I was just at the Lean Startup conference, and a lot of the headline speakers were from big companies like GE and Intuit. A large portion of the audience was from names I recognized as well. Being a startup is immensely fashionable.

If large companies can figure out how to house innovation, it would solve some major problems that they have. But our current model of management is basically inimical to true innovation, so personally I'm skeptical.

Yeah, the "start-up" label is subject to cargo-culting.
