Here are some of the big ideas in business over the past 100 years, according to a short feature in BusinessWeek. Many were fads, but most — even the early ones — have had staying power:
- Open Innovation - 2000
- Reengineering - 19990
- Outsourcing - 1989
- Six Sigma - 1987
- 360-Degree Performance Reviews - 1973
- Scenario Planning - 1967
- Lean Manufacturing - 1950’s
- Skunk Works - 1943
- Brand Management - 1931
- Market Segmentation - 1920
- The Assembly Line - 1910
I haven’t found a comparable list of ideas in Law, but I’m intrigued by a book, The Little Book of Big Ideas: Law by Robert Hockett, forthcoming this spring.
