In this new edition, alongside planned content updates, the authors plan to focus on the needs of academic faculty, helping to minimize the time and effort involved in the preparation, delivery and assessment of a course on innovation.

Integral case studies will also be included which cross themes and chapters. A fully revised and searchable toolkit wiill be available together with an Innovation App. A new innovation portal at www.innovation-portal.info provides access to an impressive range of cases, tools and video that bring innovation to life.
