    Innovation through Emergence of Technology Communities: Some Management Lessons
    (Chitkara University Publications, 2012-10) Vinnie Jauhari
    Networks play a key role in developing next generation innovations. Technology led innovations are led by technology developers and communities. There is an evidence of success of innovations in technology development through networking with technology communities. Some of these are formal networks and some of these are informal networks. This paper explores at some of the successful developments in the technology domains such as development of Android applications and I-phone applications. Each of these interventions involved collaborations between academic communities, corporate firms as well as independent technical professionals. The success of Apple and Android communities opens up many new research questions as both the organizations have followed a very different approach in developing new technologies. Android which is developed by Google has followed a different approach as compared to development of Apple applications. The paper would throw insights into these approaches. Some of the technology communities had a more open approach and some of the communities have a more closed approach. This paper documents the differences in approaches of development of these communities. The paper is a qualitative study which provides an insight into the differences in approach of development of select technology communities. The paper also draws leadership lessons and factors which contribute to the success of such initiatives. The paper assesses the challenges that these firms faced in developing such communities.

    University-Industry Collaboration: An Open Innovation Approach at Hewlett-Packard
    (Chitkara University Publications, 2010-04) Vinnie Jauhari; Michel Benard
    “In the pursuit of innovation, global firms try to deploy different strategies for innovation. The universities constitute a very important segment for sourcing innovation and working on pre-competitive technologies which have a long term impact. This research assesses the open innovation approach deployed by firms. It also looks at the approach adopted by Hewlett-Packard to focus on technologies which have a long term impact and developed by an open approach involving technical communities around the globe. It tracks the development of technologies such as D Space and its applications and challenges. It also looks at the strategy towards developing Cloud Computing frameworks. The other initiatives include the implementation of the Innovation Research Program spanning the universities across various countries. The opportunities and challenges associated with the open innovation approach are then suggested based on interaction with over two dozen leading academics and industry practitioners.”

    Urbanisation and Managing Energy: Opportunities and Challenges
    (Chitkara University Publications, 2013-04) Vinnie Jauhari
    As the world gets increasingly urbanised, there will be a consequence for energy generation, consumption and distribution. As the world population increases, there will be an increased demand for services- healthcare, transport, housing, infrastructure, information technology among others. The growing economies like India would have even greater challenges. The choice of forms of urbanization should needs to be assessed. What kind of cities would be sustainable is a question that needs more exploration? Walkability, compact housing, sustainable transport, alternate forms of energy generation are all aspects which need to be looked into. The paper focuses on what forms of urbanisation should India look at and how energy choices should be built in the planning process.
