Fortunately, today's dreamers have more options than ever to build and fund product development, even if they have limited resources. In this interview with EIX's Kimberly Eddleston, Northeastern University Professor Tucker Marion, co-author of the book "The Innovation Navigator," shares his thoughts on how anyone -- from a sole proprietor to an employee within a large established company -- can innovate and launch a business.
