He explains why experimentation is so critical to innovation, underscores the impact of new technologies, and outlines what managers must do to integrate them successfully." "Probing and thoughtful, Experimentation Matters will influence how both executives and academics think about experimentation in general and innovation processes in particular. Experimentation has always been the engine of innovation, and Thomke reveals how it works today."--BOOK JACKET UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/fy043/2002155998.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1310/2002155998-b.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1311/2002155998-d.html ER -
