One of the largest tech conferences around is CES. Traditionally, the Las Vegas event provides tech enthusiasts with a glimpse into the future, what should they expect to see from the industry’s incumbents and start-ups in the future.

Does Innovation have a Dark Side?
As innovation lovers, we always like to describe innovation as a great, positive and helpful thing. However, as Clayton Christensen describes in his famous article “The Innovator’s Dilemma“, a lot of companies, oftentimes incumbents, experience in their industries, innovation has a negative, darker side as well. This side can damage these incumbents and wipe them away. Exactly on this topic, Dr. Ankush Chopra, has written his book .

The Top 7 Smart Bracelets Around
As you all probably noticed, one of the biggest business ideas in 2015 is wearable technology.

This means that we are far beyond the innovators and early adopters adoption, and that we are the heart of the S-Curve of Innovation growth phase which I find fascinating, especially since this market didn’t exist 5 years ago!

Why Large Corporations Fail To Grow?
One of the major problems that result in large corporations’ failure to grow and develop itself is the lens through which these companies look at their environments. Oftentimes, as mentioned in the Innovator’s Dilemma post, companies believe they would be successful if they will continue to use the same capabilities and serve the same markets as they have done traditionally. However, that is exactly the reason that these companies will eventually fail. To explain this phenomenon and offer a practical solution Theodore Levitt, one of the most influential business thinkers of his time, defined the term .

After I have graduated from my MBA, my mom asked me what can she give me as a present.

Living in New York is great. Beyond all the tasty food and amazing culture, the entrepreneurial scene is alive and kicking. As a result, if you are interested, you can actually meet new entrepreneurs and start-ups on a daily basis. Therefore, since I have moved to the city about two months ago, I decided to make an effort and participate in these events whenever I can.
At one of these events, I discovered Prooffix, a proofreading marketplace that enables its users to improve their written documents by connecting them to proofreaders who were vetted by the company in advance (this is considered one of the company’s value propositions in comparison to its competitors).
