Leaders in large organizations face continuous pressure to innovate, and few possess all the internal resources needed to keep up with rapid advances in innovation, science, and technology. But looking beyond their own organizations, most face a bewildering landscape of external resources.

Authors Phil Budden and Fiona Murray provide directions for navigating innovation ecosystems—those hotspots worldwide where researchers, entrepreneurs, and investors congregate.
