The Challenge of Remaining Innovative: Insights from Twentieth-Century American Business: Innovation and Technology in the World E
Editat de Sally Clarke, Naomi Lamoreaux, Steven Usselmanen Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 mar 2009
The Challenge of Remaining Innovative explores innovation as a complex phenomenon that may be organizational as well as technological, that operates both within firms and across the broader economy, and that involves matters not only of research and development, but also of marketing, design, and government relations. The contributors explore two main themes: the challenge of remaining innovative and the necessity of managing institutional boundaries in doing so.
The collection is organized into four parts, which move outward from individual firms; to networks or clusters of firms; to consultants and other intermediaries in the private economy who operate outside of the firms themselves; and finally to government institutions and politics. This scheme delineates a variety of ways in which entrepreneurship has persisted across the 20th century—and accentuates how ongoing organizational re-arrangement has contributed mightily to its sustained vitality.

Recenzii
"These essays collectively allow the reader to walk a mile in the shoes of corporate managers faced with the difficult task of generating and sustaining innovation. As the authors vividly demonstrate, managers simultaneously built in-house R&D labs, forged external relationships, and monitored regulatory developments in order to 'reduce the uncertainty inherent in innovation and transform it into a manageable risk."—Eric S. Hintz, Technology & Culture
"This collection of excellent studies offers a range of insights on contribution factors...The general introduction and those to each part by the editors Clark, Lamoreaux, and Usselman provide informative context and cohesiveness to this very worthwhile volume."—CHOICE
