Innovation News

Innovation is the driver for building the modern world. (Borealis 2005)

Culture, society and economics have all changed. (Bottom Line 2005)

Change has occured at an ever faster pace. (Kotelnikov 2005)

This change has proved desirable in many quarters. (Kotelnikov 2005)

Innovation is at the heart of sustainable growth, the goal of modern society, the lifeblood of most organizations, and the core of many companies. Although the key ambition of many leading nations, organizations and firms, innovation is not always successful. But the nation, organization or firm that fails to innovate loses out on many of its available benefits. Establishing a culture of innovation means knowing what works and what does not work. Successful innovators understand the strategies that are best for their nation and their organizations. This is reflected in the daily news published in magazines and the popular press.
