Description
Edmund Phelps ("Economic Justice and the Spirit of Innovation," October 2009) wrote with insight regarding the "morality of the marketplace." Having spent the past seven years studying--with Abbie Griffin (University of Utah) and Raymond Price (University of Illinois)--individuals responsible for breakthrough innovation in large, technology-based American companies, I have come to believe, further, that there is a morality of true innovation. Consistent with Phelps' argument, we observe that breakthrough innovators are discoverers: of the most important problems on which to focus, of solutions that serve customer and company alike, and of how to navigate interpersonal relationships in their firms. The most successful hold fast simultaneously to multiple technical domains as well as to customer, market, financial, and manufacturing insights while having the vision to see--again, to discover--the innovative concepts that connect the dots across this complex set of constraints. True innovators transcend both formal corporate innovation processes and mere random guessing. Interestingly, many of these rare individuals speak of a faithlike expectation that they will discover something good as they pursue fulfilling the needs of others.
