Extractions: Opinion Lowell, Massachusetts By Stephen Adams February 8, 2004 One of the most powerful attributes of our free market system is its ability to foster innovation. In the drive for a competitive edge, companies seek innovative ways to produce their products or create entirely new products to provide for the needs and wants of consumers. But this urge to innovate can be stymied in a company that gets large, bureaucratic and set in its ways. For these firms the results are always painful and sometimes fatal. Digital Equipment Company (DEC), once second only to IBM in the North American computer market, has faded into oblivion. Some blamed DEC’s bureaucratic, consensus-driven management style for failing to make important changes in time, including the move to personal computers. A single-minded strategy to support existing technology prevented innovators from within the company from advancing new technologies. Motorola, once a leader in wireless communications struggles to recover from its loyalty to the analog technology it pioneered. As a former executive of failed retailer Montgomery Ward told the Chicago Tribune, "Companies with strong cultures are resistant to change and get trapped in their own strategies." th graders scored below proficient in English Language Arts; 60 percent scored below proficient in mathematics.
