This book (well the soundbytes version) changed my perception of innovation in a number of ways:
1) Innovation can be taking an existing business and changing as little as one parameter.
2) The parameter(s) you change does not have to be product related.Quoted: He elaborates a taxonomy of 15 "innovation types," from "disruptive" breakthrough technologies like Apple's iTunes to more mundane marketing innovations like hiring a sports superstar to endorse athletic shoes. Unlike many business futurists, Moore doesn't exalt innovation for its own sake, insisting it must be tied to concrete business goals.

I agree. Microsoft's desire/need to sustain Windows and Office has kept it from fully embracing the power of the Internet.
Quoted: Blodgett is exactly right. As he argues, Microsoft is so focused on sustaining its massively successful core products – Windows and Office – that its approach to the Internet is inherently shackled. It has never fully embraced the dynamic power of the Internet to unleash transformative new business models. Instead, it has used the Internet in a sustaining fashion to supplement its core properties (Internet-based help for Microsoft Word, anyone?), while clinging to web 1.0 platforms like Hotmail.

Quoted: Don't believe the hype. These “classic” books attract all the attention, but for real business wisdom, read our preferred suggestions instead.

Seems like a great compilation of business books. Too many books, too little time! I'm going to try and find them in audiobook form.

Might be worth a read.
Quoted: Question: What can companies do to get smarter?
.
Answer: Companies learn just like people learn—by trying new things and seeing what happens. That requires, first, a tolerance for failure, since by definition, learning means doing things you aren’t very good at. - mohit | Shared With: Everyone - May 21 2007 | business, books, toread, goals
Recommended by a friend.
Quoted: He turns to Jonah, a former professor, whom Alex discovers is now a management consultant (although Jonah's field is physics). With the help of the enigmatic Jonah and the plant staff, Alex turns the plant around while at the same time abandoning many management principles he previously thought were ironclad. This multivoiced presentation is lively and interesting and offers food for thought for managers in any field.

redotted from chen: The Personal MBA is a reading list, discussion group, and peer community for those who want to learn about business and management without spending a fortune. What a great idea! There's an interesting story about how it all started too.
