Book excerpt: What is an innovation ecosystem? It is a blueprint for the city of the future. An environment that not only supports innovation, but makes it inevitable.

The city has become a top-ten global innovation hub, and leads the country in diversity of industry and foreign direct investment.

Combining insights from over thirty industry leaders and founders playing outsized roles in its development, the authors weave together a narrative of the formation, growth, and potential future of the Chicago innovation ecosystem. This book is a must read for anyone in search of ways to build or grow a community fueled by collaboration, growth, and innovation.

Way---How collaboration across-industry and sector breeds innovation---Why individuals play a critical role in leading and inspiring a region-wide movement

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business consultants everywhere preach the benefits of innovation—and promise to help businesses reap them. A trendy industry, this type of consulting generates courses, workshops, books, and conferences that all claim to hold the secrets of success. But what promises does the notion of innovation entail? What is it about the ideology and practice of business innovation that has made these firms so successful at selling their services to everyone from small start-ups to Fortune 500 companies? And most important, what does business innovation actually mean for work and our economy today? In Creativity on Demand, cultural anthropologist Eitan Wilf seeks to answer these questions by returning to the fundamental and pervasive expectation of continual innovation. Wilf focuses a keen eye on how our obsession with ceaseless innovation stems from the long-standing value of acceleration in capitalist society. Based on ethnographic work with innovation consultants in the United States, he reveals, among other surprises, how routine the culture of innovation actually is. Procedures and strategies are repeated in a formulaic way, and imagination is harnessed as a new professional ethos, not always to generate genuinely new thinking, but to produce predictable signs of continual change. A masterful look at the contradictions of our capitalist age, Creativity on Demand is a model for the anthropological study of our cultures of work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars estimate that about 80 percent of consumers aren t open to innovation. This characterization, however, obscures the attitudes and behaviors this vast majority of consumers. Shaul Oreg, an expert in organizational behavior, and Jacob Goldenberg, an expert in marketing scholarship, offer a groundbreaking perspective on the characteristics that actually contribute to consumer behavior in relation to innovation and change."Resistance to Innovation "looks at two streams of resistance: in marketing, the reluctance of consumers to adopt new products; and in organizational behavior, the unwillingness of some employees to accept new ideas about ways of doing things or to implement new technologies and tools in the workplace. Crucial to those seeking to introduce innovations, whether marketers or employers, "Resistance to Innovation "uncovers the actual effects of this resistance, what explains it, and what strategies might be adopted to overcome it."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1945, Vannevar Bush, founder of Raytheon and one-time engineering dean at MIT, delivered a report to the president of the United States that argued for the importance of public support for science, and the importance of science for the future of the nation. The report, Science: The Endless Frontier, set America on a path toward strong and well-funded institutions of science, creating an intellectual architecture that still defines scientific endeavor today. In The Changing Frontier, Adam B. Jaffe and Benjamin Jones bring together a group of prominent scholars to consider the changes in science and innovation in the ensuing decades. The contributors take on such topics as changes in the organization of scientific research, the geography of innovation, modes of entrepreneurship, and the structure of research institutions and linkages between science and innovation. An important analysis of where science stands today, The Changing Frontier will be invaluable to practitioners and policy makers alike.
