Managing Innovation from the Land of Ideas and Talent

The reader of this book will get a unique 10-year case study of an organization, written by two authors who have spent all the ten years at crucial positions of this company. To avoid a complete inside-out, many interviews are currently under way, from senior architects and developers outside of India to Top managers, including Board Members, who were involved in the set-up and growth of SAP labs. This case study will go beyond a mere description of the history, every chapter will focus on a specific set of challenges SAP Labs had experienced, may it be the initial trust building, cultural understanding, scaling experience, innovation or challenges on the job market. As such, the book gives insights for readers of any kind of organization, independent of the life cycle phase their organization is in distributing work to India, working with Indian teams or in its Globalization at large. Hands-on examples and stories will tell the learning in an easy to read, interesting, yet very relevant way.
