Growth Platforms, Not Idea Competitions, Drive Innovation

Sony’s drive for reinvention is admirable, yet sad.  Recognizing that the one-time inventor of massive industries has lost its way, the company has taken to sponsoring massive idea competitions in which hundreds of teams may pitch concepts and ten winners might emerge.  Sony’s search for ideas in a bottom-up way is leading it to process data from drones, build online education platforms, and enter the world of online real estate brokerage.  Results?  Scant.
