Accelerating Innovation

A Breakthrough Introduction to The Next Phase of the Digital Age

We live in an age of exponential technology, but this is not so new. Indeed, technological innovation has been promoted so assiduously for so long that there is now a discernible pattern to its emergence known as the Gartner Hype Cycle. Open innovation is no exception. In this book Henry Chesbrough, the originator of open innovation, examines the hype behind its practice, shows where real results are taking place, and explains how companies can move beyond the hype to achieve real business results.

"If you strive for more relevant innovation or want to outpace your competition, this book is for you." —Roger Johnson, Senior Vice President of Product Design and Engineering, Keurig Dr Pepper
