Abstract

In this chapter, We focus on the reasons why there is such a growing emphasis on innovation and entrepreneurship in the twenty-first century. Useful definitions for terms are explored, including a discussion of value—the hoped-for outcome of innovation. Attributes of organizations are explained in the context of their age and size. Finally, there is a discussion of how to position oneself for a career of driving value creation.
