Gordon Moore, who predicted that data density would double every 18 months, would be the first to tell you it was not a stroke of genius on his part. Things like the road map are a self-fulfilling prophecy. Creativity may have been stifled, but maybe if you look at how the business has expanded, it’s hard to see how it could have been done any better. Your talk is astonishing to me. I read the financial section, and your business is in meltdown. It is the worst catastrophe in the history of the telephone since Alexander Graham Bell.

Allen Clamen: Manufacturing and marketing managers tend to have projects that are a little bit shorter term than your technology manager. They report to a business manager, who is responsible for longterm prospects as well as the long-term success of his enterprise. The business manager must be cognizant that a company can’t have 90 percent of its activity in the short term or it will, in the long term, be unsuccessful. That is viewed at each portfolio management team meeting. We look at the percentage of projects in each time frame and require 30 percent of the projects to be long term as part of the business strategy.

I’m not talking about, in this case, supporting a central corporate laboratory. That may be behind some of this. Michael Schrage: Absolutely, but in both of those contexts the convergence of allocation of overhead is present. Given a portfolio and a particular perception, we want to charge a certain amount to overhead rather than another amount. If the portfolio is put in the incremental innovation category, we do a different overhead formulation than if it is pioneering research. I’ve seen organizations blow themselves up over the political aspects of that debate.
