A citadel of science and scholarship, it was also a hotbed of creative thinking that flourished from the 1920s to the 1980s. But the factory's workings have remained largely hidden until now. The Idea Factory considers why researchers and business leaders today look to Bell Laboratories as a model, hoping to incorporate its magic into their own work. Can strokes of genius be accelerated, replicated and standardised? What are the principles of innovation? The history of Bell Laboratories provides crucial answers about where good ideas come from that can be applied by anyone. |
