Synopsis

Innovation and Entrepreneurship explores the process by which innovation is created and proposes a model for creating innovation-- on a massive scale. Building on new research and years of experience with the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, Dr. Daria Tataj describes the dynamic architecture of global innovation networks, how these networks overlap, and how a switching capacity between them leads to accumulation of talent, knowledge and capital.

With an analysis of innovation in the United States, China, and with a special emphasis on Europe, Innovation and Entrepreneurship answers the question "Why do innovation hubs emerge, and how can this process be replicated?" If you are seeking to create innovation as a CEO, entrepreneur, policy maker, or university leader, Innovation and Entrepreneurship will demonstrate the precise mechanisms that allow innovation hubs to attract global talent, risk capital, and accumulate knowledge.
