Praise for Fourth Generation R&D "A sweeping and insightful analysis of an architecture for innovation in the knowledge economy. Technologists, strategists, and organizational architects will all find this book worth reading, as will students of the modern organization." - John Seely Brown Chief Scientist, Xerox Corporation "The new realities of competition beg a new approach to innovation and R Fourth Generation R&D answers that challenge. With lucid arguments and detailed case studies, Fourth Generation R&D sketches a powerful new paradigm for planning and managing innovation. Every manager concerned with innovation and its role as a strategic resource - that's to say, every manager - will profit from this new understanding." Lawrence Wilkinson President, Global Business Network "Fourth Generation R&D is a tour de force. Its sweep, depth, and use of graphics are all truly remarkable (not to mention its command of the literature on innovation). The distinctions it draws between continuous and discontinuous innovation - and between tacit and explicit knowledge - are fundamental." - John Yochelson President, The Council on Competitiveness

Industry Reviews

Miller is from Steelcase, an organization that has won numerous awards for its products and services after it redefined the role of R&D to drive innovation throughout the organization. The book describes how this was achieved and outlines the framework and techniques used to implement the new strategy. These techniques include knowledge aggregation, organizational development methods for distributing R&D, systematically capturing and distributing information, creating a context and culture to drive R&D, and the benchmarks and performance results that support the approach.
