Where corporate innovation dies

Why big companies can’t innovate:

Big companies have plenty of great ideas, but they do not innovate because they need a whole hierarchy of people to agree that a new idea is good in order to pursue it. If one smart person figures out something wrong with an idea — often to show off or to consolidate power — that’s usually enough to kill it.

Corporate committees are where company-saving ideas go to die.
