A Theoretical Physicist (and Entrepreneur) on Why Companies Stop Innovating

Safi Bahcall, a former biotech CEO, began his career as a
theoretical physicist before joining the business world. He
compares the moment that innovative companies become complacent
ones to a glass of water freezing, becoming ice. The elements are
the same, but the structure of the company has changed. Bahcall
offers ways for growing companies to avoid these inevitable forces
and continue to innovate. He's the author of the book "Loonshots:
How to Nurture the Crazy Ideas That Win Wars, Cure Diseases, and
Transform Industries" and the HBR article “The Innovation
Equation."
