Innovation is thought to be essential in the context of public procurement for a variety of reasons, chief among them the potential for enhanced technologies, improved productivity, and greater inclusion. Still, more insight has been needed that connects scholarly work and practice. Dolores Kuchina-Musina and Benjamin D. McMartin make significant inroads in addressing this need - offering an exciting new text that is concise but still informative, inviting readers to consider procurement innovation concepts along with useful case examples. Dr. Christopher L. Atkinson, Associate Professor, University of West Florida
