Innovative companies
Business Week has released is annual list of The World's Most Innovative Companies. Apple leads the list (although I can't find the promised interactive list anywhere on the website yet) - followed by Google (which just reported a surprising profit increase of 30%). Surprising parts of the list are Tata from India and GM. One other surprise (according to an interview with the list's creator) was a focus on business process and business model innovation. Interestingly, the interview also touches on the issue of medical tourism as a major change in the health care industry business model (see earlier postings).
The story also looks at how to maintain innovation during an economic downturn: how to get more bank for the research buck and how to use innovation to improve products and services to gain market share during the downturn. Always good advice.
