- idealmedtech 5y agoThe point is that they should have been innovating all this time, instead they rested on their laurels and bashed alternatives, and here we are.
- donny2018 5y agoIt’s interesting why they don’t see it coming until it’s too late. This is literally a textbook case nowadays. Kodak, Polaroid, Nokia, Yahoo, etc.
- touisteur 5y agoIsn't it literally the innovator's dilemma? Edit: I felt they'd found one organisational solution to this after the netburst bust, what with their R&D branch in Israel (?) working on an alternative (pentium m and what would become the 'Core' architecture) without too much disturbance and avoiding the pitfalls of working on competing products?
- alpanka 5y agoTo be fair, Nokia did innovate a lot. But there are only so much your engineers are allowed to do when competing with the company's current cash cow.
- throwaway744678 5y agoTo be fair, this is easy to say in hindsight; but it also does not account for companies that successfully embrace new technologies/paradigm shifts/etc, and for all the fads that incumbent companies rightfully dismissed.
