Abstract

During today’s economic downturn, innovation will be more important than ever. The sooner far-sighted strategies are developed and implemented by government, business and other agencies, the more a better world will be within humanity’s reach.

Description

Analyses the stagnation of business and state commitment to R&D and innovation in Britain, Europe and America. Contrasts today with the agricultural, first and second industrial revolutions, plus post-war breakthroughs. Reviews linear models of innovation and their critics, innovatory business models, and ‘open’ innovation
