Managing Innovation - An Oxymoron?
There's humor in that statement...

Managing Innovation - An Oxymoron?
(Salon 10 - 15 )
sscs.org

Moderator: Paul Brokaw, Analog Devices, Wilmington, MA
Organizers: Paul Brokaw, Analog Devices, Wilmington, MA
Klaas Bult, Broadcom, Irvine, CA
Christian Enz, Rockwell Semiconductor Systems, Newport Beach, CA

All recognize past innovations and their impact on everyday life. It is more difficult to define innovation and deal with questions such as: Why is innovation desirable? Is it affordable? Can one afford to do without it? And, assuming it is desirable at least some of the time, how does one manage to get the best of it? The panelists all deal with managing innovation, but each has experience with different aspects. After individually presenting their viewpoints and opinions, the panelists discuss opinions among themselves and with members of the audience. A brief written survey of audience opinion will be collected to stimulate the discussion.

Cube down 35% from last week's high and continuing its slide.

The Board of Directors needs to act quickly.

Yes! Back in the teens! Amazing. Where is First Boston now with their lofty $33.00 price target?
