0708 - Summary/Objective
0709 -
070901 - Follow up ref SDS 11 0000, ref SDS 10 0000.
070902 -
070903 - The past few days I have looked at Christensen's book in more detail.
070904 - This was not a cover to cover read.  I read the introduction, and the
070905 - first chapter.  I read chapter 2 on "Value Networks" and the "Impetus
070906 - to Innovate," fairly carefully.  I skimmed chapters 3 - 6, and read
070907 - the last four (4) chapters 7 - 10 with come care, since these are
070908 - Christensen's conclusions and recommendations.
070909 -
070910 - A summary of Christensen's views are on 990527, ref SDS 11 5258, based
070911 - on direct quotes entered on 990527, in order to maintain continuity in
070912 - analysing Chirstensen's work.
070913 -
070914 - Morris has not responded to ref DIP 3 linked to our discussion on
070915 - 990527. ref SDS 11 0855
070916 - ..
070917 - Submitted ref DIT 1 with link to work on 990527. ref SDS 11 0001
070918 -
070919 - His last point was that Intel cannot afford to experiment with a
070920 - disruptive technology like Communication Metrics. ref SDS 11 5672
070921 -
070922 - He noted having overlooked the reference to Christensen in the letter
070923 - on 990526, possibly due to limited time for reading email, which he
070924 - does during meetings, as explained on 980722, ref SDS 6 0464.  The
070925 - notice and additional guidance on 990527 about Christensen, Morris'
070926 - comments on this information is helpful. ref SDS 11 3276
070927 -
070928 - Since Christensen was paid to make a presentation at Intel, and since
070929 - Morris was provided with notes of the event, it indicates interest in
070930 - Christensen's views.  The added analysis may justify further
070931 - consideration on the point about who should pay for experimenting to
070932 - improve management, as set out on 990527. ref SDS 11 5672
