"The reason I got this job is that I focused on R&D. Does this company have the staying power and innovation to drive the next generation of innovation? If you can’t innovate, forget it! Innovation is not just painting things black. The wrap that Motorola had was that it had lots of stuff in the labs but couldn’t get it to market. All I’ve done since I got here is focus on one word: innovation. We’re going to put innovation back in the market."

Ed Zander, CEO of Motorola as quoted in BusinessWeek Online (August 22, 2005)
