Technology and Innovation
Entrepreneurship contributes to society as the driving force bringing innovations to the marketplace. A creative entrepreneurial sector within an economy can contribute significantly to its prosperity. Peter Drucker in his book Innovation and Entrepreneurship noted that: "Entrepreneurs see change as the norm and as healthy. He or she always searches for change, responds to it, and exploits it as an opportunity."
Embracing creativity and innovation, an entrepreneur's products or services can bring
about business growth, productivity improvement, job and wealth creation, an enhanced image for
the economy, and ultimately a better quality of life for all.
Our team in this section of EDGE focuses on technology and innovation. We examine questions such as:
- How technology is introduced, developed and harnessed by firms?
- How do entrepreneurs identify new technologies?
- Modular design, processes and innovation in product development
- New product development
- Management of technology in growing enterrprises
