Résumé :
Praise for Econovation

What do China, RFID food, ??libertines, and micropreneurs have in common? It's all in Econovation, a fast, fun innovation ride packed with practical advice for those who will make a difference in the next decade. Made so many notes, my pen ran out. --Brandon Rowberry, Vice President, Innovation Development, UnitedHealth Group

Econovation is that rare gem, an analysis and prescription for our economic problems done with both insight and humor! A must-read for both policymakers and executives. --Sheldon Laube, former Chief Innovation Officer, PricewaterhouseCoopers

Econovation is a brilliant read and right on the money. Steve's strategic vision is absolutely cutting-edge . . . I'm going to assign it for my executive entrepreneurship class. --Prof. Alex Sandy Pentland, founder and Director, Media Lab Entrepreneurship Program, MIT

In the past, many looked to the government to help spur innovation. But as Steve Faktor so eloquently points out, the winners in the long run will be those who innovate in spite of the government. This fun and easy read provides brilliant insights on how to keep your organization from becoming irrelevant. --Stephen Shapiro, author of Best Practices Are Stupid
