Front End of Innovation Conference Paper: "Seeing Around the Corner: Using Scenarios to Identify New Market Opportunities"

New product teams are often trapped in a static view of their environment that limits potential innovation and leaves them vulnerable to competitors with more foresight with regard to market dynamics. To be successful, your team needs to be able to "see around the corner". But anticipating change is difficult, especially if the environment has been stable for a period of years.

Special Report: Reflecting on Corporate Venture Capital

  

While corporate venture capital (CVC) is not a new phenomenon, it is also not that old! Many argue that CVC did not achieve prominence until the late 1960s. In the intervening years we have witnessed a proliferation of diverse efforts by many of the largest global companies. A close assessment of the details and overall outcomes to date has not been undertaken, but a few observations are worth noting even in the absence of complete data.

Ed Roberts, David Sarnoff Professor, Management of Technology Program, Sloan School of Management, MIT and Dr. Val R. Livada, Vice President, Product Genesis, report on results of corporate venture capital efforts.
