International Journal of Innovation Management

Aims & Scope

The International Journal of Innovation (IJIM) is the official journal of the International Society of Professional Innovation Management (ISPIM).

Both the IJIM and ISPIM adopt a multi-disciplinary approach to addressing the many challenges of managing innovation, rather than a narrow focus on a single aspect such as technology, R&D or new product development.

Both are also international, inclusive & practical, and encourage active interaction between academics, managers and consultants.
