Summary "Resolving the Innovation Paradox shows how to put innovation for longer-term growth at the centre of the CEO reader. One tool is distributed innovation. Distributed innovation offers companies two main benefits. First, companies raise revenue by using channels such as licensing and selling innovation projects. Second, companies tap into external technical know how, combining it seamlessly with their internal capabilities to develop 'high-impact' products and services. Unconstrained by internal resources, such firms gain in agility. Resolving the Innovation Paradox offers examples from companies such as Generics, Intel, Nokia and Samsung. The book is addressed to all readers interested in managing innovation."--BOOK JACKET
