A Reverse-Innovation Playbook
Govindarajan, VijayArticle HBS-R1204J-EStrategyReverse innovation--developing ideas in an emerging market and coaxing them to flow uphill to Western markets--poses immense challenges, because it requires a company to overcome the institutionalized thinking that guides its actions. That's why the experience of the automobile-infotainment division of Harman International is so impressive. The U.S.-based business, known for ultrasophisticated dashboard audiovisual systems designed by German engi...Starting at €8.20

Kaplan, Robert S.; Norton, David P.; Rugelsjoen, BjarneArticle HBS-R1001J-EStrategyFully half of all joint ventures are a failure.

The reasons are not mysterious: the partners have divergent strategies; the goals set for the venture are ambiguous; partnership agreements quickly become obsolete; and middle managers don't have clear strategic principles to work from. The problems can be remedied if companies switch their focus f...Starting at €8.20
