Summary
  1. Stefik and Stefik decry the recent reliance on open innovation, where businesses purchase technologies from outside, market their technologies to other companies, and subsequently outsource manufacturing. They claim that it leads to a breakdown in the innovation ecology, creating fewer true transformations and razor-thin profit margins. Instead they advocate innovations that depend on a combination of science, imagination, and business.
