Total Innovation Management - Introduction

2025 India National Productivity Week - 12 - 18 February Theme - From Ideas to Impact: Protecting Intellectual Property for Competitive Startups.

The theme for Productivity Week 2025 provides a crucial platform to address the interconnected challenges and opportunities related to innovation, intellectual property (IP), and productivity within the Indian startup ecosystem.

For industrial engineers innovation and productivity are important themes to focus on. IEs have to organize events, participate in the event actively and promote industrial engineering as the department, function and discipline to promote productivity through innovation.

I am collecting background material to support industrial engineers in preparing for the events of the week.

Background Material - 2025 India National Productivity Week - February 12- 18, Theme - From Ideas to Impact: Protecting Intellectual Property for Competitive Startups.

The Technological and  Competitive environments of the new century require enterprises to implement total innovation 



Since the 1990s,  a tide of new scientific and technological revolutions featuring the universal application of IT technologies and the Internet has led to a fundamental reform of the environment for survival and development, operating objectives and models of enterprises. In the networking environment, the information interaction capability has been greatly improved, thus enabling information to break through space-time limitations and providing enterprises with good material and technical support for the implementation of total innovation management (TIM). 

It is embodied in the following aspects: Information can be distributed and transferred among different regions, functional departments and positions, and all employees within an organization, thus providing employees involved in research, development, production, manufacturing and management with information and relevant knowledge necessary for implementing total innovation.


Information can  also be sufficiently shared with external suppliers, consumers, partners and competitors at a lower cost, thus technically supporting the innovation based on rapid and continuous integration of internal and external resources of an enterprise, even its global resources.  With economic globalization and the vigorous development of e-business and networking transactions, the boundaries of enterprises become increasingly blurred. 


To remain competitive in the market, enterprises have to respond to the overall demands of consumers faster than their competitors, alter the existing innovation management modes, realize the synergy effects between technology and non-technology elements, and fully mobilize employees from all departments such as production, manufacturing, marketing and services to innovate whenever and wherever possible. Only in such a manner can enterprises improve the efficiency of developing new products, continuously expand their market shares and obtain great profits.


 In the framework of total innovation management, total-round innovation is the content, total-involvement innovation is the subject, and total space-time innovation is the form of realization.


As Rui-Min Zhang said, “the world is my human resources department, and the world is my research and development department”. Each of Haier's research and development centers is required to rely on the local advantages to carry out their own innovation, committed to research and development of industry-leading products


The business mode in the Internet era requires zero distance from users. The  “end to end”  distance has to be zero.  One end refers to internal employees, while the other end is users. For this reason, Haier puts forward the transformation from “customer” to “user”, there is similarity between two words, but the meanings are very different. Customers may only have one transaction with the enterprise, who are just the consumers of the product terminal, while users will participate in the design and experience of the product, and they become the designers, producers and consumers of the product. Haier attaches great importance to user innovation and puts forward the concepts such as “user stickiness”, “user multiplier”, etc., hoping to promote the improvement of Haier's innovation capability with the help of the wisdom of users. Among them, Haier's COSMOPlat is an intelligent manufacturing system focusing on user innovation and user value,.

Total Innovation Management: Theory And Practice

This book is the research report of the 'Construction of Theory and Formation Mechanism of Total Innovation Management (TIM)' (Program No. 70372018), a program funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. This program aims to discuss and analyze, under the general trend of indigenous innovation, how enterprises construct indigenous innovation capability through total innovation management and to offer enterprises theoretical foundations and practical guidance to develop themselves towards indigenous innovation.The research results are not only the results of a three-year long research but also the reflection of the accumulated experiences of our research center in the field of technology innovation for nearly 40 years. In the field of technology innovation, we have experienced three distinct phases, namely: secondary innovation, portfolio innovation and total innovation.Total innovation is the main characteristic of an innovation-based enterprise. Creating an innovation-oriented enterprise by constructing a total innovation system is the approach that successful foreign enterprises use to move towards excellence and also the only way that Chinese enterprises have to take to become innovation-oriented enterprises that leapfrog in development.
