Having spent a good part of my young working days in advertising I had been exposed to a lot of the concepts shared in the book. If you have jumped right into business without much on the job work experience then this book is a good read. Market research, understanding consumer preferences and more - All that which can't be understood from the comfort of the office chair. Do it on the field out in the market. Like they say - Get your hands dirty. Can get a bit text book type at times but then its trying to teach you some fundamentals so accept it and read on.
This book breaks the myths of innovation and shows a guiding light on how 'anyone' can innovate. I personally loved the depth of insights, diverse examples and practical steps to make it happen. Highly recommend to managers, founders, students and organizations.
Very well written with objectivity on focus. Simple language makes it easy on the reader. Interesting out of the box methods to arrive at practical solutions.
