Features: Recommended by Time, Financial Times, Business Week, and Harvard Business Review! Who would suggest that a company encourage employees to fight each other? Who would encourage employees to "dare to defy" their superiors? Who would advise hiring people who "make you feel uncomfortable"? And who would believe that "people who adapt more slowly to organizational rules often contribute more to the company"? There is only one such person—Robert S. Sutton. As a world-class expert in innovation management, Robert S. Sutton is known for daring to "effectively break the rules." After conducting an in-depth analysis of the sources of innovation in many Fortune 500 companies such as Lucent and General Electric, Professor Sutton will once again share his "crazy ideas" with us in this book.
