As Malcolm Gladwell and other business writers have found, it is entirely possible to write a compelling article around a rather obvious point, and still hold the reader's attention. As a case in point I draw your attention to this article - entitled Why Corporate Innovation is so Hard. This article was clearly written by a communications master, because it has an attractive title that seems to address an intractable problem (and suggest an answer) and is based on a premise that seems inescapabl

The digitization might be specific internal processes, tools, or operational components, or can refer to a complete revamp of a company’s products and services. The term is not new. In fact, it has been around since the 1990s, when technology started to become commonplace in businesses, and email and the Internet emerged as ubiquitous productivity tools.
