Relazione
Innovation is driving economic and societal change, but it is still a myth or a black box. Professor Jay Mitra's new book dissects the myth and sheds light into the black box. The Business of Innovation is a brilliant, comprehensive tool to understand the critical factor dominating the knowledge economy in the 21st century. Sergio Arzeni
