the environment and human health. Local governments are facing huge
costs to handle e-waste, and even greater costs (for medical
treatment and eco-recovery) if they do not capture this toxic
stream and handle it in an appropriate manner.

Title:
Becoming a Leader Among Leaders: Electronics CEOs
reflect on their innovation capabilities
Synopsis:
Given the electronics industry’s track record, few would
question whether electronics companies are innovative. But when IBM
spoke to electronics industry CEOs in the IBM 2006 Global CEO
study, we were surprised to learn just how confident they were. The
decisive majority perceive themselves not just as innovative, but
as innovation leaders. Clearly, this exuberance does not reflect
reality. In actuality, there are far more followers than
front-runners. So what does it take to be a real innovation leader
in an industry where ingenuity is prized and competition is fierce?
How does a company create innovation that really matters?
