Peter Drucker wrote Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the 1980s as a book that for the first time put innovation as a regular management tool, side-by-side with strategy and operations in a managed business. It offers little mystification of the term "innovation" and there is much of a practical approach to where innovation is made---or might be made. Drucker had a personal purpose towards innovation: eliminate the terror of mid-managers for eating the vegetable soup so as to make entrepreneurship a systematic job to be done within any type of business (venture business, corporate enterprise or public business).
