About the Book

Over the last thirty years, a host of new technologies has begun to change every industry, driving humanity into a new era of existence. The companies most able to tap into these innovations have become the most highly valued companies in the world — and to do so, they have developed a fundamentally new approach to corporate innovation. In Corporate Innovation in the Fifth Era, Silicon Valley insiders Matthew C. Le Merle and Alison Davis share the lessons they have learned from two decades of direct interaction with Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft, as well as other leading companies at the forefront of technological change.

Drawing on this deep well of firsthand experience, the authors describe the innovation practices that separate today's most valuable companies from the rest, offering a practical framework so that any organization — regardless of industry or size — can prepare itself to thrive as the world enters what they call the "Fifth Era" of human and economic development. Written to be relevant for anyone responsible for the innovation processes of their company or organization — senior executives, board directors, advisors, and employees striving to keep their organizations relevant in a rapidly changing world — the book also offers food for thought to universities, think tanks, capital providers, governments, and others across the broader innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem.

Critical Reception

One reviewer praised Le Merle and Davis for cutting through the fog of continuous, convulsive change with a compelling assessment of the big drivers reshaping business and value creation. The book is part of a broader "Fifth Era" body of work by the authors, which includes companion titles such as The Fifth Era and Build Your Fortune in the Fifth Era, aimed at angel investors, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, and established companies navigating this period of unprecedented innovation and value creation.
