Judy Estrin on innovation
"Ms. Estrin argues that short-term thinking and a reluctance to take
risks are causing a noticeable lag in innovation. She cites a variety
of contributing factors. A decline in federal and university financing
for research has dried up new ideas, she said." - Judy Estrin, author of "Closing the Innovation Gap"
Short-term thinking is a framework for evaluating innovation. The question is - have we reached a spot where we need to reconsider it?
