Week 11 - Innovation
1)
What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other
words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your
expectations? I found it really interesting how the author explained the
different types of innovation. Routine innovation and using a company's "go
to" strengths not being preferable really surprised me.
2) Identify
at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you. I found
the section on trade-offs a little hard to read. Determining which approach you
should take is something I would have liked more information on.
3) If you were able to ask
two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why? I’d
ask the author whether or not he feels that there will be another shift in how
businesses are run because of more “Google” type companies cropping up. Also,
do you have any examples where the old school ways of research are more
beneficial than taking a new school approach to innovation. I’m curious to know
if there are exceptions when doing the tried and true way is better.
4) Was there
anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what
she or he said? How? I didn’t really disagree with the author, but I do look at
leadership roles differently. I think success is reliant on a group effort, not
just top management making decisions on strategy.
