Libro fundamental para la gestión de la innovación....,
By
This review is from: Managing Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Technology-Based Firms (Hardcover)
Aunque el libro es del '94, y para el ritmo de cambios que se produce en las empresas de alta-tecnología (tanto en los modos de gestión como en el uso de las tecnologías), este libro es un clásico.
Para mí es un clásico, no solamente porque es de los pocos que tratan el tema de la gestión de la innovación, ciertamente escurridizo, sino porque aborda el tema de una manera muy científica y detallada. Quizás, sea justamente esta también una carencia, la multitud de datos asociados a las opiniones de diferentes autores (cada capítulo tiene una larga lista de referencias) llega a desbordar y hacer perder la idea fundamental que se transmite. Viendo otros títulos del mismo tema (Making Innovation Work) que tratan el tema de una manera más organizada, se puede comprobar que los enfoques que ahora se proponen como novedosos, están perfectamente apuntados, incluso detallados (y con más figuras que lo explican incluso mejor) que los actuales. En cualquier caso, extraña que sobre un tema tan esencial para el futuro de occidente que fundamentalmente sobrevivirá con una correcta gestión de la innovación y el capital intelectual, haya tan poca literatura (y buena) que cubra este tema. Por suerte, la aproximación que ofrece este libro es de las mejores que existen. "Making Innovation Work" ofrece una visión bastante más en la línea del "How-to". Con una redacción más asequible una mejor estructura en la exposición. Carlos Ortega. 2006-01-30
