A new study by Stall Point Initiatives of 500 companies that were amongst the Fortune 100 or international equivalents in the past 50 years shows that close to 90 percent of them suffered a major reversal in growth at one stage.

One of the identified reasons was a change in corporate culture that can makes the devlopment of game-changing initiatives increasingly harder.
