Create Business and Generate Profits in New Markets through Innovation! "The best account I have read about how companies can enable and support internal entrepreneurs to achieve innovation-led growth." Philip Kotler, S.C. Johnson & Son Professor of International Marketing, Kellogg School of Management "An essential resource for both private and public sector leaders seeking to align new business creation with an organization's mission and strategy . . . and achieve results." William J. Perry, former U.S. Secretary of Defense "Wolcott and Lippitz are not only insightful, they are spot on. This is exactly the book corporate leaders--from CEOs and functional executives to corporate entrepreneurial teams--need to help them navigate the exceptional challenges of organic growth and innovation." Betsy Holden, Senior Advisor, McKinsey & Company, and former Co-CEO, Kraft Foods, Inc. About the Book: IBM reports $15 billion of annual new revenues from 22 Emerging Business Opportunities. In 2008, $4 billion in revenues from companywide innovation efforts allowed Whirlpool to maintain its top line, despite global recession and the steep drop in housing markets. A DuPont business group leader, Ellen Kullman, backed an ambitious new business creation program and later became DuPont's CEO. Each of these companies has learned how to create new businesses on a repeatable basis. In Grow from Within, two leading scholars from the Kellogg School of Management explain how your company can discover the right approach to corporate entrepreneurship and make it profitable. Taking innovation to the next level, corporate entrepreneurship is the process of building new businesses within an established organization-- new businesses that are distinct from the core company but that leverage some of its most powerful assets. Grow from Within examines: The fundamentals of designing a new business The four dominant models of corporate entrepreneurship Ways to align your innovation program with your strategy Leadership requirements for developing new businesses Innovation is critical to business success and growth, but it's only the first step. Without strategically driven processes to turn insights into growing businesses, even the best ideas can fail. Creativity is often serendipitous; innovation management should not be. Grow from Within provides the knowledge you need to conceive and design valuable new businesses that breathe life into ideas and dramatically improve your top and bottom lines.

‘Two policy proposals are particularly notable and owe nothing to the long-standing controversies between left and right. Rather, they suggest new perceptions of reality and a changing sense of values. They are thoroughly radical and indeed subversive since they attack two fundamental features of modern society: its tendency to exponential growth and its assumption of continuous progress. The two proposals are zero economic growth and zero population growth... Quite apart from the question of the desirability of a no-growth society, or even the possibility that it may even be a necessity, what properties should it have? How would its social, political and economic systems function? What would people be like in such a society? What sort of culture or ‘consciousness’ would be appropriate in it?... A careful examination of the no-growth proposals helps to reveal a number of the most fundamental failings and fears of modern life...’ From the Introduction

Describes the relationship between two young boys, whose friendship is tested by difficult stituations. Rules are broken, with surprising consequences, but eventually friendship is restored. A sophisticated picture book.

This book provides a critical assessment of the current status and the likely future directions of thin-film growth, an area of exceptional technological importance. Its emphasis is on descriptions of the atomic-scale mechanisms controlling the dynamics and thermodynamics of the morphological evolution of the growth front of thin films in diverse systems of fundamental and technological significance. The book covers most of the original and important conceptual developments made in the 1990s. The articles, written by leading experts, are arranged in five major categories — the theoretical basis, semiconductor-on-semiconductor growth, metal-on-metal growth, metal-on-semiconductor growth, and removal as the inverse process of growth. This book, the only one of its kind in this decade, will prove to be an indispensable reference source for active researchers, those having peripheral interest, and graduate students starting out in the field.
