The poitn made in the articles is that big companies may have understood their weaknesses and improve their innovation capability. And do tno forget that a majority of people (at least in Europe) still believe big companies are the major innovotaion drivers and do not understand the start-up potential... I fully agree.

I have some thoughts that I would like to share. Well, It seems that big companies acquire the start-ups. last year Google acquired one company approximately every week. it means that it is not that big companies innovate but it is that they have the resources to out-resource their innovation. About P&G, I heard from an employee that they dedicate huge amounts of fund into their research and there are a lot of their new launched products that still fail exactly the same way that startups fail. So, they are using more and more the same approach as startups; because big companies have more available resources, they would have more chance to re-try. Nowadays, strange things might happen (say, anomaly); NetFlix was dare enough to canabalize his own revenues. of course, these phenomena are rare but could they become trend someday?? indeed very interesting article.
