Education often struggles to keep up with the pace of changes in the global economy- and technology-driven world. This issue can be seen especially in the education of innovation management. Even if the current pace with which education in general is adapting to these changes remains the same, the intensifying change dynamics imposed by accelerating technological development, labor market changes, population aging, and environmental challenges will simply outpace the education system's adaptability. This chapter aims to identify and describe emerging trends that will most likely put additional pressures on innovation management education in the short- and mid-term. Based on the presented change-driving trends, a concept of a future-oriented innovation management course will be presented. Additionally, the hypothetical implementation of the innovation management course concept will be presented. In the conclusion, the challenges that innovation management education should address will be outlined and discussed.

The Future

The need to improve labor market participation of older people has gained heightened attention in recent years, especially in view of the significant demographic changes the European Union will undergo due to population aging. Besides the macroeconomic level, the implications of this trend are very present on the company level, especially through managing the aging workforce. Companies are thus introducing new approaches, policies and instruments which are supposed to foster higher employment rates of elderly through implementing active aging concept into business and HRM practice. The aim of this paper is to highlight the development of active aging initiatives within Slovenian companies where the practice of age management is still in its early stage. However, we expect that due to the aging population and the shortages on the labor market one can expect that those practices will receive more and more attention in the future. Because of age discrimination, and a longstanding culture of early exit from employment, many organizations in Slovenia, both the workplace and the community, have no experience in positively targeting older workers. Therefore, those looking to respond to workforce aging usually start from a low or non-existent base. Moreover, Slovenian employers are still often reluctant to employ older workers, either because of age stereotypes or because of some very reasonable dilemmas concerning personnel economics. With the aim to help beginners, we have developed a conceptual model, thus providing a useful base for further development of company-specific age management model that suits to the company needs the most. A key message of this paper is that when it comes to good practice, even very small changes can have a positive impact. The paper concludes with some recommendations for the future development of active aging practice, with an emphasize on new HRM approaches, policies and instruments which seem to be of extreme importance when striving to prolong working life.

Scientific And Technological Development

Throughout history the development of the countries has been generated mainly by the impulse in two complementary axes: Science and Technology, and Trade. At present we are experiencing an exponential scientific and technological development and the Economy in all its fronts is driven by the intensive application of technology. According to these considerations, this research tries to expose the development of Innovation Management as a transversal mechanism to promote the different socioeconomic areas and especially those supported by engineering. To this end, use will be made of Technology Watch in order to identify the advances of the main research centres related to innovation in the world. Next, there will be an evaluation of the main models of Innovation Management and related methodologies that expose some of the existing Innovation Observatories in the world to finally make a proposal for Innovation Management applicable to the reality of Peru, so that it can be taken into consideration by stakeholders (Government, Academy, Business and Civil Society) committed to Innovation Management in the country

The ongoing COVID-19 outbreak pandemic is now a global crisis. It has caused 1.6+ million confirmed cases and 100 000+ deaths at the time of writing and triggered unprecedented preventative measures that have put a substantial portion of the global population under confinement, imposed isolation, and established ‘social distancing’ as a new global behavioral norm. The COVID-19 crisis has affected all aspects of everyday life and work, while also threatening the health of the global economy. This crisis offers also an unprecedented view of what the global climate crisis may look like. In fact, some of the parallels between the COVID-19 crisis and what we expect from the looming global climate emergency are remarkable. Reflecting upon the most challenging aspects of today’s crisis and how they compare with those expected from the climate change emergency may help us better prepare for the future.
