The last decade has seen an almost explosive growth of innovation. World class companies that have built a strong innovation infrastructure are experiencing high growth and sustainable financial performance; similarly, countries that have invested in policies that support innovation are experiencing strong GDP growth and improved living standards. Nevertheless, many organizations are lagging behind in the global innovation race. In Managing Sustainable Innovation, Ian Maxwell applies state-of-the art concepts and management tools to demonstrate how private enterprises, government agencies, educational institutions, and venture capitalists are combining scientific, technological, strategic, and financial resources to establish and maintain successful innovation infrastructures. Using a wide range of illustrative examples, from such diverse business sectors as IT, renewable energy, healthcare and nanotechnology, Maxwell goes beyond familiar approaches to innovation to argue that it will play a crucial role in tackling the most challenging issues that will face the world in the coming decades. These challenges include, but are not limited to, climate change, environmental pollution, fossil fuel shortages, third world poverty, rising healthcare costs and ageing populations....
Combinatorial and high‐speed screening techniques, which have revolutionized the search for new drug molecules, are now finding broader application in the chemical and materials development areas. The ability to generate large “libraries” of samples and to evaluate their performance simultaneously reduces the time and cost per sample and enables multicomponent parameter spaces to be explored. In the...
