The dilemmas related to corporate vs. maverick approaches are not new. Fast-forward to today’s world and we see that a maverick culture is still cutting-edge.

Top scientists around the world were commissioned for their technical input. What’s interesting is that among such futuristic studies as ‘programmable matter’, ‘invisibility cloaking’ or ‘meta-materials, in that list there was also – ‘corporate vs. maverick inventor cultures’.2
