The culmination of Brian Quinn's work on managing innovation
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Quinn has long been among the absolute finest academics at helping real world managers understand the best practices in the world for managing & generating innovation. In earlier works he brought to our attention such groundbreaking concepts as the role of chaos in innovative organizations, the implications of our shift to a services based economy, and the rise of intellect or human capital as the critcal resource for competition among companies. His newest book may be his most useful to date. With his usual meticulously fact based research Quinn not only lays out the emerging tools, techniques and approaches the world's leading companies are using, he also provides breathtaking evidence of the real world performance gains that are available. The sections on software paradigms, "beyond teams" organizational approaches, and knowledge systems deserve especially careful reading, in my opinion. As usual, the biggest problem with Quinn's work is the sheer density of important new ideas makes consuming this book and putting it to work a significant investement. As a private investor, I will suggest to the executives that I work with that they make the time.
More superb insight from James Brian Quinn
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Quinn's earlier book, INTELLIGENT ENTERPRISE< was a brilliant discussion of the growing value of intellect as a factor of production in the new economy. This new one carries the arguments further, showing how an economy and a company that recognizesthe value of its intangibles can use them to produce innovation at a clip simply unimaginable in an economy of hard assets. It's an exciting vision, ably and clearly argued. --Thomas A. Stewart, author of INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL: THE NEW WEALTH OF ORGANIZATIONS
