You can be the leader your people need, but you won't get there without some discomfort.How F*cked Up Is Your Management tackles a massive gap in the conversation about modern leadership.

This book discusses practical issues of innovation and entrepreneurship. It first outlines the basic factors contributing to economic growth in the knowledge-based economy. Portraying wealth creation as taking scientific research results from lab to market, it identifies two interlinking components of the innovation process: turning scientific research to industrial technology and nurturing an eco-system conducive to technology business.

Making these players interact synergistically provides a fertile environment for innovation and entrepreneurship. The development of Silicon Valley, Hsinchu, Shenzhen and Singapore are illustrated as examples.For the technology entrepreneur, having a novel technology or unique product does not guarantee commercial success.
