The Cult of Innovation Now Online
by DanMy BusinessWeek editorial The Cult of Innovation is no longer premium content, so it is freely available online for all to read. An excerpt:
What’s needed isn’t always the new or the unique, and it certainly isn’t always more, as in more features, more gizmos, more newness. Sometimes it’s less.
