CENTER FOR INNOVATION

The University of Maryland Center for Innovation was founded in 1982. The center is dedicated to organizational innovation research and housed in the Department of Sociology at the University of Maryland, College Park..... Consistent with our mission to provide action theory, we are presently writing a major theoretical paper (Hage and Hadden "Solving the Twin Crises in Capitalism and Democracy") to indicate how to solve these four coordination failures, building upon a long history of expertise in this Center relative to the problem of radical product and service innovation... Presently, the Center has three major missions that have emerged over the years. The first topic is obviously the namesake, innovation, which we now define as simply problem solving. Our current research effort in this topic area at the organizational level, is concerned with stimulating radical product and service innovations.
