Innovation gurus all, the authors studied contemporary innovators and synthesized their findings in this handbook. They examine how some of the world’s great, disruptive innovators, such Apple’s Steve Jobs and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, came up with groundbreaking ideas. They don’t promise that innovation automatically leads to success, but the practices they recommend consistently align with commercial achievement.
