There are few big companies that would not like to make a similar claim; for they think innovation is a bit
28、 like Botox inject it in the right corporate places and improvements are bound to follow. But too many companies want one massive injection, one huge blockbuster, to last them for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, successful innovation is rarely like that. The latest manifestation of Gillettes
29、innovative skill will appear in stores in North America next month. The global leader in mens “grooming products“ is rolling out a successor to its popular three-bladed Mach3 range. It will not, as comedians had long anticipated, be a four-bladed version. Rather, it will be the worlds first vibratin
30、g “wet shave“ blade. The battery-powered M3Power is designed to bounce around on your skin to give “a smoother, more comfortable shave“. For a company that claims to embody innovation, this is less than earth-shattering. On the innovation scale it falls closer to Brooks Brothers new stain-proof tie
31、than to the video-cassette recorder or the digital cameraespecially since there is a suspicion that Gillette may be keener to create synergy between its razor and its batteries division than it is to usher in a genuinely new male-grooming experience. Even in relatively zippy businesses like pharmace
32、uticals, genuinely new products are fewer and further between. Spending on pharmaceutical R but they never made a penny out of them. Indeed, says Mr. Baumol, the record shows that small companies have dominated the introduction of new inventions and radical innovations independent inventors come up
33、with most of tomorrows clever gizmos, often creating their own commercial ventures in the process. But big companies have shifted their efforts. Mr. Baumol reckons they have been forced by competition to focus on innovation as part of normal corporate activity. Rather than trying to make money from
34、science, companies have turned R that most things are part of a system in which everything interacts; that their job is to worry about trade-offs; and that they must continually be measuring the robustness of the systems they set up. Such a frame of mind, he believes, fosters innovation. It may be n
35、o coincidence that many of the greatest corporate leaders in America, Europe and Japan, past and present, trained first as engineers. Companies are being encouraged to embrace other forms of innovation too. In a recent issue of the MIT Sloan Management Review, Christopher Trimble and Vijay Govindara
36、jan, two academics from Dartmouth Colleges Tuck School of Business, recommend that they try a little “strategic innovation“. The authors point to examples such as Southwest Airlines, a low-cost American regional carrier, and Tetra Pak, a Swedish company whose packaging products are handled at least
37、once a day by most citizens of the western world. Such companies succeed, they say, “through innovative strategies alone, without much innovation in either the underlying technologies or the products and services sold to customers. “ Tetra Paks strategic innovation involved moving from the productio
38、n of packages for its customers to the design of packaging solutions for them. Instead of delivering ready-made containers, the company increasingly provides the machinery for its customers to make their own packages: the fishing rod, not the fish. Part D In the book, “The Innovators Solution“, publ
39、ished late last year, Mr. Christens en argued that established companies should try to become disruptive innovators themselves. He cites, for example, Charles Schwab, which turned itself from a traditional stockbroker into a leading online broker, and Intel, which reclaimed the low end of the semico
40、nductor market with the launch of its Celeron chip. There are, says Mr. Christensen, things that managers can do to make such innovations more likely to happen within their organizations. For example, projects with potential should be rapidly hived off into independent business units, away from the
41、smothering influence of the status quo. The ultimate outcome of any one disruptive innovation may still be unpredictable; the process from which it emerges is not. In the end, though, “no single innovation conveys lasting advantage,“ says Mr. Hammer. In the toys and games business today, up to 40% o
42、f all products on the market are less than one year old. Other sectors are only a little less pressured. Innovation and, yes, invention too, has to take place continually and systematically.

45、gton and Andrew Balls in New York The US economy generated 288,000 new jobs in April, surpassing even the most upbeat forecasts and bolstering confidence that the US economic recovery will be self-sustaining. Economists had expected a more modest figure after 337,000 jobs were created in March. Incl
46、uding upward revisions to March and February, the US economy has now generated one million jobs over the past eight months. The resurgence brings to an end a period in which strong economic growth failed to lead to fresh hiring and will help lay to rest concerns that the US economy would run out of steam after the temporary impact of tax cuts and mortgage refinancing had worked through the system. “These figures show that the Federal Reserve has succeeded in spades in extricating the US economy from its post bubble malaise,“ said Stuart Schweitzer, global markets strategist at JP Morg
