Synopsis

This book by Kenneth Daun illustrates clearly how important the human capital is for any company, in particular for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), whose success strongly relies on the potential of the employees. The author describes how the human growth can influence an innovative economic development. He does not only explain his developed method for organisational innovation, but is also reflecting on a very practical way on three different case studies from South Sweden that he worked on for many years. It is underlined, that not much money needs to be invested to make a true change in a firm by boosting the innovation capabilities, but how companies, community and universities together can support such a growth.
