• McKinsey’s Cloud Computing Report Is Partly Cloudy
  
  McKinsey & Company released a report, “Clearing the Air on Cloud Computing,” yesterday that claims that large corporations could lose money through the adoption of cloud computing. Virtualization is the optimal way to go, says McKinsey, and by implementing virtualization in-house, corporations can reduce costs when factoring in depreciation and tax write-offs. The report paints cloud computing as over-hyped and maintains that cloud computing services like Amazon Web Services (AWS) overcharge large companies for a service the companies could do better on their own.

• Five Mind-Blowing Web Stats You Should Know
  
  The following year I started a company, ZEFER, while at the management consulting firm McKinsey & Company. Ham owns some 100,000 domain names worth hundreds of millions and that generate estimated ad revenue of $70 million annually. Fifteen years have passed since I was first introduced to the web by Marc Andreessen and Jim Clark's launch of Netscape in 1994 . ZEFER was one of the earliest Internet services and development firms and we were both thrilled and lucky to be participants in the first days of Internet commercialization.

• Innovation on the Edge
  
  I’ve played on the edge throughout most of my professional career, whether it was doing deals in the Sultanate of Oman back in the 1970s, building a start-up around a new technology called the microprocessor in 1980, building a new Internet-focused practice for McKinsey in 1993 or spending more time in places like Bangalore, Shenzhen and Shanghai in the early part of this decade (my first visit to Shenzhen was actually in 1982 when I led a major manufacturing offshoring initiative there).

• Web 2.0 Predictions for 2008
  
  While Ajax is made from 100% open Web standards, it was never explicitly designed for the job of creating rich user experiences and it's proven tough going for many companies trying to create next generation Web experiences in Ajax. Most startups, as in any generation, will fall by the wayside and a few major success stories will emerge. It's the first work day of the new year and I thought I'd take some time to offer up my predictions for what will happen on the leading edge of the Internet this year. 2007 saw Web 2.0 -- defined here as the pervasive two-way Web

• MBAs Cheat. But Why?
  
  In a brilliant, McKinsey-award winning HBR article published way back in the Reagan years (1983), Robert Jackall observed that business success depends on pleasing the CEO - whose predecessor is, of course, the parent, the teacher, the professor. 1) Today's generation of business students, if cheating in school is any indicator, find it easier to justify questionable behaviors, suggesting they may be more prone to ethical problems. In 2006, Linda Trevino, Ken Butterfield and I published a study that showed that MBAs cheat more than other graduate students in the U.S. and Canada.

• Challenging Mindsets: From Reverse Innovation to Innovation Blowback
  
  Five years ago, John Seely Brown and I wrote an article for the McKinsey Quarterly entitled "Innovation Blowback: Disruptive Management Practices from Asia." While Western companies were lured into various forms of financial leverage, these entrepreneurs were developing sophisticated approaches to capability leverage in scalable business networks that could generate not just one product innovation, but an accelerating stream of product and service innovations. Views on innovation in developing economies are evolving rapidly, yet they still do not capture the full significance of what is going on.

  I spoke recently with Walter Kiechel about his new book, The Lords of Strategy , which describes the rise of the large strategy consulting firms — BCG, McKinsey, and Bain — as well as the business school professors who contributed conceptual frameworks and pragmatic insights to the strategy revolution. The giant firms, the McKinseys and the BCGs, specialize around their industry practices and around certain management concepts.
