Innovation Books

There is no shortage of books on innovation - they grow like weeds in the business section. Every business professor or management consultant knows that the word "innovation" in the title is good for a 10,000 item boost in sales right out of the gate. You and I have both read a number of the really flat stinkers that just say "do things differently", or "defy the status quo", or "invest in R&D", or "create cross-functional teams" ...

I have compiled a short list of some of the books that really have something valuable to say. This list will have to grow because there is an occasional flower among the weeds every year.
