UNECE · Innovation Matters: Innovative Dynamism

Innovation history and policies continue to be the themes of this second part of my conversation with Lars Anders Joensson on the United Nations’s Innovation Matters podcast. The discussion of “Innovation Matters: Innovative Dynamism” is mostly related to the process of innovative dynamism as discussed in my book Openness to Creative Destruction. Anders was especially energized in this second part of the conversation. (Recorded Weds., Aug. 3, 2022; posted Thurs., Sept. 19, 2024.)
