Reviews
As organizations have downsized and worked on cost reduction for many decades now, and similarly improved their quality and service, they have generally achieved efficiency and process stability outcomes. The next battlefield that will drive the international competitiveness and business outcomes of organizations is innovation. This book, in a highly readable style, presents success stories of international best innovation practice companies, informing managers and management researchers what works, why and how it works in creating innovative organizations. I strongly recommend it to managers, researchers and lecturers in innovation. Dr John Marshall Director, Orbital Engine Corporation Limited Chair, Industry Advisory Board, Centre for Global Innovation and Entrepreneurship The University of Melbourne Managers require knowledge on how to create new products, and how to identify and capitalize on opportunities to innovate. Sustainability has clearly begun to assert itself as a driver for innovation. This book justifies the need for continuous innovation based on qualitative evidence from several best practice innovative organizations in Australia, Europe and Asia that have effectively integrated sustainable development, e-commerce and new product development in their pursuit of innovation capability. This book demystifies the misconception of innovation as a technically-driven strategy and argues that innovation is the driving force for future survival of organizations. I strongly recommend the book to practitioners and academics. Jim Landau CEO, Telatid Pty Ltd Chair, The Executive Connection Innovation is a complex process, one easily identified as being of critical importance for organizational success, yet not easily understood and managed. The book provides a good balance between rigor and relevance. Terziovski and his co-authors have developed easy-to-read case studies which have practical application at every level of the organization, and are theoretically ground in the innovation literature. I highly recommend this book to managers, professors and researchers. Graeme Cocks Co-author of First XI
