‘The Handbook on Innovation and Project Management strives to bridge two academic disciplines of innovation and project management written by 42 leading scholars in these fields. The book is an ambitious and innovative project in itself and it is deftly organised in multiple parts that seek to convergence and integrate, build and extend, and synthesise and cross pollinate. The final part offers a variety of cases, from system engineering to truly complex science projects, that highlight the blending of innovation and project management. One of the most impressive aspects of the Handbook is the vast references associated with every chapter, making this a highly authoritative volume for all students, researchers, and practitioners that explore innovation and project management.’
