All 93 posts on Business Model Innovations on the EWPC Blog changed to Institutional Innovations

I just learned that I have been writing about business model innovations when I should be calling it institutional innovations on the Electricity Without Price Controls (EWPC) Blog. Please consider every one of those mentions to be replaced from now on. One concept that unites both business model innovations and institutional innovations concepts is that they are both systems architecture innovations that emerge with minimalist architectures.

Here is the source for the change. In his blog post Challenging Mindsets: From Reverse Innovation to Innovation Blowback, John Hagel writes that "This is not a question of business model innovation or the management innovation that Gary Hamel talks about. Those forms of innovation are still contained within a single enterprise. Institutional innovation is different - it defines new ways of working together, ways that can scale much more effectively across large numbers of very diverse enterprises."
