Abstract

Current society’s obsession with innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic growth is superficial and unsustainable. It has little to do with real innovation, which is a process involving hard work and long-term devotion. Instead, innovation today is a catchword that has evolved into an ideology and a myth mobilized to underpin current society’s striving for constant economic growth for its own sake. The chapter outlines this problem, anchors it in a theoretical foundation of organizational sociology, and states the aims and purpose of the book.
