Global Innovator. How Nations Gained and Lost Innovation Leadership

Why are some corners of our planet sometimes abundant in creativity and produce great generators of ideas, while others are not? And why do those who were once at the forefront of innovation later experience periods of stagnation and sometimes find themselves left behind? Which countries will be ahead in the coming years, and where is there a risk of losing competitive innovative advantage? These questions are posed by the author of the book – entrepreneur, who built his business in Europe and Asia, Heshams Hafez. With the meticulousness worthy of a Harvard Business School graduate, he analyzes the history of nations and cultures from the perspective of innovative breakthroughs. His work is the result of rethinking facts, political and economic prerequisites, and the successful and failed attempts of various communities to break ahead in the global innovation race.
