Johann Gutenberg, a German inventor, revolutionised printing in the 15th century with his movable type printing press. His invention made mass production of books possible, significantly reducing costs and spreading knowledge. The Gutenberg Bible, printed around 1455, was the first major book produced using this method, marking a pivotal moment in the history of communication and education.
The "New New Product Development Game" by Hirotaka Takeuchi and Ikujiro Nonaka introduced the concept of a faster, flexible approach to product development. Emphasising teamwork, self-organisation, and overlapping phases, it likens the process to a rugby match, where teams pass the ball seamlessly. This method, foundational to Agile, encourages innovation and adaptability in competitive markets.
