The Future and How to Prevent It --Notes --References --IndexTimely, compelling, and certain to be controversial-a deeply researched study that reveals how companies and policy makers are hindering innovation-led growth Conventional wisdom holds that Western economies are on the threshold of fast-and-furious technological development. Fredrik Erixon and Bjorn Weigel refute this idea, bringing together a vast array of data and case studies to tell a very different story. With expertise spanning academia and the business world, Erixon and Weigel illustrate how innovation is being hampered by existing government regulations and corporate practices. Capitalism, they argue, has lost its mojo. Assessing the experiences of global companies, including Nokia, Uber, IBM, and Apple, the authors explore three key themes: declining economic dynamism in Western economies; growing corporate reluctance to contest markets and innovate; and excessive regulation limiting the diffusion of innovation. At a time of low growth, high unemployment, and increasing income inequality, innovation-led growth is more necessary than ever. This book unequivocally details the obstacles hindering our future prosperity.Technological innovationsEconomic aspectsTechnological innovationsSocial aspectsLaborCapitalismTechnological innovationsEconomic aspects.Technological innovationsSocial aspects.Labor.Capitalism.338/.064Erixon Fredrikauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1209951Weigel Björnauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910798741003321The innovation illusion3751662UNINA
