"Getting people to talk to each other is the only truly effective way of transferring technical knowledge and advancing the process of innovation." This statement and the supporting argument can be read inThomas Allen and Gunter Henn's book The Organization and Architecture of Innovation.

"The beginning of administrative wisdom is the awareness that there is no optimum type of management system." This and many other insights can be obtained from Tom Burns and G.M. Stalker's classic on innovation: The Management of Innovation.
