(Marketplace complexity and dynamics create an environment...)
Marketplace complexity and dynamics create an environment that increases the uncertainty of innovation activities. In this context systematic management of innovation and product management are increasingly important for company success. This book presents the fundamentals of innovation and product management and introduces the reader to a holistic process model with particular focus on innovation and uncertainty. This integrated consideration of innovation management and product innovation within an interdisciplinary approach represents a unique characteristic of this book. The book is designed to address the needs of managers who want a practical but well-researched guide to innovation and product management. Graduate and advanced undergraduate students would also find the chapters in this book particularly useful.

I was seduced into economics by James Tobin who showed me that economics, in sharp contrast to political science which I was studying at the time, was a field which welcomed rigorous formal models that were analytically interesting and relevant to practical problems. It’s hard to imagine a more pleasant intellectual occupation than doing economic theory. The world keeps creating practical puzzles of interest and importance.
To understand them it is often necessary (or at least legitimate) to learn new and beautiful mathematics.
