Europe is waking up to the challenge of technology and innovation. We see a European Union commitment to spend 3 per cent of GDP an R&D, but who is thinking about how to spend? Who is thinking about innovation strategy and process? Does the corporate Board have the means to manage this spend? Should some percentage of the R&D be spent an improving technology and innovation management?

This is where this book makes a contribution. lt brings together the tatest practice, research findings and thinking, presented in a way that addresses top-management requirements. The goal is to secure the economic future of the firm, in the context of a sustainable industry and society. Using the ideas and methods in this book, the Board can assess and improve its ability to deal with the challenge of technology and innovation.
