'The authors have uniquely captured the challenges and key drivers of the defense innovation ecosystem in the US - both its current weaknesses and strengths. The ability of our defense infrastructure to integrate talent and technology from non-traditional sources is vital to our future national security. The extraordinary pace of innovation and the growing capability of our strategic competitors make their recommendations timely and a must read for any leader and organization interested in creating a culture of innovation.'--Major General Boe Young (Retired), Commanding General, 75th Innovation Command, 2015-2019 and Army Representative to the Defense Innovation Board, 2018-2019, US'This well-researched book convincingly demonstrates the importance of bringing Open Innovation to the defense sector, while adopting a clear-eyed view of the many challenges in doing so. As innovation accelerates, our military needs to open up its innovation sources, speed up its procurement systems, and adapt its administrative processes, in order to meet the challenges of our near-peer rivals in the 21st century.'--Henry Chesbrough, University of California, Berkeley, US
