NEW YORK , June 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, innovation goes far beyond research labs and Silicon Valley pitch meetings. Given the breakneck speed of change in the business climate, fueled by the constant evolution of technology, corporations have an imperative to innovate or perish.
Emerging beauty industry executives in the Fashion Institute of Technology's (FIT) Cosmetics and Fragrance Marketing and Management (CFMM) Master of Professional Studies program presented global qualitative and field research on June 8 , examining "The Future of Innovation." The research focused on infusing external points of view, as well as creating "best practice" models for internal corporate innovation culture. The research benchmarked ten industries, including technology, automotive, fashion, retail, and academia, across the U.S., China , South Korea , and Japan . Eighty qualitative interviews with global experts informed the work, with viewpoints from a diverse group of companies such as 3M, Google, and L'Oréal.

This new model shifts focus from employee output to external partner input and delivers an incremental 18 percent ROI over seven years, based on three key components:
