Fear of the unknown
Article Abstract:
Innovation has become a fashionable term among US businesses, and companies that have performed well have tended to be successful innovators. Mergers are often carried out as a way of seeking new ideas. Large companies are concerned that innovations often occur in smaller firms. Venture capital is available for people seeking to commercialise new ideas. Some companies are setting up competitors that compete against their exisiting business. Much of the fear about innovation is linked to the high values of internet companies, though these values could be inflated.
