Innovation research themes for our changing environment: insights from the 2019 PDMA doctoral consortium

Since its founding in 1984, the Journal of Product Innovation Management (JPIM) has published leading‐edge research on a number of important topics in the innovation domain, such as improving the new product development process (e.g., Cooper, 2008; Cooper and Kleinschmidt, 1987; Herstatt and Von Hippel, 1992) and identifying the drivers of innovation success (e.g., Faems, Van Looy, and Debackere, 2005; Kleinschmidt and Cooper, 1991; Montoya‐Weiss and Calatone, 1994). In addition to publishing research that is academically rigorous, JPIM has also focused on topics that are highly relevant to innovation practice (e.g., Brown and Katz, 2011; Griffin and Page, 1996; West and Bogers, 2014).
