The first edition of Managing Innovation quickly became establised as a bestselling text for MBA and MSc courses on management of technology, innovation management, and entrepreneurship. It was also widely used by managers in both service and manufacturing sectors. In this second edition, Tidd, Bessant and Pavitt have provided a thorough update and included new material that reflects the latest developments in research and practice into the management of innovation.

"This is an extraordinary synthesis of the most important things that are understood about innovation, written by some of the world's foremost scholars in this field."
Clayton M. Christensen, Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School

"The capacity to innovate is a key source of competitive advantage; but the management of innovation is risky. The authors provide a clear, systematic and integrated framework which will guide students and practising managers alike through a complex field. Updated to address key contemporary themes in knowledge management, networks and new technology, and with an exemplary combination of research and practitioner material, this is probably the most comprehensive guide to innovation management currently available."
Rob Goffee, Professor of Organisational Behaviour, London Business School

"In a highly readable yet challenging text, Tidd, Bessant and Pavitt are true to their subtitle, since they do indeed achieve a rare analytical integration of technological, market and organizational change. Alive to the vital importance of context, they nonetheless reveal generic aspects to the process of innovation. Read this book and you will understand more, and with a little luck, an encounter with a rich example will resonate with experience, hopes and fears and provide a useful guide to action"
Sandra Dawson KPMG Professor of Management Studies and Director, Judge Institute of Management, University of Cambridge

"This is an excellent book. Not only is it practical and easy to read, it is also full of useful cases and examples, as well as a comprehensive reference to the current literature. I will be recommending it to my entrepreneurship students."
Sue Birley, Professor of Entrepreneurship and Director, Entrepreneurship Centre, Imperial College, University of London

"in a complex area such as technology management, it is rare to find a text book that combines breadth of coverage with a solid treatment of the different subjects. Managing Innovation does just that: it is a very well-designed and well-written book, a sort of "one-stop-shopping" for those interested in the area. With updated information on the latest topics and expanded coverage on more traditional ones, this second edition is bound to be even more successful than the first one"
Fernando Suarez, Associate Professor of Operations and Technology Management, London Business School
