I don’t see how Nintendo ranks so low given they put out the Wii, the most innovative console in, well, forever.

It's a BusinessWeek list, so conformity to the Clintonian ideals of diversity and welfare capitalism are probably essential to a firm's inclusion. And size helps. Boeing's engineers have been saying for decades that the place is run identically to Dilbert's company, so one wonders just how much real innovation goes on, aside from an occasional good idea from R&D?

Maybe what this list really points out is how few genuinely innovative larger firms there are aside from Apple and Google - sheer size quickly becomes a limiting factor.
