CLINICAL TECHNOLOGY
"Churning Things Up" by Andy Grove
"What industry is the next candidate for nonlinear strategic actions? My favorite choice is the health-care industry."
You should be able to find this article on the Fortune magazine web site, however it is a premium service. I came across this article in Fortune - The Power Issue, Aug 11, 2003. A few weeks back I remember watching the Charlie Rose show where Grove was talking about the prospects for technological change in healthcare, but I didn't have time to watch him develop his thesis.
"As a technologist with an interest in business strategy, I have long been intrigued by what happens to industries when a new technology changes the rules of the game, usually by providing an order of magnitude--'10x'--improvement in cost-effectiveness. The history of technology-based industries--communications, computing, and health sciences--is marked by such transformations."
A Google search provided this blog entry courtesy of Rajesh Jain's blog, Emergic.org. It seems Grove description of 10x changes was presented in his 1996 book, "Only the Paranoid Survive." (more to come...)
