Lehrstuhl für Technologie- und Innovationsmanagement / Technology and Innovation Management Group
The RWTH Technology and Innovation Management Group (RWTH-TIM) is part of RWTH’s School of Business and Economics. At RWTH-TIM, we develop theories, concepts and tools to explain and design interactions and the division of work in the innovation process.
Our work is based on the assumption of an interactive process in which internal and external partners cooperate in an integrative value creation process.

Our core areas of research include:
o User / open innovation: The acquisition and integration of knowledge on needs and solutions (technical information) to reduce uncertainty in innovation. In this process, the integration of users and customers into the innovation process plays a central role.
o Managing discontinuous/radical innovation: The situational modeling and designing of innovation processes. At this, modeling and measuring the degree of innovativeness plays a central role of our research. Especially, we are interested in the management of extreme cases of discontinuous innovation.
o Culturing innovation: The formation of organizational frameworks and cultural contingencies which influence the result of the innovation process. At this, the creation and the effects of a particular innovation culture plays a central role.
