Book Launch – Dan Breznitz: Innovation in Real Places

Prof. Dan Breznitz will launch his new book, Innovation in Real Places: Strategies for Prosperity in an Unforgiving World, on 21 April at 2pm EDT and registration is now open here.

The Book

For the last few decades, the dominant growth model has been to focus on technological innovation. Yet, while a small number of cities and regions have benefited, many other communities have struggled. In his latest book, Innovation in Real Places: Strategies for Prosperity in an Unforgiving World, Dan Breznitz sets out to challenge this model and sets out how these communities might succeed. He argues that by understanding the changed structure of the global system of production and then using those insights to enable communities to recognize their own advantages, cities and regions can foster surprising forms of specialized innovation.

Innovation in Real Places is currently available as an ebook and will be available at local bookstores, as well as from Indigo and Amazon, on April 17. You can find links to purchase directly from Oxford University Press here.

The Event

Dan Breznitz will sit down to discuss his new book with The Economists’ US Technology Editor, Ludwig Siegele. All are welcome to attend.
