Garel, a researcher and professor of innovation management in France, and Mock, co-inventor of the Swatch watch and founder of an innovation company (Creaholic) in Switzerland, describe how to make breakthrough innovation happen and structure a company around it, creating an "innovation factory." They describe the use of C-K (concept-knowledge) theory as a method for designing new objects and relate the innovation story of the Swatch watch and the founding of Creaholic to discuss the framework of breakthrough design, the innovation process, the molecular metaphor of innovation, and the function and management of a breakthrough innovation company. The book was originally published in French as La Fabrique d'Innovation in 2016. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
