Scalable Innovation: A Guide for Inventors, Entrepreneurs, and IP Professionals
Autor Eugene Shteyn, Max Shteinen Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 iun 2013
The book is organized into four sections:
- Prologue exposes key barriers to creativity and innovation. It provides telling examples of how years in school and at work make us accept common wisdoms that are likely to hurt our chances to create or take advantage of breakthrough innovations.
- Section I introduces a system model for understanding technology and solving problems. It shows how to connect the model with real-life solutions, including their reflection in patents.
- Section II introduces tools for thinking outside the box, considers the role of luck in success of inventions, and presents tools for flexible thinking and imagination development.
- Section III discusses system dynamics, including how the elements of systems evolve, creating space for invention and scalable innovation. The authors illustrate this with case studies from various industries and technology areas. They analyze several landmark innovations in detail, revealing surprising and essential elements common to all of them.

Notă biografică
Eugene Shteyn teaches Principles of Invention and Innovation, The Greatest Innovations of Silicon Valley, The Patent Paradox, and Model-based Invention and Innovation at the Stanford University Continuing Studies Program. His innovation work, first as a principal scientist at Philips Research, then as a director of IP licensing at Hewlett-Packard, is embodied in high-tech products and represented in industry standards such as DVD, UPnP, and DLNA. Eugene holds 28 US patents and is a named inventor on more than 50 patents pending. He also founded Invention Spring, LLC, an invention development and innovation management consulting company whose clients include Fortune 500 companies (Apple, IBM, Roche) as well as many Silicon Valley startups.
Max Shtein is an associate professor at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in materials science and engineering, chemical engineering, applied physics, as well as art and design. He teaches courses that include quantum mechanics, solid state physics, engineering and multi-disciplinary design, organic electronics, and most recently courses on emerging technology, creativity, and innovation. He also directs a research group working on flexible electronics and energy conversion in novel materials.
