MASTERCLASS INTRODUCTION

In the last 5-10 years, research from a variety of disciplines including the neurosciences, economics, and a variety
of business programs has revealed more about why innovation and new product projects succeed and fail than
was ever previously available. Most of this research is only just emerging from the academic community.
Understanding and applying it will empower business leaders to separate the facts from the hype and deliver to
their organizations a substantial competitive advantage.
