Wayne Hurlbert of Blog Talk Radio recently had a great conversation with Sramana Mitra about the role innovation plays in building a strong, vibrant economy. You can listen to the entire interview here.
Also, from Hurlbert’s comprehensive review of Sramana Mitra’s Innovation: Need Of The Hour (Entrepreneur Journeys, Volume 4) for Blog Business World:
“For me, the power of the book is how Sramana Mitra combines her own ideas on innovation and entrepreneurship, with interviews of thought leaders in the fields of innovation and sustainable economic growth. Sramana Mitra seeks justice for entrepreneurs, who she considers the backbone of both innovative thinking and of the economy itself. For the author, speculators have gained too much while stifling and even actively discouraging innovative ideas from reaching the marketplace. That imbalance has brought the economy to its knees, she writes, and more risk and long-term thinking is needed to correct the situation.
I highly recommend the idea packed and economic growth enhancing book Innovation: Need Of The Hour by Sramana Mitra, to anyone serious about seeking long term and sustainable solutions to the current economic downturn. The author shares her ideas, and those of other innovators, for building a stronger economy based on research and development at both the institutional and the entrepreneurial levels. She also provides useful and practical strategies and techniques for bringing these innovations to the marketplace for the benefit of all.”
