Inside the Innovation Matrix - Finding the hidden human dimensions (Research)
Oct 2008The latest research project from the Australian Business Foundation delves into the human kaleidoscope of innovation. Going well beyond old-school, linear stories about a brilliant inventor or creative entrepreneur, this project seeks to understand the transformative power of innovation by exposing the hidden intricacies of individuals, their networks and their interactions – the human dimensions of innovation.
This book is not about innovation for its own sake. It is about how to drive innovation-led prosperity, to enable Australia to continue to be a great place to live, work and play.
