Lucent, The Mobile Innovation Initiative Study Wireless, Data Mobility
One way to peer into the future is to study the past, Kulatilaka says. "We’ve begun asking what happened around massive historic capital investments?railroads and interstate highways, for example. Just as the rise of railroads brought about the growth of the telegraph, we’ll look for what might follow the convergence of the Internet and wireless mobility," he says.
MII’s findings will be made public on the Lucent website and at conferences later this year, says John C. Henderson, chairman of Boston University’s management information systems department and executive director of the BU Institute for Leadership in the Dynamic Economy, the institute under which MII is organized. "This program will also allow industry fellows to work in a university setting and vice versa. Our goal is to create an environment where data mobility topics can be discussed across several disciplines."
Through its involvement Lucent hopes to gain insight into where it should build alliances for future business development.
