The author shows that serendipity is almost never the reason for innovation. He explains with examples of newton, edison and likes and explains the time and hard work they had spent in innovating things they did. Innovation can only be articulated, fa...  Read More

To rise in power demands good political judgement, yet innovation requires a willingness to defy convention.



Cons

The myths of innovation reads like a bunch of inspirational talks at conferences. This result makes the useful analysis less insightful to the fundamental question of true innovation. This book is 1% inspiration and 99% padding.

    Berkun challenges the reader to consider alternative views when thinking about innovation


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There are more but this provides an idea of the thinking that we need to change if we are to be truly innovative


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    In fact the issues the author brings up are not unique solely to inventions it is true about discovery too and probably a host of other areas if i think about it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    One would think that having a good invention is enough and it should almost sell itself if it is good


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However the author points out many inventors who were ignored


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Many very talented inventors fail


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    In general it seems that it is very difficult to get people in the right places to listen


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Maybe the people who have the skills to invent things dont have quite the skills to sell the ideas
