Innovate or Die!
Companies that cannot innovate and develop new products, strategies and
technologies to keep ahead in today's fastpaced market will not succeed. Winning at
Innovation presents a groundbreaking new model for successful marketing advancement from
two world-leading experts in marketing and innovation, Fernando Trías de Bes and Philip
Kotler.
Innovation is a responsibility normally assigned to R&D departments but this is
not enough.
Companies need a systematic framework so innovation can occur at any level of
the organization. The A-F Model is a step-by-step process for developing a successful
culture of innovation, bringing together the different individuals and groups across the
organization for ideas to be created, developed and implemented. Offering flexibility, the
model allows a back and forth flow of ideas and creativity to adapt to changing
circumstances. Using this model, companies can learn how to make their innovation
processes more effective, more sustainable, and more successful.
Innovation must be a priority for organizations who want to be ready to grow and
develop in post-recession economies. Trías de Bes and Kotler present a unique model for
innovation for all companies that want to succeed in the global field.
