Three new innovation models are emerging. One is process innovation: wiring everyone to the same network and leveraging the cost, talent, and volume of an integrated global economy. Another is creating pint-sized products and services sold cheaply to masses of poor people. A third is innovating through local partnerships and networks to get around external hurdles, whether bad roads in India or bad government policy on IP in China.
