"I don't buy the notion that the world is organized the way universities and companies are. Ideas don't know what discipline they're in. We might kidnap them and say, 'That's a marketing idea' or 'That's an social studies idea.' But if you walked up to an idea on the street, it wouldn't know about that."
– Gerald Zaltman, Professor of Business Administration at Harvard, personal communication, October 2003.
