Debating Innovation: Perspectives and Paradoxes of an Idealized Concept

The book „Debating Innovation: Perspectives and Paradoxes of an Idealized Concept” provides a controversial yet important academic debate on the often idealised concept of innovation. Besides some general reflections on the innovation hype, fatigue and ethics, the pros and cons of central innovation concepts such as business model innovation, social innovation, or open innovation are presented. WIFU Professor Thomas Clauß contributes to this debate with a chapter reviewing the main benefits of business model innovation.
