Technology - Can you make a sail out of newsprint? - "Prototype - How Old-Technology Companies Can Extend Their Lives" - NYTimes.com

This is a very thoughtful essay by a professor at the Harvard Business School. In it, she talks about printing technology evolution and business planning, among other technologies, and suggests in conclusion that "selective, intelligent innovation in the old may just hold the key to the future". Surely, that's an idea worth debating at Managing the Crisis. It would be so helpful if we can include the experiences of companies in other sectors, as she does in this essay.
