Synopsis
Over the last 2,000 years, critical innovations have transformed various small regions into global powers. But they have faded when they did not embrace the next big innovation. Gerard J. Tellis and Stav Rosenzweig argue in 'How Transformative Innovations Shaped the Rise of Nations' that openness to new ideas and people, competition and empowerment of individuals are key drivers in the development and adoption of transformative innovations., The first thesis of 'How Transformative Innovations Shaped the Rise of Nations' is that economic growth, national dominance and global leadership are fueled primarily by embracing innovations, in particular transformative innovations. A transformative innovation is one that changes the lives of people, reshapes the structure of society, disrupts the balance of power within and among nations, and creates enormous wealth for its sponsors. The adoption of a transformative innovation spawns numerous other related or consequent innovations. It provides a competitive advantage to a nation and may propel a small, backward region to world leadership in as short a time as a century. Further, the transformative innovation can sometimes itself promote the positive environment that leads to further innovations. Thus, embracing innovation can start a positive cycle of wealth creation, economic dominance and a positive environment for further innovation. This positive cycle continues as long as the environment that spawned the innovation remains supportive or until another transformative innovation arises elsewhere. The second thesis of 'How Transformative Innovations Shaped the Rise of Nations' is that innovation is not adopted randomly across time and nations. Rather, it is sustained by an environment characterized by key institutional drivers within a country or region, three of the most important of which are openness to new ideas, technologies and people, especially immigrants; empowerment of individuals to innovate, start businesses, trade and keep rewards for these activities; and competition among nations, patrons, entrepreneurs or firms. Geography, resources, climate, religion and colonization probably played a role as well. However, past treatments of the rise of nations have overemphasized the role of these other factors; they have downplayed or ignored the role of innovations and the institutional drivers that led to their development and adoption.

    Item felt like new quality to me, but it was not sealed (not a problem for me though). Pages are perfect, cover looks untouched, item was packaged efficiently. Just like Vol. 3, delivery took a couple days longer for this one than the time eBay initially gave me, though that was likely because I ordered several comics at the same time from this seller. Would buy from AlibrisBooks again.

Shipping took longer than the time eBay initially gave me, though that might've been because I ordered several comics at the same time from this seller. AlibrisBooks has proven to be quite reliable.
