Learning Modules
How True Innovators Emerge from Crises
If you look at when some of today’s leading companies were started – such as Microsoft, Tesla, Apple, Uber, AirBNB – many were founded during tough economic times. When the environment is challenging, companies that succeed do so by becoming more innovative. This is where new companies have a unique advantage. Because they can move and adapt quickly, new companies can solve the problems that come with a constantly changing environment better than large, established companies where change is difficult.
