Full Description
Innovation is both the creative and the destructive force at the centre of economic development. It is perhaps the best explanation of current human prosperity yet core to some of our most pressing societal problems. But how does innovation come about? How does it get managed in organizations? Moving from the most foundational ideas to the most cutting-edge debates in the field, this book serves as an invaluable companion to the field of innovation management. Each chapter summarises, discusses and critiques key academic texts, relating them to specific themes and connecting them to broader discussions in the field. Through this unique format, readers will gain insights into the important ideas and debates about innovation, how to manage it, and what it means for business and society. This book also brings interdisciplinary perspectives from economics, sociology, psychology, history and management into the conversation about how to think about innovation scientifically.
