Abstract:
While much is known about particular innovators and innovative companies, less is known about: the culture that nurtures innovation and how that culture can be enlarged so that innovation can address the global problems relying on it. Two great challenges confronting innovation for the world's problems are: (1) How can the pace of innovation be accelerated to keep up with the rate of discoveries in science, creations in technology and product development for the market place? (2) How can innovation take on the complex global challenges
