"A finely tuned collection of significant articles on innovation by one of its foremost students. Must reading for all managers of research and technology."
--Michael F. Wolff, editor, Research-Technology Management

"Ed Roberts's wonderful compilation of articles shows you why
successful innovation requires both teamwork and vision and how to pull off this seemingly impossible combination in both large and small organizations."
--Ray Kurzweil, winner of the National Medal of Technology, CEO of KurzweilAI.net, and author of The Age of Spiritual Machines

"With new products and processes, economic growth can go on forever. Innovation lies at the heart of our economic success. No one understands the complex forces that underlie the innovation process better than Ed Roberts, and he has assembled in this book a wonderful array of those insights. Managerial leaders and academics alike will benefit from this set of unique readings."
--Lester Thurow, Lemelson Professor of Management and Economics and

4.0 out of 5 stars A useful compilation, October 5, 2003
By 
Bill Godfrey (Mt Stuart, TAS Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Innovation: Driving Product, Process, and Market Change (Paperback)
A compilation of 12 articles first published in the MIT Sloan Management Review between 1993 and 2002, arranged in three parts:

Innovating from the Inside
Innovating with the Outside
New Dimensions for Innovation

The articles are all of good quality and collectively cover most of the core issues of successful innovation other than a specific focus on the culture of the organization (culture is discussed within many of the articles but not as an issue in itself).

4.0 out of 5 stars A useful collection of articles, February 18, 2003
By 
Bill Godfrey (Mt Stuart, TAS Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Innovation: Driving Product, Process, and Market Change (Paperback)
This is an edited collection of articles originally published in the MITSloan Management Review, mostly between 2000 and 2002, but with one from 1993. As the title implies, they are mostly concerned with innovations in product range, process and markets, but some touch on culture and there is substantial discussion of strategic partnerships and mergers. The focus is on managed sustaining innovation (extending and expanding existing ranges) rather than disruptive innovation (replacement of product ranges and markets, typically through technological change). It is a useful collection, with articles of a high quality in their field of interest.
