This paper provides an overview of a new new product development (NPD) curriculum developed on the foundation of what is called Integrated Innovation. The Integrated Innovation model creates a context of cognitive tension that is resolved by answering several pertinent questions.Cognitive tension is the result of trying to resolve multiple intellectual challenges simultaneously, where each challenge has equal prima facie priority. The curriculum that has been developed on the Integrated Innovation model is designed to help create a new generation of NPD professionalswho have an enlarged role within the globally competitive enterprise. This paper provides insight into the Integrated Innovation model and its corresponding curriculum. It includes suggestions for future research and curriculum development.

Innovation, the successful exploitation of new ideas, is an important driver of economic growth. The traditional view of innovation as a pipeline process based around commercialising scientific or technological invention has today been replaced by a broader understanding that innovationis not necessarily linear and reaches far beyond the production of products to be focused on successful market outcomes. Based on the authors' experience of innovation policy development in Scotland, this paper concludes that there needs to be a dramatic change in approach to innovation policyif Scotland is to sustain long-term economic growth and competitive advantage.

Universities have a synthetic style for radical innovation but an inappropriate administrative culture. Science parks, which are supposed to have such entrepreneurial culture, instead lack an appropriate synthetic style. Our answer is to combine appropriate styles and cultures intoa new arena. A modified-systems approach, based on the suggested principles, should, however, be structurally tested and compared with the current science-park model.

The key takeaways from the wide-ranging World Innovation Forum 2009 can be grouped into three themes. First, opportunities for innovation exist not only in new products and services but also in customer experiences, as the case studies of Build-a-Bear, JFK's new T5 terminal, and GlaxoSmithKline'sAlli illustrate. Second, understanding future trends in innovation requires knowing that radical innovation often takes years to be adopted and begins in populations other than the traditional users. Anticipating trends in innovation means looking for signs that people's expectations are changingand that new ideas are about to reach critical mass. Finally, biology provides a both source of innovation and a useful metaphor for innovation-related thinking, as Paul Saffo, C.K. Prahalad, Clayton Christensen and Fred Krupp described.
