Jose Fonseca

Complexity and Innovation in Organizations

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The experiences of innovation studied in this book suggest that innovations do not start with a match between a need to be satisfied and a set of competencies and tools purposefully brought together to meet the need. On the contrary, identification of need is a consequence of success, rather than a pre-condition.
