ISPIM

Last updated

ISPIM (The International Society for Professional Innovation Management) originated in an initiative taken by Professor Knut Holt at the University of Trondheim in 1973. [1] Wishing to initiate a modern approach to innovation management research, Professor Holt started a programme of studies on Needs Assessment and Information Behaviour: the NAIB Program.

The objective was to present tools and guidelines for practical application to product innovation processes, which was a new field of enquiry at the time. During this period an international group formally founded ISPIM and held the first international conference on product innovation management. [2] In the years since then, ISPIM has organised scientific and managerial publications, conferences and symposia.

ISPIM has over 700 members, holds scientific gatherings and produces scientific publications in innovation management research. [3]
