Description
Innovation is becoming its own discipline, its own function in companies today. Established companies are clamoring for breakthrough innovation, but are typically held back by the highly reliable, repeatable processes of their management systems. But to remain competitive, medium and large companies must create an innovation function--what the authors call a "Breakthrough Innovation Capability"--that will enable breakthroughs over and over.

This book outlines a model for Breakthrough Innovation Capability based on the authors 4 year research project of 12 companies:  3M, Air Products, Albany International, Corning, Dupont, GE, IBM, J&J Consumer, Kodak, MeadWestvaco, Sealed Air, and Shell Chemicals.
