In three separate but related reports Sylvie Laforet shows that making mistakes is inherent in organizational innovationsunderstanding how organizations work through such mistakes is an important key to understanding success versus failure in innovation outcomes. Volume 16 is for readers who want to go deep into how B2B relationships actually work, and frequently, do not work.
