  Inside: This Week in Innovation
This week Senior Writer Jessie Scanlon reports on how David Butler, Coca-Cola's design chief, has charted a new course for the company, using design to solve problems and improve customers' experiences. Writer Matt Vella, meanwhile, takes a look inside Blizzard Entertainment, the studio behind the online game World of Warcraft that was at the center of an $18 billion merger which closed this summer. Irving Wladawsky-Berger, a visiting professor at MIT, contributes a column looking at some of the major obstacles to a healthy innovation environment. And in this week's podcast, John Roese, Nortel's chief technology officer and innovation chief, discusses how the company reorganized its research and development teams in the wake of the telecom slump of 2001.
