Hi All,
First, the confrontation lecture, cleared my view on how to deal with the essay. Also the open minded approach of everybody was good! Funny to see how everybody, approaches the question differently…
I am away this weekend, so my literature will be posted on Monday, I promise!
Though I like too share a nice book with you all.
The book is called ‘Eckhart’s Notes’, by Eckhart Wintzen. He’s a famous entrepreneur and founder of Origin. There’s a review about the book available on managementsite.nl.
His view on management is very entrepreneurial focused, he wants people to be self-correcting. People within an organization can be self-correcting, simply by giving them trust (p.177). You can call it ‘an organizational cell theory’.
He does not go into to innovation too deep, but because, every cell has to be self-containing (p.32), and new business ideas, always get a fair chance (p.197), both build upon trust, either product and process innovation are covered.
It’s an easy book to read, or just browse through, and currently is a management book bestseller!

Hi there,
I have that book at home and it is indeed very interesting reading material. I went to a masterclass of Wintzen and was very impressed. It is easy to read, but like you wrote, it is not focused on innovation, but if your Quest is about fair chances in every department, it is quite useful.
Good luck with the essay!
O.T.
