Technology and innovation are hip. Blockchain, artificial intelligence, big data, 'internet of things', robots, self-driving cars. Many entrepreneurs and managers ask themselves how they can profit from these developments. The answer: by investing more in your people. Since 2006 the Erasmus Centre for Business Innovation (ECBI), led by Henk Volberda, publishes the annual Erasmus Competition and Innovation Monitor. The most recent figures show that the investments in R&D and ICT have increased over the past year.
