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.

More Than a Paycheck
Campbell, Dennis; Case, John; Fotsch, BillArticle HBS-R1801J-EFifty years ago a good blue-collar job was with a large manufacturer such as General Motors or Goodyear. Often unionized, it paid well, offered benefits, and was secure. But manufacturing employment has steadily declined, from about 25% of the U.S. labor force in 1970 to less than 10% today. Now a decent living entails more than a generous wage; it involves sharing the company's success with employees. Some companies offer a direct stake in the c...Starting at €8.20

But only a handful of companies have managed to do it successfully until now. In this article an MIT engineering professor and a Tuck professor of management explain why. After conducting a three-year study of reverse innovation pr...Starting at €8.20

However, necessity spawns innovation.

Transforming Health Care from the Ground Up
Govindarajan, Vijay; Ramamurti, RaviArticle HBS-R1804G-ELeadership and People ManagementThe U.S. health care system needs reform, but too often experts focus on top-down solutions stemming from federal policy changes. Such efforts alone, however, cannot fix a wasteful and misdirected system. What's needed is innovation driven by doctors, nurses, administrators, entrepreneurs, and even patients who are devising new solutions to daily challenges. This article looks at two examples of bottom-up innovation, each involving a radical tran...Starting at €8.20
