Fumbling the Future tells how one of America's leading corporations invented the technology for one of the fastest-growing products of recent times, then miscalculated and mishandled the opportunity to fully exploit it. It is a classic story of how innovation can fare within large corporate structures, the real-life odyssey of what can happen to an idea as it travels from inspiration to implementation.
More than anything, Fumbling the Future is a tale of human
beings whose talents, hopes, fears, habits, and prejudices determine
the fate of our largest organizations and of our best ideas.
In an era in which technological creativity and economic change
are so critical to the competitiveness of the American economy,
Fumbling the Future is a parable for our times.
