The Plastics Paradox by Chris Dearmitt
Born into a poor, working class family, Mac has worked hard and now has almost everything he could want: a happy, although childless, marriage, a successful career and the prospect of a vast inheritance that will mean he never has to worry about money again. What could possibly go wrong?Driving home from the dealers in his new car, a minor collision with a learner driver sets in motion a chain of events that threatens everything he holds dear, and a face he hasn't seen for over twenty years brings back memories of the one mistake he'd rather forget.Can he hold on to his marriage and the inheritance while recognising the son he never knew he had?It's a moral dilemma for the erstwhile playboy who has, up till now, managed to give up most of his old habits and stay true to his rich wife.
Dearmitt, Chris: - Chris started inventing as an undergraduate and hasn't stopped since. He went on to work at major corporations including the Cookson Group UK, Electrolux (Frigidaire) in Sweden, BASF's headquarters in Germany and then assorted C-level roles in the US. These days, he consults for the Fortune 100, who come to him for breakthrough plastics and materials solutions. As a leading open innovator, his six challenge wins to date place him among the elite few. Having worked in different industries, across multiple countries and job functions, he has gained a comprehensive overview of innovation from every angle. Chris has spent his career marveling at how desperately ineffective corporate innovation is. The Innovation Abyss sucks in your money, time, ideas and effort, for no tangible return. Over the last few decades, he has prepared notes for this book, a chilling exposü¾Ž–”¼ from an innovation insider.
