Reviews
Readers interested in company level accounts of innovation will find this book very useful and both the book and its individual chapters are likely to stay relevant for years. The book admirably achieves what it sets out to do. ... It is a book for those who want to know more about firm-level product and process innovation. I can certainly recommend the book for this purpose. (Paul Upham, R&D Management, August 29, 2019)
