Special Report:
Innovation
What are the characteristics of a good digital business? "When I
see companies that are aggressive experimenters and are willing to
try and fail, that's one indicator," says Neil Sholay, vice
president of digital for Oracle EMEA. "Another is a willingness to
operate in uncharted territory, within that gray area where rules
are yet to be defined."
In the November issue of Profit, experts like
Sholay—as well as Oracle executives such as Mark Hurd
and Jon Chorley—talk about what it takes to create a truly
innovative company. Plus, learn about the technology that can help
you determine when a risk is really worth taking.
