Recommendation

Some 23 experts on management from academia and the private sector share their ideas on how you can take that bloated bureaucracy and turn it into a nimble and innovative machine. The book offers no quick fixes, as illustrated by the authors’ observation that innovation is a culture, and not an event. Of special interest is the included list of practices that squelch innovation. getAbstract recommends this book, which was inspired by management science pioneer Peter F. Drucker, for executives and all devoted students of the management arts.

Take-Aways

  • Peter F. Drucker defined innovation as, "Change that creates a new dimension of performance."
  • Because all complex biological systems demonstrate the ability to adapt, the notion that human beings are inherently resistant to change is probably false.
  • Trying to control everything is the surest way to stifle innovation.
