"It's hard to imagine a more comprehensive approach to innovation than that provided by this book, and the lessons and examples are up-to-the-minute fresh. If you are interested in learning about--and then practicing--innovation in business, you have come to the right place."

"This book is a great introduction to innovation that is unique in its approach with numerous case studies and examples representing leading global

corporations. It integrates some of the important topics such as design thinking, lean start-up, and sustainability which I think are very relevant to the topic of Innovation. Student activities at the end of each chapter leveraging attached cases will reinforce learning of the concepts, tools, and frameworks discussed. Well researched and timely publication written by an experienced author, and I am sure students and practitioners will find it very useful."

- Pierre Azoulay, Professor, Technological Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Strategic Management, MIT Sloan School of Management, USA

The storytelling approach to formally introduce Innovation with frameworks to address key idea of 'how to advance innovation " is powerful. This can be a one-stop source for those who want to get formally introduced to and for practice of innovation processes."
