Finding Creative Solutions to Social and Economic Needs
Hardback
Publication Date: 02/12/2005
Innovation is synonymous with problem solving, and the basic elements of innovation apply to any business, says Robert M. Price in this essential guide for managers of organisations large or small. Distilling a set of practical principles from his forty years of experience as a pioneer in the computer industry, the author shows that innovation can be learned and practiced by everyone, that it can offer solutions to everyday problems as well as high-profile ones, and that it provides opportunities to solve business problems while meeting a variety of human needs. Former CEO of Control Data, Price weaves the history of this uniquely innovative company with fresh thinking about innovation itself - what it means to the people in an organisation, the products and the processes. He avoids simplistic prescriptions and clearly explains seven fundamental principles of innovation - innovators are made, not born; technology is the strategic manager's best friend; plus five others - and illustrates them with fascinating real-life examples.
