[Editorial] 22nd special issue for the ISPIM: innovating in times of crisis

Welcome to the 22nd special issue of the IJIM for ISPIM. This draws upon papers submitted to the ISPIM virtual conference Innovating in Times of Crisis held in June 2020. From this pool of more than 300 potential papers, twelve were selected for further review, and the six papers published in this issue are the results subsequent review and revision. The range of topics spans many of the current core challenges in innovation management (Tidd and Bessant, 2021), including process innovations, experimentation, corporate ventures and collaboration, which transcend the simple linear model of product development which still dominates the field in mainstream business and management research and practice (Tidd, 2021).
