Working Title :: Leading in the Innovation Economy (Spring 2014, McGraw Hill)
From the Introduction:
“In his 1942 book, Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy, economist Joseph Schumpeter introduced the notion of an “innovation economy.” He argued that evolving institutions, entrepreneurs, and technological changes were at the heart of economic growth. But it is only in recent years that the innovation economy, grounded in Schumpeter’s ideas, has become mainstream. If you are reading this book, you are a part of the innovation economy. Know that within such fluidity lies opportunity for those who act with authenticity—and in alignment with an organization—to shape the world that we live in. While often inchoate, this mission of bringing one’s vision to world is in the center of every leader’s voyage, regardless of industry. The text you hold in your hands will help you articulate that realization process.
From Silicon Valley to Wall Street, the conference room to the emergency room, the developing world to the developed world, never has there been a greater need–and opportunity–for leaders of all types in all organizations, regardless of title. We are told to be the change we want to see in the world; here’s the step by step in making that change happen.”

| The Power of Convergence Book Review
The Power of Convergence powerfully unpacks an “operational blueprint” for “categorizing, analyzing, rationalizing, and managing” the right technology to achieve business goals. Hoque’s writings echo the sentiments of and earlier analysis of the power of union of technology and business that was written in 2008 by Bill Gates. Gates reported similar comparisons in Business@The Speed of Thought: Using a Digital Nervous System. During the tech boom, Gates also produced detailed a blueprint for business managers who desire to provide creative innovation in business technology integration. Both authors strongly believe that effective and efficient technology management is strongly linked to sustainable business success and is positively correlated to superior economic performances.

Industry Acclaim“At some point, every business leader will struggle with the management topics outlined in The Power of Convergence. How they think about these issues, more importantly, how they make the right decisions regarding them is critical to the success of their organization.” - Dr. Krishna Palepu “BTM has pushed us for a standardization of communication, transparency, and visibility at the national level. The Power of Convergence unveils many of these best practices, it is a must read for every CEO.” - Yves Corvaisier “The Power of Convergence shines a bright light on the cutting edge strategies related to corporate effectiveness and profitability that BTM has provided over the last decade. I highly recommend it to anyone from business school to the boardroom.” - Lawrence G. McDonald “We are in the Era of Innovation, brought about by tectonic shifts in the global marketplace and by the staggering needs of millions of the world’s people. In his usual fashion, Faisal Hoque presents this highly readable and thought-provoking book to take us on an international tour of the corporations, governments and social enterprises like our Grameen, that are organizing in new ways to transform the 21st Century. By marrying the power of technology and business, there is very little we can’t accomplish. Sustained Innovation shows where and how this is happening and inspires us to join in this new era.” – Professor Muhammad Yunus “An insightful, well written book on innovation. The authors have done well to capture stories of innovation across the board—from Fortune 500 to Social Enterprises. The Power of Convergence is rich in ideas that highlight how to leverage technology to create sustainability in business or in doing good.” – Dr. Leslie Willcocks “Six Billion Minds is a clear window on our rapidly changing world. It draws on an impressive breadth of wisdom and practical knowledge to help us comprehend and prepare ourselves for a tightly connected, global economy. All organizations – government, corporate, nonprofit – will have to adapt to this new order of things, and this book is an excellent primer for meeting that challenge. As the world becomes ever more connected, business leaders must engage the issues set forth in Six Billion Minds. Globalization will not go away, and neither will the appeal of sourcing around the world. How to think about these issues, and how to make the right decisions regarding them, is the mission of this book, drawing together a wealth of knowledge and practical insight from leading thinkers around the world.” – Shimon Peres “It’s an age old, and perennially puzzling problem: Why don’t we get as much value as we should when we use technology in business contexts? Faisal Hoque and his co-authors suggest fresh answers. In the early years of this new century, this question and the search for its answers, have never been more important.” - Dr. Robert D. Austin |
