The book presents an overview of innovator training, exploring the history, motivations, and philosophies of programs in private industry, universities, and government; offers a primer on critical innovation studies, with essays that historicize, contextualize, and problematize the drive to create innovators; and considers initiatives that seek to reform and reshape what it means to be an innovator.
This book offers an overdue critical exploration of today\'s global imperative to innovate by bringing together innovation\'s champions, critics, and reformers in conversation.
Meanwhile, reformers work to make the training of innovators More inclusive and the outcomes of innovation More responsible.
But critics have begun to question the unceasing promotion of innovation, pointing out its gadget-centric shallowness, the lack of diversity among innovators, and the unequal distribution of innovation\'s burdens and rewards.
Innovation experts fuel this demand with books and services that instruct aspiring innovators in best practices, personal habits, and workplace cultures for fostering innovation.
Corporate executives, politicians, and school board leaders agree--Americans must innovate.
