This book provides good case studies to understand the nature of innovation for students in Public Administration Department who will then understand the concept of innovation in public sector/governments.

A very good text which offers many fresh perspectives

Unfortunately, the textbook's focus was innovation rather than entrepreneurship, esp. in the international context. For this reason it couldn't become adopted for the International Entrepreneurship course. However, for a course in Innovation it could be a very interesting and timely reading.
