It seems that there should be better ways to innovate and market companies. This blog explores some alternatives. There’s quite a bit of fear in the economy today. But that can be seen either as an advantage or a disadvantage for innovation. In some ways, it’s both. Fear pushes companies to try new ideas and new approaches.
