MIT Press · 2025
Leaders in large organizations face continuous pressure to innovate, and few possess the internal resources needed to keep up with rapid advances in science and technology. But looking beyond their own organizations, most face a bewildering landscape of external resources. In "Accelerating Innovation," leaders will find a practical guide to this external landscape. Budden and Murray provide directions for navigating innovation ecosystems - those hotspots worldwide where researchers, entrepreneurs, and investors congregate.
