'...the book is a fascinating compendium of thoughts from people that really think about innovation...the editors have made dipping in easy by weaving the articles with their own comments. There is also a good reference system if there is something particular you are searching for. There is an accompanying website that has on it even more articles that didn't make it into the book. Great job, good read.' Ewan R. Brown (on Amazon.co.uk) '...if you are serious about keeping up to date with innovation order your copy today'.' - Harriet Lucy Gower (on Amazon.co.uk) '...it succeeds in providing an up-to-date self-portrait for the innovation community using many voices without the stylistic, technical and temporal constraints of traditional publications. Above all, the book (and its ongoing web-project) provides a shared living platform and inspiration for members of the industrial innovation community and effectively communicates the community members’ ideas to a wider audience.’ - Steffen Conn, R&D Management
