Why do so many promising ideas fail before they ever create real business growth? Why do teams invest time, money, and talent into innovation programs that never reach the customer, never scale, or never deliver the impact leaders expected?
The Innovation Puzzle is a practical innovation book for leaders, founders, product teams, students, and business professionals who want to understand how successful innovation actually happens inside real organizations. Written by Robert Van Pappelendam and Alan Maingot, with a business school perspective from RSM Erasmus University, this guide breaks innovation down into clear, workable pieces.
This is not theory for theory’s sake. It is a hands-on guide to business development, enterprise innovation strategy, product development, commercialization, customer understanding, team alignment, and the innovator’s mindset needed to turn ideas into value.
Through real-world examples, field-tested insights, and practical frameworks, the authors show why innovation is not only about creating a better product. It is about solving meaningful customer problems, defining the right job-to-be-done, building technical requirements, testing with discipline, designing for adoption, and supporting launch with the right business growth strategy.
Inside, readers will learn how to:
- Understand why innovation fails so often and how to avoid common traps.
- Build an innovation strategy that connects directly to mission, customers, and growth.
- Use customer insight to solve real-world problems instead of chasing ideas.
- Improve workplace innovation by aligning leadership, teams, talent, and culture.
- Strengthen product management and product development management with clearer validation and commercialization steps.
- Think beyond product development and explore innovation in business models, processes, packaging, customer experience, and go-to-market strategy.
Innovation does not have to remain mysterious. With the right pieces in place, it becomes a system you can understand, practice, and improve.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
