At the Darden School’s recent “Darden Days” welcome weekend for admitted students, I serendipitously met Professor Jeanne Liedtka, the director of Darden’s Batten Institute for entrepreneurship and innovation. We talked briefly after a “mock case” discussion that introduced the prospectives to the case method, and I learned more about her courses in strategy and research in corporate innovation - my own fields of interest.
Well, BusinessWeek just turned out a few excellent pieces on innovation, so I thought I’d create a little home for them in this blog as well.
I was really caught by surprise by some of the answers in this Innovation Quiz. (I scored 5 out of 12, apparently good enough for the quiz to recommend me as chief innovation officer for my company.)
There’s also a great Innovators in Our Midst slideshow (one of my favorite features of BusinessWeek online) on corporations leading innovation in all kinds of industries.
Then there’s the fine analytic piece, Innovative Writing on Innovation, offering five themes emerging from a survey of corporate leaders.
Finally, I’ll add the link to 25 Innovators, 6 Industries.
Hope that’s enough to spark the creative business thinker on a rainy Friday afternoon!
