Free Knowledge

If you are interested in innovation management and other business-related content, the MIT Web site is worth checking out (there's a permanent link on the right side-bar of this blog). Can you believe that you can sit at home and watch/listen to lectures by Clayton Christensen, James Utterback, and Rebecca Henderson for free?

I've watched these lectures dozens of times, which I wouldn't be able to do if it was a traditional, campus-based lecture, and found them to be a pleasant change from reading just books and journals. It's also great to see the faces behind the books. One of the most interesting lectures is the one about the ice industry by James Utterback. One of the most valuable takeaways for me from this lecture was Utterback's very important, and easy-to-miss statement that "functions are relatively stable" across time.

This is a must see-lecture!
