10 Companies That Failed To Innovate and Change

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)                      

Speaking of Windows Phone, Microsoft the next one in our list of companies that failed to innovate and change had a so-called “lost decade,” during which the company went through a series of bad breaks. In almost every significant tech trend there was since 2000, Microsoft had the chance to compete, but it either fumbled in execution or simply opted not to get in. Make no mistake, Microsoft is still significant as a company, but it could have been set for even more success. The good news for the company is that things appear to be improving in this regard under current leader Satya Nadella, who has also cited Microsoft’s lack of innovation in the past. “It always bothered me that we confused an enduring mission with a temporal goal,” Nadella recently told USA Today in regards to the company’s mission of having a computer in every home.
