In the December edition of Research Policy there is an interesting article by Tavassoli & Karlsson (2015) about the persistence of innovation. The persistence of innovation can be described as the phenomenon where past and current innovation are a good indicator for future innovation because there is the belief that the competitive advantage of firms are rooted in the the capability to innovate over longer periods of time.

Henry Ford is perhaps one of the most well-known innovators in the US. After all, it was his mass production line that helped people make the shift from horses or high cost / low quality automobiles to a reliable, affordable car - the Model T. Ford perfected a process by which he determined the model, the shape, the size and especially the color of the automobile. Ford was a synthesizer and a manufacturing innovator. Instead of cars, they are working on innovations.

It's as if we are supposed to buy the products because of the really interesting advertising, rather than the benefits they provide. What's this diatribe got to do with innovation? So I have to tread the razor's edge here when I say increasingly corporate innovation looks a lot like Super Bowl advertising. You can't wink wink nudge nudge innovation.

Accenture has recently published an innovation survey of 500 executives in the US. I'm particularly partial to portions of this survey because the authors identify a real and growing problem - the gap between what executives want from innovation, and the organization's ability to deliver. By now everyone knows that innovation is a top three priority for executives. But saying that innovation is important doesn't mean it will get funded, get prioritized and get done.
