Our readingWhat is a korrent?

A maker should lead the public with new products instead of asking what they want, because the public does not know what is possible.

Drawn from what Akio Morita said

What these subjects mean

innovation Where new things come from and how they spread: invention against diffusion, and being near the factory floor.

customer demand Where demand for a product comes from: whether it is already there to be found, or is made by the people selling.

Can you create demand, or only find it?under our view: Makers and salesmen bring demand into being, and a want is only potential until they act

What Akio Morita actually said

  1. Akio Morita Japanese businessman (1921 to 1999)
    Our plan is to lead the public with new products rather than ask them what kind of products they want. The public does not know what is possible, but we do.
