Interesting Links This Week: 05-May-2013

Links that caught my attention this week range from a scholarly paper to the on-ground challenges with regards to innovation

a)  A paper that attempts to explain wealth gaps between West and ‘the Rest’ . Why was ‘Rest’ of the world struggling to catch up on entrepreneurship in the 19th century while West was pushing its way to success? http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/7227.html?wknews=04102013

b) A very interesting write up on how art and science of delivery brought effectiveness not just to a company, not just to a community but to a country at large http://voices.mckinseyonsociety.com/the-origins-and-practice-of-delivery/

c) An article around the moderated panel discussion on Innovation at Wharton Economic Summit 2013 around definition of innovation, its relationship to entrepreneurship and what is required to nurture it http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article.cfm?articleid=3242
