A culture of innovation won't take root if you don't have clear systems for approving and funding ideas, for example, or an employee review process that includes innovation criteria.
How Technology Is Changing the Face of Innovation - WSJ.com
This new environment also has big implications for managers. Simply put, bosses must be prepared to give up some control. With testing so cheap, easy and accessible, there's less need to ration it as they have in the past. Managers used to directing the company's innovation efforts must give their workers the freedom to come up with ideas on their own and pursue them without lots of red tape.
How Google Fuels Its Idea Factory - BusinessWeek
Many companies, says Chief Executive Eric Schmidt, can skirt downturns entirely by coming up with innovations that change the game in their industries—or create new ones.
