Start-Up or Stop: When Innovation Means Knowing How to Let Go
Companies need to update their products, develop new ones and break into
fresh markets. But equally important is the ability to cull projects
that aren’t working. Dan Levinthal, the Michael J. Crouch Visiting
Professorial Fellow at the Australian School of Business, describes it

of innovation for start-ups in the tech sector, where the knowledge
gained from unsuccessful initiatives is known as “flearning”.
