Summary
"There's a big difference between an idea and an innovation. It's called cash. In Payback, authors Jim Andrew and Hal Sirkin argue that companies must sharpen their focus on achieving payback - in the form of cash and other assets that ultimately generate cash - to fund growth, stay competitive, and successfully address the biggest challenge facing most companies today : increasing the returns from their innovation spending."--BOOK JACKET.
