Post by Dr. Christian Kuechenthal, MBA

It feels so good when a working day starts like this! I received the first print of our book “Innovationsmanagement der chemischen Industrie im digitalen Zeitalter” (Springer Gabler), which I wrote together with great people from different companies working in and for the chemical, life science and healthcare industries! It was so much fun to contribute with my knowledge on start-up cultures in an enterprise environment as well as managing innovation across different cultures. Thanks to Dr. Josef Glass (#execon) , Prof. Dr. Sabine Landwehr-Zloch (#dualehochschulebadenwuerttemberg), Thomas Renner (#wacker), Paolo Bavaj (#henkel), Julia Kurtz (#henkel), Marcus Vossen (#basf), Wolfgang Kleemiss (#evonik), Gideon Rath (#chemischefabrikbudenheim), Gitta Erdmann (#bayer), Simon Bungers & Jan-Marten Buch (#labforward) for the super interesting discussions and the engaging time! Also a big thank you goes to my interview partners Stefan Buchholz & Henrik Hahn & Dr. Carlos Andrés Martínez Cristancho (#evonik), Hong Wa Poon (#merck), Markus Bold (#basf), Pierre-Alain Weiss (#chemischefabrikbudenheim)! And of course, we are grateful that #springergabler published our work! Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/ee946z9 #innovationmanagement #chemicalindustry #startups #agile #culture
