The Inefficient Innovation Economy gives readers a realistic sense of our current economy based on innovation in a multifaceted approach to many industries that are commonly discussed as being innovative and some less popular industries that are not as visible to popular belief as being innovative. A new systems approach to raising valuations of startups, to creating larger market capitalizations for existing publicly traded companies, and catalyzing the adoption of technologies is needed as we move towards a better understanding of the innovation life cycle and the factors that affect entrepreneurial success. Progress and ingenuity are brought forth with enthusiasm for a brilliant future of the world around us. A strategic approach to unwinding the interplay amongst coexisting systems may provide some keen insights to current inefficiencies in each stand alone system as well as the overarching structure supporting those systems. Furthermore, the speed at which information is transferred and the access of that information across the entire realm of systems at play must be considered to encompass a more satisfactory evaluation, resolving towards an exhaustive analysis. Examples are brought forth to life, creating a vivid portrayal as heads of industry, government entities, and worldwide think tanks are providing readers meaningful insights of the status quo. The authors’ determination for pushing the limits and their inquisitive nature clarify the potential for a better, wealthier future for all of mankind. This is truly the first and only book to discuss how trillions in waste may be turned into business opportunity and economic success.
