Unrelenting innovation - Gerard J. Tellis

Praise for
Unrelenting Innovation

"I would rate
Unrelenting Innovation
as one of the best business books I have read. All CEOs need to read it to avoid the incumbent′s curse.
Unrelenting Innovation
offers brilliant insights into the need for innovation and managing the risks of innovation."

Philip Kotler,
author and S.C. Johnson & Son Professor of International Marketing, Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University

"A brilliant tour de forceon how firms can overcome the incumbent′s curse and develop the culture to drive big innovations that will provide growth platforms and prevent irrelevance. Supported by case studies and a practical theory of how innovation–oriented culture is created, the book will be a classic."

David Aaker , author and vice chairman, Prophet

"A brilliant and thought–changing book on why many successful companies fail to innovate and how to overcome an internal culture of resistance. Tellis is a master storyteller!"

Jagdish Sheth , author, consultant, and Charles H. Kellstadt Professor of Marketing, Goizueta Business School, Emory University

"The risk of not carefully reading and implementing the lessons of Tellis′ relentless imagination will most surely increase the risk of organization?stagnation, if not failure."

Warren Bennis , author and Distinguished Professor, University of Southern California

"Very few people are better qualified than Tellis to write about innovation and market dominance. Drawing on over 20 years of rigorous, original research,
Unrelenting Innovation
is a truly comprehensive and deeply serious book about innovation. There is more insight and evidence here on one page than in many business books put together."

Jaideep Prabhu , author and Jawaharlal Nehru Professor, Judge Business School, Cambridge University

"Tellis makes a compelling case that firms with an unrelenting ability to keep innovating are sustained by their distinctive cultures. The payoff from sustaining a culture of organic growth through innovation is a rate of growth that competitors can′t match."

George Day , author and Geoffrey T. Boisi Professor, Wharton, University of Pennsylvania
