The book is alive with countless intimate details of internal conflicts and their resolutions, which lead to important direction shifts. It also provides an insight into the management style that assured the cooperation of all employees of the company during the transition phases."— Midwest Book Review"At last! The 'HP Way', that most famous of all corporate philosophies, has taken on an almost mythical status. But how did it really work? How did it make Hewlett-Packard the fastest growing, most admired, large company of the last half-century? Now, two important figures in HP's history, Chuck House and Raymond Price, have finally given us the whole story. The HP Phenomenon is the book we've been waiting for: the definitive treatise on how Bill and Dave ran their legendary company, day to day and year to year. It should be a core text for generations of young entrepreneurs and managers, a roadmap to building a great enterprise." —Michael S. Malone, author of Bill & Dave: How Hewlett and Packard Built the World's Greatest Company"This is important history, compellingly told. House gives us a rare look into how Silicon Valley innovates, making this book a must-read for historian and entrepreneur alike." —Paul Saffo, Technology Forecaster"This book is exceptional in its content, research, and strategic depth. The authors have lived the HP Culture, and the insights they bring to the super complex matter of product and business strategies in the late 1900s is amazing.

Book SynopsisThis book provides a framework for restoring America's innovative edge by driving the evolution of science and technology, and ameliorating obstacles and blockages that cause failures in this process. The book's perspective is informed not only by the author's decades of research on innovation, but also his recent consulting with national public research laboratories and agencies.Trade Review"Concerned about the U.S. losing its innovative edge? Read Hage's book. He offers a new paradigm that is non-static, evolutionary, and sector focused—the meso level that places innovation processes squarely at the center of analysis. Densely packed with rich examples, this book offers practical, proactive managerial and policy remedies." -- Connie K. N. Chang, former Chief of Staff and Research Director to the Under Secretary for Technology * U.S. Department of Commerce *"Restoring the Innovative Edge presents a novel contribution to our understanding of how to create innovative organizations within a fiercely competitive international environment. This book will influence the debate on how to upgrade national competitiveness." -- Steven Casper, Henry E. Riggs Professor of Management * Keck Graduate Institute of Applied Life Sciences *"Hage has written a masterful and unique book. He has taken on an incredibly important topic—national and firm competitiveness—and has created a volume that is at once rigorous, creative, and relevant. Hage suggests that sustained competitive advantage is rooted in radical product and process innovation and that these outcomes are nurtured by heterogeneous research teams and contexts. But also, these processes can be shaped by actions that span the firm, its sector, and public policy. Sustained innovation is clearly difficult and requires systematic diagnosis and action. Given its potential as a beacon on this challenging path, Restoring the Innovative Edge belongs on academics desks, in corporate board rooms, on policy makers' agenda, as well as in the managers' office." -- Michael Tushman, Paul R. Lawrence * Class of 1942 Professor at the Harvard Business School *"Jerry Hage presents thorough and insightful descriptions of the organizational elements that promote scientific discovery and innovation. Of particular interests are the clear outlines of practical steps for building an organization for innovation; specific examples of highly effective innovative teams; and details on how private-public partnerships can be pro-competitive in rapidly changing technology sectors. Jerry Hage also makes it clear throughout the book that more relevant and timely metrics are necessary inputs into the innovation process." -- Kaye Husbands Fealing, Hubert H.

Book SynopsisPractitioners and policy-makers will also greatly benefit from reading this volume, following up on the author's widely acclaimed book published in 1999 The Economics and Management of Intellectual Property: Towards Intellectual Capitalism.Trade Review'Ove Granstrand's excellent monograph titled Evolving Properties of Intellectual Capitalism: Patents and Innovation for Growth and Welfare explores how the innovation system works in advanced economics. At its core is the concept of the ''innovation spiral'' that depicts the interdependence amongst R&D/knowledge, patents/IP, innovation and economic growth and welfare. Its focus on the neglected topic of intangible assets and intellectual capital is timely. The author's focus is primarily European but the relevance of his work is global. The book is a must read for policymakers, a handy reference for managers, and a useful guide for students wishing to understand the many element of innovation policy.' --David Teece, Berkeley Research Group, US'Ove Granstrand's new book is both a broad and deep treatment of his subject. A general reader may value this original and important work for its international comparisons and its treatment of policy as well as more familiar economic issues. A reader with interest in the details of intellectual property may value the work for the penetrating questions asked in the author's research and the wealth of detail and evidence presented. The book is important in its advocacy of seeing patents as a dynamic factor influencing innovation rather than as simply having a static and protective role. Granstrand's treatment will be valuable to executive and political audiences as well as lawyers and economists.' --James M. Utterback, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US'This is Ove Granstrand's best and most profound work to date. He casts intellectual capitalism as a global system, interfacing a variety of national policy regimes. He shows why the pro-patent era is also pro-licensing, as increasing spatial and organizational interdependencies necessitate shifts in governance structures.' --John Cantwell, Rutgers University, USTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Book SynopsisThis unique and informative book highlights the relationship between crisis, innovation, and sustainable development, and discusses the necessary conditions required to seize the ecological opportunity.Trade ReviewThis book talks about a genuine greening of the economy: from the most theoretical aspects, e.g. the genealogy of ecological economics, to the most practical. The two most prominent conclusions are, for me: this greening cannot be achieved by companies alone, but can only be the result of different kinds of innovation: technological, organizational, institutional and lifestyle changes. The changes must be implemented at all levels, from the firm to international governance. - Dominique Bourg, University of Lausanne, Switzerland Crisis, Innovation and Sustainable Development is a fascinating exploration at the frontiers of economics and ecology. It combines topical surveys of current work with deep reflection on the repressed role of nature in the history of economics.

Book SynopsisIt grounds its analysis in innovation theory and a examination of patent law and prosecution, incorporating the uncertainty of patent law’s impact on welfare at a detailed level, dynamic changes, the skewed nature of patent value and the difficulty of textually capturing patent concepts.Trade Review’In this book, Alex Stack raises and explores critically important questions with respect to this body of experience: When is international patent law cooperation and harmonization welfare-enhancing? What is the role of international institutions - WIPO and the WTO - in furthering such harmonization? Stack explores these questions from a global welfarist, rationalist perspective. Using tools from new institutional economics, he explores design implications for international institutions, focusing on WIPO and the WTO, analyzing grounds for international cooperation as collective action problems and applying historical, political and transaction cost analysis. . . This book provides a subtle, insightful, and original analysis of the evolution of institutional arrangements for the international harmonization of patent laws that will be of immense value to scholars and practitioners involved in international harmonization efforts in intellectual property and cognate areas of commercial law. It will surely quickly become accepted as the seminal reference work in these fields.’ -- - From the foreword by Michael Trebilcock, University of Toronto, CanadaFor the newcomer to intellectual property, this book is a wonderful introduction to global innovation policy debates and the difficulties in identifying optimal patent strategies. For those in the field, the volume provides an engaging examination of the complex interactions among heterogeneous national priorities, demands for an efficient environment for global trade in knowledge-intensive assets, and the capabilities of various international institutions - particularly WIPO and the WTO - to foster the development of, and administer, sound international patent policy.’ -- Rochelle Dreyfuss, New York University, School of LawTable of ContentsContents: Foreword Introduction Part I: Welfare-Enhancing Harmonization 1.
