- 2. ©20102 HP continues its astonishing transformation under CEO Mark Hurd, from an underperforming printer-reliant giant into the world's largest tech company (almost $130 billion a year in revenue), thriving in multiple markets. Last year, it surpassed Dell as the top PC seller and in the process showed Apple-worthy design chops with its sleek TouchSmart computers featuring touch-screen functionality. HP's $2.7 billion acquisition of 3Com -- a year after the $13 billion deal for EDS made it an instant IBM (#18) rival -- signals that it's ready to take on Cisco (#17). Source: Fast Company 2010

- 11. ©201011 'A powerful new idea can kick around unused in a company for years, not because its merits are not recognized, but because nobody has assumed the responsibility for converting it from words into action. Ideas are useless unless used. The proof of their value is only in their implementation.' (Theodore Levitt)

- 41. ©201041 Five takeaways re: stimulating Innovation (3M) 1. "Give it a try--and quick!" - Essentially echoing on having a process to try out a lot of stuff, and keeping what really works. The key here is to do something. Keep on trying something new. 2. "Accept that mistakes will be made." - Learn from the mistakes quickly, and move on. Failures are part and parcel of what creates new innovation. Don't repeat the same mistakes. 3. "Take small steps." - Experiment, but on a small scale. When something looks promising, go all out and seize the opportunity. This way one can do plenty of inexpensive experiments that create a funnel of would-be innovations. 4. "Give people the room they need." - Without entrepreneurship, there is no experiment. Without experiment there is no success or failure. People need some time and room to experiment. 5. "Mechanisms - build that ticking clock!" - How do you harness creativity and build innovation? It cannot happen simply by chance. Companies need to create practices and tangible mechanisms to experiment, try out new ideas and innovate. Acknowledgement:Jim Collins and Jerry I.

- In 1983 he proposed a definition for corporate purpose: The purpose he said is to create and keep a customer. His words are an authoritative and insightful statement about the purpose of an enterprise. They go far beyond the hackneyed belief that business exist only to make money The key question that all managers must be able to answer, he advised, is “What business are you in?” The railroads, for example, “let others take customers away from them because they assumed themselves to be in the railroad business instead of the transportation business,” he wrote. Nearly a quarter century later, Levitt created a still-raging controversy in the worldwide business community with his 1983 HBR article “The Globalization of Markets.” Besides popularizing the word “globalization,” he asserted that new technologies had “proletarianized” communication, transportation, and travel, creating a new commercial reality—the emergence of global markets for standardized consumer products at lower prices, thanks to economies of scale – a sea change that was especially evident in companies such as Coca-Cola, Kellogg’s, and McDonald’s. He insisted that the future belonged not to the multinational corporation, but to the “global corporation” that did not cater to local differences in taste.

- If Apple sticks to the timeline established with earlier models, a new iPhone would be shown off in June or July. The prototype that was in Gizmodo's possession apparently differs from existing iPhones in several key ways, both feature-wise and cosmetically. It includes a front-facing video chat camera, an improved regular back camera, a camera flash, a better display, a micro-SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card, and more. It will also no doubt run the previously announced iPhone version 4.0 software, which among other new features will permit you to run multiple apps at once. The lost phone saga began the night of March 18, according to Gizmodo, when an Apple software engineer identified by Gizmodo as Gray Powell inadvertently abandoned the device on a bar stool in a Silicon Valley beer hall. Another patron ended up with the device and apparently tried to return it to Apple. Gizmodo says no one there took him seriously. But Apple knew the device was missing and by the next day had remotely wiped its data. The phone eventually ended up at Gizmodo, which paid $5,000 to the person who found it, in Chen's words "to do the due diligence to make sure it was real."

- These are the first revenue generating HP applications to be sold on the iPhone Apps Store. The HP Calculator applications have sold over14k units generating almost $200k in revenue.
- The tablet, which is equipped with 1.6-GHz Intel Atom Z530 processor, has an 8.9-in. 1024-by-600 capacitive touch-screen display, according to Engadget. The high-end and low-end models both have a five-hour battery, and an SDHC slot, a USB port, a SIM card slot for an optional 3G modem and a dock connector. Dan Olds, an analyst at Gabriel Consulting Group Inc., said HP's device looks to be a strong machine, but it will have stiff competition out of the box, since the iPad hype is likely to continue. "On the face of it, HP's Slate might be a better machine for people who aren't already fully vested in the Apple ecosystem," said Olds. "HP's device runs Windows 7, so it can run software that people already know and have. It looks like it can multitask -- something the iPad can't do. And it has the ability to easily connect to other devices like printers and cameras -- another place where the iPad comes up short." Rob Enderle, principal analyst at Enderle Group, said the HP tablet is an attractive device, but it falls short when it comes to battery life. The HP Slate can reportedly run up to five hours on battery power, while the iPad can get 10 to 11 hours. Ceding such an advantage to a competitor wouldn't bode well for a device that is already far behind on the hype meter.
- EMEA has low keyboard volumes but high language needs and our current MOQ’s are too large for each language. Therefore we are using POD (Print on Demand) to enable keyboard sales. We source as much of the individual parts of the product from China (low cost region) and then create the specific localized version in region when we know what products we need. China suppliers create blank keyboards (CDs, QSG, warranty card, etc) and ship in brown craft box. Also create final packaging as a generic outer box. We also source stickers for the outer box from China suppliers that will be identify the specific sku/UPC. All this is shipped to the Flextronics who will print on demand the keyboard for the specific language needed and affix the necessary SKU/UPC stickers. The product is then shipped to Foxconn where they put the Violator label (identifies the keyboard language) on outside of box.

- 2 years ago, U.S. companies dominated our Most Innovative Companies ranking, easily outnumbering corporations based outside of America. But now that the global economy seems to be growing again, senior executives surveyed by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) no longer consider the U.S. the be-all and end-all in innovation. Yes, Apple reigns as No. 1 again, trailed by silver medalist Google. And Microsoft and IBM find themselves back in the top five, based on BCG's global poll. But for the first time ever, more companies on our Top 50 are based outside the U.S. China's rise is the fastest. A year ago, its only representative was Lenovo, at 46. This year Greater China is tied with Asia's postwar powerhouse, Japan, thanks to showings by BYD (8), Haier Electronics (27), Lenovo (29), China Mobile (44), and Taiwan-based HTC (47). To make room for 2010's freshmen, a half-dozen American giants on 2009's list got dumped: AT&T, ExxonMobil, 3M, Johnson & Johnson, Southwest Airlines, and Target. For more details on the ranking,
