Crisis of Innovation in US companies
I am putting this topic in general discussion section as its not BlackBerry related. There is an interesting survey at The Economist:
Has Apple peaked? | The Economist
And related article:
Information technology: Has Apple peaked? | The Economist
This has me thinking. Has innovation from US companies stalled?
Once great titans of technology for the past decade are in identity crisis mode from HP, Yahoo, Intel, Dell, Microsoft to now Apple debate. I still think Apple can dominate for another couple of years. All of these companies except Dell no longer have the founders running the shop. Entrepreneurial passion has been replaced by bureaucratic management by committee trying to squeeze the low hanging fruit for every last cent of profit. Only innovation will drive these companies forward to continued relevance.
I believe RIM has learned its lesson but can the other companies?
