This book presents an analysis of the nature and importance of innovation and the strategies and practices that can be used to improve organizational benefits from innovation. For business and national competitiveness, and for the quality and standard of living around the world, innovation is centrally important but it does not happen by itself. With contributions from 49 world-leading scholars, the text explores the many sources of innovation, the broader social, economic, and technological contexts that encourage and constrain it, and the cutting-edge strategies and practices of innovation management.
