The first thing they should know is that not all technological change is “disruptive.” ” It’s important to distinguish between different types of innovation, and the responses they require by firms. In a recent publication in the Journal of Product Innovation, we undertook a systematic review of 40 years (1975 to 2016) of innovation research. In doing so, firms often rely on advancements in technologies to bring their firm to the next level.

When I used to think about this 20, 15 and 10 years ago the opportunities to innovate using new technology and thinking differently about the value conferences provide lead to tons of idea on how they could be much better. So I doubt it would be hard to rethink of whatever I had thought of back then and new technology would increase the possibilities. And maybe I am wrong and they really have all sorts of great things they are doing to meet customer needs in innovative ways.

This is where the opportunity lies — in collaboration that includes the final approvers, embedding legal teams in the design and innovation process. Ironically, not including lawyers in the collaborative process perpetuates the idea that they smother innovation. But the business’s innovators typically don’t consider the challenges that legal and other approvers face by being brought in at the end. Remind your company that there are risks to not innovating.

Companies are touting chief innovation officers, innovation teams, innovations strategies, and even innovation days," the hard-hitting piece noted.

That is, why bother trying to innovate if no matter what they do, large companies can no longer maintain a sustainable advantage and their life spans are just getting shorter and shorter? Start-up companies tend to cluster in industries favored by venture capitalists (like biotechnology or information technology) or ones where there are relatively low barriers to entry (like restaurants). In these markets if existing companies don’t rise to the innovation challenge, no one will.

One can naturally debate any system that seeks to crown the world’s most innovative companies. Boston Consulting Group’s list, which relies heavily on surveys asking senior executives to name the companies they perceive to be innovative, risks succumbing to the halo effect, where generally successful companies are assumed to be good at everything. Forbes’s mathematical approach, which calculates an “Innovation Premium” baked into a stock price, suffers from market capriciousness.
