Despite its complexity, innovation is often depicted within academic literature as a phenomenon that is innately good and always necessary. This thought-provoking volume opens up debates on innovation, presenting readers with a more nuanced view where critiques of innovation are also given place. This not to attack innovation, but to discuss its pros and cons and to give a more even-handed perspective on the field.

The book contains a number of paired chapters that present different and opposing takes on key innovation concepts, including business model innovation, open innovation, service innovation, and social innovation. In addition, the book contains some more general critiques of innovation, as a counterweight to the unreflective pro-innovation bias that dominates the existing literature, as well as suggesting new lines of inquiry. It will be of interest to academics and students of innovation, critical management and innovation studies, as well as practitioners and all those with an interest in innovation and those with a critical interest in innovation.
