Business Week has a very interesting blog post on the 10 worst tings a business can do during a recession to harm innovation. In short order creating a rigid cost driven business structure is a sure fire way to kill innovation. When business hunkers down and tightens belts it squeezes out the innovative opportunities such as outside exposure, conference experiences and a host of other creative stimuli that do not show bottom line value on a spread sheet. It is a great article to read and understand that the first reaction of contraction may be the worst.
