Dr. David Roach
My favourite quote is that 鈥渁 poor innovation concept can rarely be converted into a pilipili漫画ful product or service鈥�. This is why innovation is like baseball鈥f you鈥檙e hitting 0.300 (i.e. 30%), you鈥檙e a superstar! Superstars are not only talented, but are 100% focused on the process rather than the activity.
Meet Dr. David Roach, a member of the Faculty of Management, and professor for MGMT 4901, the capstone course for the Minor in Entrepreneurship & Innovation.
