Innovation and Entrepreneurship, 3rd Edition

Individuals and organizations of all shapes and sizes create value through innovation, which is driven by entrepreneurship. Innovation and Entrepreneurship 3rd edition is an accessible text on innovation and entrepreneurship designed specifically for students studying business and management studies, but also those on engineering and science degrees with management courses. The text applies key theories and research on innovation and entrepreneurship and explains how these can be applied in practice in a much broader and contemporary context, including the corporate and public services, emerging technologies and economies, sustainability and development, and creating and capturing value from innovation and entrepreneurship. In this third edition the authors continue to adopt an explicit process model to help organize the material with clear links between innovation and entrepreneurship.
