Why Being in Charge Isn’t What It Used to Be, Basic Books, 2013.

The book attributes the end of power to three revolutions: the “more” revolution, the mobility
revolution, and the mentality revolution. It is careful in not identifying the role of information technology
as predominant but there is no doubt that the more, the mobility and the mentality owe a lot to the
digital age and the diffusion of new technologies.

http://ec.europa.eu/growth/industry/innovation/facts-figures/scoreboards/files/ius-2015_en.pdf The
measurement framework used in the Innovation Union Scoreboard distinguishes between three main
types of indicators and eight innovation dimensions, capturing a total of 25 different indicators. The
enablers capture the main drivers of innovation performance external to the firm and cover three
innovation dimensions: human resources; open, excellent and attractive research systems; and finance
and support. Firm activities capture the innovation efforts at the level of the firm, grouped in three
innovation dimensions: firm investments, linkages and entrepreneurship, and intellectual assets. Outputs
cover the effects of firms’ innovation activities in two innovation dimensions: innovators and economic
effects.
