The innovator's DNA

A short paper from the Harvard Business Review about what separates innovators from the rest of us. The qualities you're supposed to have, and to exercise if you want to improve your innovating skills, are:
-questioning
-observing
-experimenting
-networking
-associating
Apparently travelling a lot and living in different countries helps too

China's investments in Europe

Following on the previous post, a paper from the European Council on Foreign Relations about China's investements in Europe.
