Title Seven Deadly Sins That Are Killing Corporate Innovation in America. The Critical Role of Leadership
 
Creator G. Crane, Frederick
Meyer, Marc H.
 
Description Research shows that the average firm is failing at innovation most of the time. We engaged in ethnographic research spending weeks in the field with more than 50 corporate executives in more than a dozen different corporations. We closely observed these executives when, by their own admission, they were engaging in innovation activities. We also interviewed them in depth about innovation within their respective organizations. We uncovered what we labelled the seven deadly sins that are killing corporate innovation in America. Importantly, we discovered that the failure to effective innovate, for the most part, rests squarely at the feet of the leadership of these organizations, in particular for not creating a culture that encourages and supports innovation and, in some cases, actually opposing innovation. However, on a positive note, we also believed that we unearthed some possible solutions that might help cleanse these sins and improve innovation within corporate America.
