We recently discussed in class the impact that innovators have on businesses and the world but we also hinted the importance of having a partner, co-founder or team to support you on your path to success. This idea lead my curiosity to discover what others had to say on the topic and this blog in particular proved to be worth my time.

Mr. Fox presents his view that innovation is initiated by intellectual circles with each member having a specific characteristic/role. I would agree with him, on the overall general idea that one’s idea must be criticized or encouraged by others for it to improve. As for the detail he goes in to regarding each members participation i wouldn’t say for sure is accurate, but fairly plausible.

Not only does he provide historic examples of such cases but has shown modern intellectual circles actively involving themselves in their peers ideas, but also encourages his readers to develop such groups for the greater good of the community.
