El sentido de la palabra innovación ha cambiado mucho en los últimos 150 años, pasando de tener connotaciones negativas a ser la aparente panacea para la solución de la mayoría de los problemas de nuestra sociedad. Innovar afecta a numerosos ambitos sociales como la economia, el empleo o la sostenibilidad, de ahi que los gobiernos desarrollen politicas para favorecer los procesos innovadores en sus territorios. Esta obra describe la evolucion del concepto y ofrece ejemplos de sus diversos tipos; analiza como innovan las empresas y explica los procesos de innovacion, en los que las personas, las organizaciones y el contexto son actores esenciales. Asimismo, muestra una explosion de iniciativas innovadoras cada vez mas sociales y participativas, pues la innovacion deberia contribuir a satisfacer las necesidades economicas sin arruinar este mundo nuestro tan sensible y complejo.
