Rezensionen

"The book is a product of the young culture of Workplace Innovation ... . It is an anthology ... . It has been written by pioneers, with a great degree of overlap and repetition. ... It provides a reference handbook for aficionados ... . Like motherhood and apple pie, Workplace Innovation is hard to oppose, but well worth encouraging." (Richard Ennals, AI & SOCIETY, Vol. 38 (6), 2023)
