Why are Some Companies better at managing innovation than others? With her pioneering book on knowledge management, Dorothy Leonard was among the first to probe the relationship between successful innovators and the way they create, nurture, and grow the experience and accumulated knowledge of their organization. Now available for the first time in paperback, the lessons in Wellsprings of Knowledge, illustrated with examples of successes and failures in new product development, continue to provide managers with the key knowledge-building activities they need to guide, control, and inspire.
