Spending big bucks can stifle brainwaves
Pledging to spend large amounts of money on innovation efforts can actually make it harder for companies to achieve their goals, writes Scott Anthony.

"If you are truly committed to innovation ... spend less money and more time," Anthony suggests. "You'll end up making substantially more progress."
