between business strategy and financial performance. They also investigate how organisations respond to technological change, market uncertainty and societal challenges, highlighting both the opportunities and the developmental barriers that innovation processes may generate.

By combining theoretical insights with empirical research and practical perspectives, the series aims to enrich current debates on innovation management and to support a deeper understanding of how innovation can drive long-term value creation.

This series will be of value to researchers, academics, professionals and students in the fields of management, finance, marketing and business strategy, as well as to all those interested in understanding how innovation shapes contemporary organisations and markets.
