This book examines healthcare innovation processes, shedding light on the controversies endemic to innovation, which make such processes notoriously challenging. While, in the heat of action, controversies may be seen as barriers to innovation, observations reported in this volume point to controversies also having an energizing role. Students and academics studying innovation, organization, and health management and economics will find this book a valuable read as it provides empirical case studies on innovation processes in practice. Controversies in Healthcare Innovation will also appeal to practitioners of health care management, innovation project managers and policy-makers in the health care sector.



Thomas Hoholm is Associate Professor at BI Norwegian Business School and Senior Researcher at Akershus University Hospital, Norway. With a background in organization theory and industrial networks, his research focusses on innovation processes.

Antonella La Rocca is Research Fellow at Akershus University Hospital and Visiting Research Fellow at BI Norwegian Business School, Norway.  Her research interests are in innovation, entrepreneurship and B2B Marketing.

Margunn Aanestad is Professor at the Department of Informatics, University of Oslo, Norway. She has researched the introduction of information and communication technologies in healthcare from an information infrastructure perspective.
