Innovation is changing. Traditionally viewed as a tool for financial return and market growth, there is mounting pressure to rethink and reframe the theory and practice of innovation for the pressing sustainability and inequality challenges of our era. This textbook provides students with a research-informed dive into the emerging space of innovation for systems/transformative change. Combining real-world case studies with interdisciplinary theory, it shows how and why innovation for urgent global challenges requires a systems-based approach. Relevant for students and instructors of business and management, particularly innovation studies, development studies and related fields, this book is the first to provide a comprehensive, interdisciplinary and research-informed overview of alternative approaches to innovation focused on systemic change.

This is an up-to-date book for the busy medical teacher, suitable for all grades of teacher experience and all clinical specialties. The chapters cover aspects of teaching from preparation, basic teaching skills, to the use of teaching resources, evaluation, assessment and curriculum planning. Each fully referenced chapter provides practical suggestions for busy clinicians, and easy to photocopy resources to enable teachers to put ideas into practice. The book supports the practical advice with the key evidence and theories underlying current medical education, allowing it to be used for both last minute planning as well as acting as a carefully constructed introduction to teaching medical undergraduates in the hospital or the community.
