The Innovator´s Dilemma: what I have learned with the technical review of this book
When M.Books editor´s, my friend Milton Assumpção, has asked me to help them with the technical review of a book about "innovation", I have felt very happy. After discovering that this book was the classical best-seller, The Innovator´s Dilemma, written by Harvard Professor Clayton M. Christensen, I have become much happier.
To do this job I have spent around 20 days... very excited [and extremely fast] days, because this book was expected to be (re)launched at HSM Management 2011 business show and the author would be in Brazil to open the show (first speaker).
This book was published originally in 1997 (USA) when the commercial Internet in Brazil was in its "first steps" started in the end of 1995. Reading the book I have found the expression "Internet appliances" when the author has mentioned a very important phrase regarding this: [...] "In the near future, "Internet appliances” may become disruptive technologies to suppliers of personal computer hardware and software."[...], and then I have done a technical note regarding that. Explaining better: Nowadays, devices like smart phones, tablets, personal GPS with maps of routes / cities, TV with internet access, etc.. are often used in place of the microcomputer (hardware) and already have their own useful applications preinstalled (software) - the author noticed this trend of disruptive innovation 15 years ago.
 The book, which was nominated by The Economist in June/2011 as one of the six most important business books of the last 50 years, is full of discoveries led to the business world (management and innovation), although it seems very technical in its early chapters.
In my opinion, some of the issues should be highlighted to the reader's attention: disruptive innovation, value networks and "RPV theory" (resources, processes and values).
I recommend this reading for entrepreneurs and innovators - the Portuguese edition of the book "The Innovator's Dilemma", with new review and update, will be available in bookstores in Brazil in 2012.

Brazilian vertical search engines
Which are the opportunities to innovate in the search engine industry? In my opinion this niche is still too immature... I believe there are a lot of new resources [ functionalities] to be created in order to improve the user experience.
Those well known [generalist] search engine, such as, Yahoo!, Google and Bing can search by keywords in billions of pages and links, but can't solve a simple question locally - for example: where can I buy shoes near of my office?
In Brazil there are good projects in operation focusing on vertical search engines - they are: Baixaki and Superdownloads (downloads - software and games), Aonde and Busk (links and news), Buscape and Zoom (product's prices) and also Mundi (flight tickets and hotels).
::buscas.com is still in developing... I hope shortly to show you some good new ideas to the search engine industry.
=) Enjoy yourself!
