Innovation and R&D in the global environment: the case of group Thales
by Ashok Som
International Journal of Business Innovation and Research (IJBIR), Vol. 3, No. 3, 2009

Abstract: This article builds on a detailed case study dwelling on the theories of innovation to develop, discuss and argue the issues related to the professional electronics and arms industry, a sector rarely discussed and not so well-known. Its primary distinctions from earlier models of organisational innovation lie in: the incorporation of an important-yet realistic-role innovation and R&D in shaping the direction and outcomes of dual-technology; the meta-national nature of the organisation that has its own ethical dilemma due to its multi-domestic strategy and the role of the state in a business that deals in electronics and arms.
