Synthesized answer
The passages describe "Innovation and Entrepreneurship" as a "superbly practical book" that explains what established businesses, public survey institutions, and new ventures "have to know, have to learn, and have to do" in today's economy and marketplace [1].
While the passages state that the book addresses what established businesses and new ventures have to know, learn, and do, they do not articulate the core difference between "knowing," "learning," and "doing" in the context of innovation for these two types of entities. The passages explain that the book is practical and covers these elements for both established businesses and new ventures, but they do not elaborate on how these concepts differentiate between them.
