March,
Thanks for the CBS link. It’s interesting to see what researchers found when evaluating Radiohead’s unusual way of promoting their music. I found it surprising that a good amount of fans felt that they needed to pay a fair amount and didn’t take advantage of the offer. I agree with your point regarding other artists and the intimidation…[Read more]

Mori,
You brought up a lot of great points. I personally think that there is a certain degree of better overall quality when a book is published through a noteworthy publishing house and agent. I have read some self-published books written by Indie authors and have found multiple grammatical errors as well. This doesn’t seem to be the case for…[Read more] -

I think it is safe to say that a company needs to consider multiple factors before implementing open innovation. The best place to start is by having a solid groundwork which clearly identifies the company’s culture, mission, values, finances, processes, overall strategy, and goals. In addition to this, the company should have a clear outline of i…[Read more]

In my opinion, digital media has multiple advantages over traditional, physical media. I have to agree with everyone with the concept of financial savings as record industries have seen a significant drop in costs that are related to record distributions and other marketing initiatives. However, I do think the overall advantages go well beyond…[Read more]

The articles we read that discussed the topic of disruptive change had me looking at various career fields and how they have been affected by innovation. I think it is safe to say that the book publishing industry has seen some disruptive changes secondary to innovative technology as it allows individuals to self- by going online rather than the…[Read more]

For the past two years, I have been an active member of NJSCC which is a state consortium for hospital stroke coordinators and neuroscience managers and directors. I became a member after I was originally hired as my hospital’s stroke coordinator, but have remained a member as I transitioned into the neurosciences program management role. The…[Read more]

Great idea. I am in healthcare administration and I think a hospital would be a good place to start.

Cataldo,
I like the idea of a hybrid model. You made a good point when pointing out the pros and cons of utilizating AWS. I agree AWS ultimately reduces costs, but they aren’t as flexible as the IT professional. I know where I work the organization utilizes a full IT department, however more employees are starting to inquire about utilizing…[Read more]

Amanda,
You bring up a lot of great points. The saying “think global, act local” really sums up what needed to be done in this situation. I agree Wyeth had a system that was primarily focused on local operations rather than having standardization on a global level. Transitioning into a global organization from this type of set up can be…[Read more]

I am also in the healthcare field and a lot of our physicians are advocating for Apple products. IT and the IT security team appear to be on board so I think it is only a matter of time. A lot of our physicians cover inpatients as well as outpatient offices so having an easy way of going into an EMR and putting in orders through a device like the…[Read more]

Eric,
You made a good point regarding AWS and cost. When I read the case study, I saw the numerous cost benefits for start up companies that would result from them using these web services. When using AWS, they really can invest their money in other areas and resources rather than having to put out large up front expenses for IT…[Read more]

In simplest terms, the “cloud” is an accessible server that allows individuals to access, retrieve, and store an infinite amount data on the internet, WiFi, or even cellular devices rather than a standard hard drive. This innovative technology has numerous benefits as it no longer calls for companies and individuals to be stuck with a physical dev…[Read more]

My current workplace supports BYOD (bring your own device) to a certain extent. I currently work at a regional medical center where all desktop PCs and laptops are purchased through IT and overseen and monitored by AIT security. When hospital administrators travel, we are encouraged to use the hospital laptops that we have been provided with.…[Read more]

The four primary web services that are offered by Amazon include Simple Storage Service (S3), Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Simple DB, and Simple Queue Service (SQS). Simple Storage Service (S3) provides a simple interface that can store and recover data from anywhere on the internet/web. This service ultimately allows developers the capability of…[Read more]

The ERP systems and global data warehouses carry a global nature in numerous ways which ultimately contributed to Wyeth’s underlying design, development, and implementation process. In order for a company to grow on a global scale, there must be standardization especially in regards to cost, payments, inventory management, shipping and d…[Read more]

Hey David,
This is a great example. Systems thinking is used so often in the medical field especially the hospital setting. At my medical center, we have a very similar meeting known as our Performance Improvement Steering Committee which also consists of a multidisciplinary team of nurses, physicians, and healthcare providers to perform a root…[Read more]

Cataldo,
I also really liked your example of value proposition and how it relates to the medical field specifically to transplant surgery. As a hospital administrator, I also see how extreme competition can be across multiple specialty areas. In my field, neurosciences, the market is also highly competitive especially when it comes to elective…[Read more] - Load More
