Reviews "In this cool book, Gloor and Cooper not only define that pattern of elements and states we simply call "cool," they also teach us how to find (or even create) that which is cool and, ultimately, how to do it "coolly" - sharing power, and capitalizing on the newly enabled and tightly connected swarm of human minds." —Alpheus Bingham, Founder and Board Member, InnoCentive, Inc. "At Procter & Gamble, we've fully embraced the idea that innovation can come from unlikely places, including the many ideas and talents that are well beyond the walls of our company. Our Connect+Develop initiative is a major engine of growth, consistently uncovering ideas that become valuable new products. Similarly, Coolhunting provides a practical framework to find innovators and innovations, giving readers a proven and tested method to become successful coolhunters." —Larry Huston, Vice President Innovation, Procter & Gamble "Identifying what's cool and what's next has become a key to success in business. Coolhunting is a serious, disciplined approach to finding cool products, services, people, and ideas. I predict it will soon be hot." —Thomas H. Davenport, President's Distinguished Professor of Information Technology and Management, Babson College
