Hello Everyone,

Over the last few years the traditional thinking about innovation has been turned on its head. We used to assume that innovation was driven by access to the most advanced tools and resources. But the emphasis has shifted more recently to the role that scarcity plays in driving innovation. This change has inspired a newfound belief that innovation will emerge from the bottom up, out of developing markets, as opposed to being exported by rich nations like the U.S. and Japan.

Hello Everyone,

National Geographic Channel (NGC) is all set for a nationwide quest to discover India's most innovative and creative ideas with Yamaha - Shaping the Future series. The second edition of the Global Innovation Index in 2008 ranked India 41 in the Top 130 list of the world's Most Innovative Countries.

The channel has roped in a few leading institutes of India to participate in the hunt by inviting teams of students to submit their innovative ideas focusing on environment, technology, human issues and re-engineering.

Rajesh Sheshadri, senior vice-president, content and communication, National Geographic Channel India, says, "We believe that the innovation potential of India is immense and that much of it remains untapped and hidden. The real endeavour of the programme is to unearth this and to also provide a relevant platform that showcases India as an innovation powerhouse."

Hello Everyone,

Today, Harvard Business Review published “How GE is Disrupting Itself,” which dives into the radical way in which GE is using what the company calls “reverse innovation” to rapidly accelerate growth in global and emerging markets. Co-authored by GE Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt; GE’s chief innovation consultant Vijay Govindarajan, who is Professor of International Business and director of the Center for Global Leadership at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth; and Chris Trimble, who is also on the faculty of Tuck and a consultant with GE; the in-depth analysis explains how GE is literally reversing its traditional business model.

Rather than follow its historical path of developing high-end products and adapting them for emerging markets, GE is developing local technologies in these regions and then distributing them globally. To kick-off our three-part series, GE Reports presents the first of two podcasts by Vijay Govindarajan — as well as a full copy of the Harvard Business Review article, which is available via a free download in the middle of this page.
