The focus of the Collaborative Research Center 768 is the design and proactive management of cycles in innovation processes. The transfer of research results to industry is very important. The 4th Forum for Industry and Science 2017 represents an exchange platform in which, on the one hand, invited speakers describe problems of innovation management from their everyday industrial life, and on the other hand, four exciting research contributions are presented. In the mean time, these research results are transferred onto a design platform accessible to the public. The balanced exchange of experience between management and industry is considered a central theme leading through the industry colloquium. Lectures by high-level industry representatives and their interviews provide an insight into everyday industrial life and the associated challenges. Research results, which were developed within the SFB 768 on the topics of knowledge management, stakeholder integration, inconsistency management and change management, are prepared in the form of interactive sessions. The joint sessions enable industry partners and researchers to collect and contribute ideas for innovation management. The results of the workshops can be found on the design platform.
