Features: To some extent, this book holds a unique significance, as it effectively guides enterprises on how to fully leverage innovation performance and enhance their operational capabilities. The author of this book, Tim Jones, selects cases that use the real-life experiences of enterprises to illustrate the necessity of adopting appropriate methods to maintain sustainable and effective operations. The Frontier of Innovation argues that innovation should not be limited to technical departments but should be integrated into the entire operational process of the enterprise. Enterprises should also no longer narrowly believe that the tangible benefits brought by innovation can be quantified, or that innovation is unsuitable for certain scales or industries and thus reject it. This book argues that if enterprises want to enhance shareholder value and achieve a sound financial condition, they should regard innovation as a powerful weapon and the primary driver of value creation. The Frontier of Innovation emphasizes that enterprises can implement innovation measures to strengthen competitiveness and also explains how the innovative capabilities of enterprises should continuously evolve. The Frontier of Innovation has conducted extensive research on how to make innovation effective. The key issue lies in how to improve efficiency through reasonable methods. In this book, the three main problems to be addressed are: 1. What is the current state of the enterprise, and what effective operational practices have been implemented in the past? 2. What are the current latest thoughts and methods? 3. How can enterprises improve innovation performance?
