The Missing Ingredient in Innovation
Patience
World Economic Forum, 2018
What's inside?
Patience is a virtue, both in life and in innovation investing for the long term.
Recommendation
Transformative, high-payoff innovations like GPS take a long time to come to market. They typically emerge from multiple paths of investment in basic research and development. What they need are “patient capital” commitments that give visionaries the chance to explore new ideas and applications. In this brief article, academics Mark Dodgson and David Gann offer a thoughtful and well-articulated overview of patient investing, a much-needed but often-neglected financial area. getAbstract recommends this important analysis to investors and inventors.
