Pride can hinder innovation

A recent article on MarketingVOX about Apple’s plan (or lack thereof) for Flash video support offered interesting insight into the relationships of high-profile companies. In another article about Steve Jobs himself, there’s background on the CEO’s “my way or the highway” mentality. In related articles about the strain between Adobe and Apple (actually, the strain appears to be between Adobe and Steve Jobs), I wonder what the reality of Flash on the iPhone would be if Adobe and Steve Jobs played nicely and were “best friends?”
There’s a lot of finger-pointing if you read through the articles…and perhaps the sour relationship is justified. I often wonder how many other kids there are in the proverbial sandbox of corporations who also aren’t playing nicely.
