What is important is not ideas. Power.” - The secret of innovation discovered through the history of the 'Gunpowder Revolution' - True innovation is always accompanied by changes in power relations. Only when we focus on the issue of power can we see the true face of innovation. - A surprising collaboration between 'historical giants' such as Jeffrey Parker and Philip Hoffman who revealed the history of the Gunpowder Revolution and 'management gurus' who set out to find the secret of innovation such as Jeffrey Pfeffer and William Barnett When people talk about innovation, they habitually talk about 'innovative ideas' first. This leads to the illusion that innovation is possible if you just have good ideas. Of course, ideas are important. However, if you focus only on ideas like this, you will miss a more important issue. That is 'power'. This is because, in order to push forward something new, the coercive power called 'power' is needed more than anything else. However, the reason why the issue of power is important in innovation is not just to gain the driving force called coercive power. There is a more fundamental reason hidden. 'True innovation' can only attack vested interests. Therefore, it is impossible to succeed in innovation without resolving the issue of power. In order to understand the relationship between innovation and power, 'Documentary Prime - Compulsory Innovation' will follow the 'history of the gunpowder revolution' that changed the fate of the East and the West. We will find out how each power reacted to the innovation called the gunpowder revolution, which changed human history more decisively than the Industrial Revolution, and how that reaction changed history. Through this, we will be able to gain new insight into the relationship between innovation and power. ✔ Program name: Documentary Prime - Compulsory Innovation Part 1: Will to Power ✔ Broadcast date: 2022.01.24
