Hi guys, As part of my final year project i am investigating how innovation is affected by management and how management styles effect innovation in the work place. The virtual reality industry is the most innovative environment i have encountered; could some kind soul in a managerial position answer a few questions? Give as much or as little as you like, though more would be better  If you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, please just miss them out. Post reply here or e-mail me at RAGEdemon@NTLworld.com ================================================ 1) How many employees are in the company/organisation and how many are you responsible for? 2) What are the responsibilities and management duties associated with your job? 3) a. What do you think is the best way to encourage enthusiasm and dedication in staff? b. Does your company have a rewards scheme? c. If so what does it reward and what do the rewards consist of? 4) How much interaction do you have with your head office? 5) a. Do you have regular meetings with your staff? b. If yes, are any of these meetings to discuss new ideas? 6) How can staff contact you about work related matters? 7) a. If a member of staff has a new idea is there a process within your company/organisation for processing the idea? (brainstorming sessions, ideas box, etc) b. Do you feel the amount of time spent on developing the new idea by the member of staff would be worth it? 8) a. If someone proposed a change to a process that currently operates without any problems but would increase efficiency, would you consider it? b. If yes, would you still consider it if there was a small chance the outcome would not work? c. If the trail failed what would your reaction be and would you try any ideas from that member of staff in the future? 9) a. What would you consider the key factors that make a good employee? b. Why do you consider these factors important? 10) a. How do new ideas generated within your company/organisation affect the efficiency and profit/performance? b. From your experience can you give an example? 11) Innovation is defined by the London Development Agency as - “Innovation is the successful exploitation of new ideas and is a vital ingredient for competitiveness, productivity and social gain within businesses and organisations” To what extent would you agree? 12) a. Where do you see your company in 5 years? b. Do you think innovation will play a part in that vision? c. If so, how will innovation play a part? ================================================= Thanks guys, -- RAGEdemon Stereo Gaming Addict and Forum Regular Poor Student at University of Glasgow |
