Summary

"An innovative book for an innovative topic." Charles Hampden-Turner Like the subject matter it covers, Clusters of Creativity is innovative and original. It breaks with popular interpretations of Silicon Valley and similar regions, which range from the hyperbolically laudatory to the contemptuously dismissive, and takes a critical, objective look at the lessons that these locations provide about innovation and entrepreneurship. Readable, yet rigorous in its analyses, the book provides a practical and balanced set of perspectives on how the powers of business creativity are fostered and sustained. It focuses not so much on the generations of high technologies but on the motivations and strategies of business leaders who turn revolutionary innovations into commercial realities. Clusters of Creativity demystifies the many enigmas that surround two leading capitals of the modern global economy, providing insights on managing innovation and entrepreneurship that are both eye-opening and broadly applicable to all organizations and industries. Clusters of Creativity will challenge assumptions, dispel myths, enlighten, inspire, and generally provoke thought. In an age where technology and hyperbole frequently go hand-in-hand, the book's well-founded insights are all the more refreshing and important.

Reader reviews for Clusters of Creativity: Enduring Lessons on Innovation and Entrepreneurship from Silicon Valley and Europe's Silicon Fen

From the publisher

Silicon Valley ist bekannt fr seinen spektakulren Erfolg: Zur Zeit beherbergt es 7.000 Unternehmen, vorrangig im Elektronik- und Softwarebereich und nicht weniger als 20% der gr ten High-Tech Unternehmen weltweit. Im Silicon Valley geht durchschnittlich alle 5 Tage ein Unternehmen an die Brse, und alle 24 Stunden werden 62 neue Millionre geboren. Der Grund, warum das Silicon Valley so au erordentlich erfolgreich ist und viele andere High-Tech Regionen bertrifft, liegt darin, dass es drei grundlegende Energien angezapft hat: das Streben nach Wissen, der Drang nach Innovation und unerschrockenen Unternehmergeist. Obwohl der au ergewhnliche Erfolg des Silicon Valley weiter anhlt, kann man nicht lnger davon ausgehen, dass es nur EIN Silicon Valley gibt und alle anderen Technologiezentren in der Welt nur billige Kopien des Originals sind. "Silicon Fen" in Cambridge, England und "Silicon Island" in Taiwan im Hsinchu Science Park nutzen die gleichen wirtschaftlichen Krfte sehr effektiv. "Clusters of Creativity" analysiert das Silicon Valley im Zusammenhang mit den Erfolgen von Cambridge und Hsinchu im internationalen Massenmarkt. Von Geschichte, Kultur und Zweck her sind sie eher verschieden, von der Dynamik her, sind sie jedoch hnlich. Dieses Buch untersucht, wie Silicon Valley funktioniert und wie man Wissen, Innovation und Unternehmertum - ein erprobtes Rezept fr Wertschpfung - in anderen Unternehmen und Regionen in die Praxis umsetzt.

First line

If names are anything to judge by, the imitative, often tenuous, styling of high-technology clusters around the world shows just how eager people are to claim their own version of Silicon Valley.
