12. Innovators vs. Imitators

Being first is not often very important. You will have success if you can make a great deal of money out of good new ideas. In today’s business world innovators are often swept away by large corporations because they don’t have exceptional skill. The success of large corporations is based on their depth of technical expertise, their marketing skills. These characteristics and timing enable them to develop the innovative concept far more effectively than the innovators themselves. For example, Berkey produced the first handheld electronic calculators. But today the calculators we use are made by Casio. Our video recorder comes from Matsushita but its innovator was Ampex. But also we can see company, that are founded by true innovators. For example, Disney, Ford, Sony company.
