About this title

Reviews

In order to prosper in the face of increasing international competition, American corporations are urged to be innovative. While this is easier said than done, it is not an altogether impossible task. Cases in point are the innovations which are the subject matter of this book, all of which have arisen within American organizational structures in the past 40 years. They include transistors, lasers, fiber optics, VCRs, and electronic banking. The book approaches the topic of innovation by examining the process as well as the product and includes a chapter on what's in store for us in the 1990s in areas such as superconductivity, fusion energy, and gene mapping. A thoroughly readable narrative of modern technological breakthroughs, recommended for public and undergraduate college libraries.

Store Description

Welcome to the Solr Books & Books4Cause AbeBooks page! We are a social venture dedicated to supporting social causes, education, and community through a business model. Books4Cause doesn?t raise funds or rely on government grants. All of our funding comes from selling a portion of used books donated to us. Our main goal is to recirculate books back into the hands of people who will read and treasure them. We support both local and global initiatives. Through partnering with the African Library Project, we have built over 120 libraries in nursery schools, elementary schools, high schools, and universities across 18 countries in Africa. Our pop-up free library program in Chicago distributes free books in under-served neighborhoods throughout the city, giving necessary resources to children, adults, and families who otherwise may not have been able to access them.
