| Abstract | Summary form only given. After reviewing the literature, we define innovation as development and implementation of new ideas/products/processes/services by people who collaborate with others in a formal or informal order. In our study, we have found that people and communication are two critical factors in innovation and collaboration. In our view, rapid technological change and globalization of business activities are causing firms to simultaneously focus on building and maintaining core competencies and at the same time trying to address the demand for broader social, sustainability. These environmental pressures require multidisciplinary and multi-stakeholder responses and are causing firms to look for breadth of capabilities. We have argued that to manage breadth and depth simultaneously, firms are increasingly engaging in inter-organizational collaboration. The major objective of our research is to compare people and communication aspects of the innovation process in different settings. In this study we have applied case study research methodology to explore the role of 'champions of collaboration' in Canadian and Japanese firms. Our case studies show that the nature of collaboration and communication varies across cultures. In the future, we will explore how the champions of collaboration can overcome the challenges of communication in cross-cultural settings. We also explore how we can find these 'champions of collaboration' inside an organization and nurture, facilitate, reward, and develop them. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
