Innovation writing often resembles religion – always in search of one true reason or belief. Do we need to practice open innovation? Are we susceptible to the innovator’s dilemma? Should our R&D spend equal 4 or 5% of turnover? Most discussions tend towards one of these explanations rather than a portfolio; one true but simple meaning rather than complexity.
Kai Reinhardt's insight:
Thruth is, that researching on innnovation and driving innovation from a business side are two different things. But bigger research programs like FRP7 or the upcoming FRP8 are big steps to keep up with the large innovation nations, like US, India, China etc. So micro- and macroperspectives need to be outbalanced and go hand in hand.
