title: The Anatomy of Innovation: What Makes Innovation Succeed in the 21st Century?
author:  Kamiel S. Gabriel 
description: <span>I chose the title of the book:<span></span><i>The Anatomy of Innovation</i>for several reasons. For innovation to occur and succeed, it needs all parts of its anatomy to work in harmony - the brain controls the thought process to bring forth ideas; it controls the nervous system to make parts move to put such ideas to action; it enables the eyes to see what the rest of the members are doing and hence work in harmony; and then the heart produces the blood flow necessary to either walk, run or sprint to produce the desired outcome.</span>

  We all know of innovations which either made their creators a fortune or which led to
  their downfall. It is easy to retrospectively explain success as a stroke of genius or failure
  as a blatant mistake. Easy in retrospect…but what about innovation in the making? How
  does the innovator navigate the pitfalls which threaten him?
  Keywords: Innovation; actor-network theory; socio-technical analysis.
