Weekly Reading Reflection Vol. 11

Damn Anthony, back at it again with the reading reflections! This week we get a break from our favorite entrepreneurial textbook author and get to review a real scholars writing. (just kidding Kuratko we love you). No, but we hear from professor Gary Pisano in a Harvard Business Review article analyzing the strategies needed to create efficient improvements in the innovation within a business. It's not as black and white as you think, there is no job of "Chief Innovation Officer" that can just bust into a meeting wearing a lab coat and scream "Eureka, I.. Ive found it. The key to innovation!!!!" Anyway, here's what I took away....


The idea that stood out most to me was the 4 major types of innovation and how much they differed. It was new to me at least. It was interesting to learn how different each of these categories were and how the term "innovation" cant easily be defined.

The technical terms and fast-paced analysis was a little confusing but other than that I don't think anything escaped my grasp of understanding.

Two question I have for Pisano:
"Name a few other rising businesses that are making use of efficient innovation strategy?"
"what is your personal definition of innovation"

I cant say that I disagree with anything in this article. It was very well written and brought up several good points for anyone (not even a novice like me) to think about.


Happy Easter, Go Gators, Go Jesus.
