Publisher's Synopsis
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man." -- George Bernard Shaw For over 300 years, the guiding motto of the Royal Society of scientists and mathematicians has been "Nullius in Verba" or "Take nobody's word for it." This insistence on questioning established beliefs, testing new ideas, and seeking new knowledge has been the source of important innovations that drove the Age of Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, and the Information Age. This book presents a series of essays on innovation in business, science, and government that have been derived from practical experience and years of academic research on the topic. Readers will find an insightful, informative, and enlightening perspective that will stimulate new thinking and personal innovation. Innovation for Innovators is a handbook to help businessmen, scientists, and government leaders to look at problems and opportunities in a new light.
