Harvard Business Review - May 2014
Innovative management ideas that bubble up in other companies pose a perennial quandary: Should you attempt to borrow them, and if so, which ones and how? Even the most promising practices can fail if they're transplanted int he wrong firm.
The best approach is to extract the essential principle from a management innovation - its underlying logic - by asking a series of questions about it, including: How is your company different from the originating firm? Are the innovation's goals worthwhile for your organization? Even if you decide the idea isn't right for you, the analysis can help you better understand your own management models and sharpen your practices.
