Book tip – Innovators at Siemens

The book "Innovative Minds – A Look Inside Siemens’ Idea Machine" reveals how innovations take shape at Siemens.

Prof. Dr. Hermann Requardt, Member of the Corporate Executive Committee of Siemens AG and Head of Corporate Technology: "Companies characterized by a culture of innovation learn to think out of the box and are often skeptical of traditional methods.
