Pumacy presents results from a study about innovation management blogs

Pumacy Technologies AG published a list of the most popular innovation management weblogs based on an explorative study about innovation and innovation management blogs.

Pumacy Technologies AG, solution provider for knowledge, process and innovation management, is undertaking a study to explore the potential of Web 2.0 technologies for businesses. The main question is how businesses will cope with complex challenges of innovation management processes in the future? First step to answering this question is a systematic survey of private, non-profit and commercial blogs that inform about different ways to stimulate innovation.

A number of arguments that were discussed in the blogs refer to the fascination with this topic and the impact that innovation has on business success. However, new product ideas are only one side of the story. The spectrum of topics ranges from new business models to possibilities to improve particular elements of an innovation phase. Individual experiences and the open dialogue between different innovation service providers inform about recent developments and approaches for innovation management.

Certainly noteworthy is that the blogger inform about almost everything: small innovation in their neighbourhood as well as activities of large businesses to expand their current market position. It is not exceptional that big business can learn from small business. The blogs are full of experiences and outcomes of the blogger and their personal backgrounds. Communication and the networking of bloggers around the world, as a way of crowd sourcing, help that an idea is spread around the world.

Pumacy published a list of more than 40 active blogs on http://www.pumacy.de/en/im-blogs.html. The figures compared within the study refer to activities of bloggers in April 2009 such as number of postings or comments as well as search engine rankings.
