Is technology the solution to all our problems? The rise and global impact of technological innovation has persuaded us to believe so. However, Professor Henk Volberda reveals that although technological innovations can be helpful, they won't solve companies’ fundamental problems. We will need social innovations, like new strategies, ideas and concepts to deal with these challenges.

The most important tools for innovation are the people within the company.
