In \u003cem\u003eThe Innovation Age\u003c\/em\u003e, Jamie Heywood offers a radical yet pragmatic answer: the modern company is mis-designed for the world it now inhabits.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFrom courtroom battles at Uber to lessons drawn from cities, communities, and even the human brain, Heywood shows why hierarchies suppress innovation, why shareholder primacy distorts purpose, and why the most creative systems are modular, diverse, and collaborative.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eClear-eyed, original and deeply practical, this open access book is a manifesto for corporate change. It shows what each of us—employees, citizens, and policy makers—must do to build the companies of the future. For leaders, it explains how to organise for innovation rather than efficiency, how to balance autonomy with alignment, and how to turn companies back into what they were always meant to be—society’s most powerful problem-solving institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJamie Heywood\u003c\/strong\u003e has three decades’ experience leading companies at the intersection of innovation, growth, and regulation. He ran Uber’s Northern European businesses through the crisis that followed Travis Kalanick’s exit, led Amazon’s UK electronics divisions through a period of extreme growth, and, while he successfully launched Virgin Mobile in India, he was also forced to close down their business in China when the regulatory environment shifted. Jamie has seen firsthand how companies adapt—or fail to—in a changing world. Today, he serves on the board of Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and as a Senior Advisor to Principia, an ethics consultancy. He holds an MA in Philosophy and Psychology from Oxford University and an MBA from INSEAD.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 January 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032363602\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51562257580172,"sku":"9783032363602","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032363602.jpg?v=1784816546","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783032363602","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
