How to Succeed with Radical Innovation
New research by J.P. Eggers of NYU's Leonard N. Stern School of Business and Aseem Kaul of the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management looks at how companies pursue radical invention and the success of those efforts. The researchers found that highly capable firms have much less motivation to take risks because they're already so successful — but that they're the ones most likely to succeed when they try to innovate.
