“The authors take the definition, understanding and, even more important, the practice of innovation management to the next level. Although one might think it is obviously that the digital transformation impacts innovation management, the authors are the very first[to] clearly state that the digital revolution must consequently lead to a revolution in innovation management. This book is the new ‘must-have’ in innovation literature.” (Dr. Gunther Pabst, President of quer.kraft – der Innovationsverein e.V., Germany)

“The contributions in the two-volume set describe innovative business models and new value propositions in the United States, Western Europe and Asia. They illustrate how effective adaptations to global changes are rooted in local conditions. They should provide guidance to firms interested in the development of successful strategies in a period of unprecedented technological changes and market uncertainties.” (Dr. Mostafa Hashem Sherif, Principlal, AT&T, Middletown, New Jersey, USA)
