Overview & Comments
We uncover the pivotal role of people as carriers of innovation, creating value by the novel connections and inspirations that go well beyond the work of a lone inventer or entrepreneur.
We rediscover innovation itself as a powerful competitive force, particularly important for achieving the sustained innovation-led productivity growth required for a sound economy over the longer term.
By presenting papers from both business experts and academics, the Australian Business Foundation leads the way in bridging academic scholarship and the realities of everyday business experience.
