Evaluate the internal processes or strategies within an organization in which you are involved, such as your workplace, school, church, or community group, in order to identify a problem that provides an opportunity for innovation. Then, determine an innovative solution for addressing that problem. Examples of potential solutions are entering a new market, implementing a new practice or process, or even changing management structures. The ultimate goal of your solution should be to increase the diffusion of innovation within the organization and contribute to a culture that appreciates innovation as a key to competitive advantage and organizational success. Please research and select a model for evaluating both the feasibility of your idea and the implementation plan. -Describe the problem your innovation targets. What is the scope of the problem and which stakeholders, both within the organization and without, does it impact? -Describe your innovation and explain how it addresses the problem. How will it meet the needs of the organization and all stakeholders involved? -How does the innovation contribute to the organizations competitive advantage? -Develop an implementation plan for effectively diffusing the innovation within the organization. Make sure the plan addresses potential resistance and obstacles, including people and processes. -Identify an appropriate method that could be used for measuring the impact of the innovation on the organization. Explain why you think this is a relevant measure. -Finally, assume your innovation is adopted by the organization. Make recommendations for additional improvements within in this organization (in processes, practices, structures, etc.) that could create and sustain momentum for innovation.

Discuss the Importance of Innovation Architecture.

In Innovation as Usual: How to Help Your People Bring Great Ideas to Life (2013), Miller and Wedell-Wedellsborg discuss the importance of establishing systems within organizations that promote not only the creativity that results in innovation, but also make it possible for employees to bring innovative ideas to fruition. Miller and Wedell-Wedellsborg argue that a leaders primary job is not to innovate; it is to become an innovation architect, creating a work environment that helps . . . people engage in the key innovation behaviors as part of their daily work (p. 4). Such a work environment must be reinforced by innovation architecturethe structures within an organization that support an innovation, from the brainstorming phase to final realization. The more well developed the architecture and the simpler the processes involved, the more likely employees are to be innovators. For this assignment, you will research the innovation architecture of at least three companies that are well-known for successfully supporting a culture of innovation. Write a 1,500-word paper that addresses the following: – What particular elements of each organizations culture, processes, and management systems and styles work well to support innovation? -Why do you think these organizations have been able to capitalize on innovation and intrapreneurship while others have not? -Based on what you have learned, what processes and systems might actually stifle innovation and intrapreneurship? -Imagine yourself as an innovation architect. What structures or processes would you put in place to foster a culture of innovation within your own organization? …Include in-text citations to at least four reputable secondary sources (such as trade journals, academic journals, and professional or industry websites) in your paper.

Analyze the major themes that have arisen from the case law surrounding quantitative restrictions and measures having an equivalent effect on the import or export of goods between Member States, and 2) Explain the legal consequences of a measure being found to be of equivalent effect. 3) Critically examine the way(s) the ECJ has tested for whether a measure may fall into this category, paying particular attention to the distinction between direct and indirect discrimination caused by such restrictions.

DISCCUSSION Consider non-fiscal barriers to the free movement of goods: quantitative restrictions, in particular the quantitative restrictions and measures having equivalent effect on the free movement of goods regulated by Articles 34-37 TFEU. Article 34 TFEU is the central provision treaty, and it is quite unequivocal in its prohibition of quantitative restrictions in relation to imports between Member States. Article 35 TFEU creates a similar prohibition in relation to exports. QUESTION. 1) Analyse the major themes that have arisen from the case law surrounding quantitative restrictions and measures having an equivalent effect on the import or export of goods between Member States, and 2) Explain the legal consequences of a measure being found to be of equivalent effect. 3) Critically examine the way(s) the ECJ has tested for whether a measure may fall into this category, paying particular attention to the distinction between direct and indirect discrimination caused by such restrictions.
