Expert View

“Only the general manager can mold the resources, processes, and values that affect innovation, into a coherent capability to develop and launch superior new products and services repeatedly.”

— Clayton Christensen,
Influential American business consultant

“Every crisis brings with it change. Similarly on the business front, there will be changes, both at the macrolevel and the micro-level. At the macro-level, there may be re-organization and consolidation of assets. On the micro-level, I see businesses re-assessing a lot of the ‘givens’ — risk, operating efficiencies, capex etc. We will see technology taking a significant position for business solutions across the board.”
