Special Issue on: "Creating the Winning Organisation: Managing
Transition as an Impact of Innovation"
Guest Editor: Prof. M. Joshi, Amity University, India

Innovators internationally create the majority of the wealth, new or a
quantum leap from what already exists, while the managers and others
tend to preserve it. This growth comes from entrepreneurs, leading to
creation of employment. These entrepreneurs bestow additional value to
old assets, while creating entirely new fountains of capital. The
question is how innovation and entrepreneurship acts as the connection
to transition management at the firm level. Both young and old firms are
engaged in the process of creating wealth, using innovation as a stealth
weapon. "Innovation velocity", i.e. the deliverables matter, as most
competing firms will be lost in the "vortex of innovation" for survival.

In emerging markets, both endogenous and exogenous issues act as driving
factors contributing to a firm's growth, and need to be closely studied.
Firms are undergoing the imbroglio of transition and therefore there is
a strong desire to augment skills in managing this change as a
consequence of disruptive and differentiated market forces.

Thus, it becomes imperative to consider how and why certain firms
continuously create and deliver more wealth than others; what is the
underlying principle in their transition process? This might lead to
interesting discussions as to why confident nations do better than
others and what is the underlying cause for such successes in creation
of wealth? Strong research is needed to explore the link between
innovation and transition management.
