Terry Pierce terms these developments 'disruptive innovations' and shows how senior leaders have often disguised them in order to ensure their innovations survived. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe shows how more common innovations however, have been those of integrating new technologies to help perform existing missions better and not change them radically. The author calls these 'sustaining innovations'. The recent innovation history suggests two interesting questions. First, how can senior military leaders achieve a disruptive innovation when they are heavily engaged around the world and they are managing sustaining innovations? Second, what have been the external sources of disruptive (and sustaining) innovations? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is essential reading for professionals and students interested in national security, military history and strategic issues. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terry Pierce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0714655473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780714655475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.26w x 0.83d","brand":"Terry Pierce","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44829310779647,"sku":"9780714655475","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_70cf8367-80cc-4615-908b-29284532744b.jpg?v=1708450430","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/warfighting-and-disruptive-technologies-terry-pierce-9780714655475","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
