"The development of agriculture, one by the policy, and on the technology, the three by investment, but the three most can tap the inherent potential and the future development and play a supportive role in the drive, or the science and technology 'first productive force." For the construction of an innovative country, there must be a number of world-class research institutions, research universities and innovative enterprises.

Innovation only happens when all members of the team are committed. Leaders themselves do not necessarily have to be the most innovative individual, but they must be able to inspire. 70 percent of organizations report that innovation is among their top three priorities (McKinsey Global Survey, 2007) and therefore, innovative thinking and managing innovative teams should be high on the agenda. In order to create an organization that is successful with innovation, it is important to pay attention to the company’s practices, processes and policies. These practices lead to a standard of work, but even these must be revamped to create new tactics that make it easier to be innovative.

...for: ASSOC. PROF. DR. AZIZ SULAIMAN Introduction The Telecommunications industry is currently undergoing changes due to globalization and new technological developments. Links between technologies within the technological system will change over time and affect the structure of the industrial network and firm behavior. Thus, organizations that successfully align service roles with advanced information technology can achieve comparative advantages in the marketplace (Youngdahl and Loomba, 2000). The deregulation and privatization of Malaysia’s telecommunications sector leads to technological innovation in the sector. Two forces drive the sector, namely technological innovation which drives the developed or matured markets; and technological diffusion which drives the developing or emerging ones (Telekom Malaysia Berhad, 2006). There is a need to adapt to developments in the global economy and local environment to strengthen the financial position and enhance service competitiveness (Telekom Malaysia Berhad, 2004). Thus, achieving the right service quality is important as it is the driving force for productivity and profitability. Good service could be achieved through empowerment (Tschohl, 1998) and the staff ability to produce more, adapt to changing technologies and to be more innovative. Innovation, productivity and adapt to change is very important for a firm in order to be competitive in telecommunications industry. These three elements are somehow interrelated to each...
