IMPLANTED VISION CHIP has been approved in Europe and a different device is pending approval in the US. A tiny electronic chip that is implanted in the eye is on sale for the correction of degenerative visual defects. The European chip requires no camera, unlike the US system that has a glasses-mounted camera. The results vary widely from patient to patient. @TechReview">http://techre.vu/166w05r >@TechReview View in LinkedIn

FAMILY-OWNED BUSINESSES who contemplate transitioning to modern governance (boards), business development (licensing and innovation), and market expansion (internationalization) often are daunted and suspicious. The owners typically have scant formal business backgrounds, and were trained by the family. The business has served as a cash cow for the family, and relies on continued inheritance to continue this way. There are numerous examples of such businesses that would prefer to drive the company into death than change. And others where the chain of inheritance is being broken. View in LinkedIn

TRANSPLANTING EYE CELLS is another option versus an electronic bionic eye. Stem cells for the eye are currently being investigated in the UK to make photoreceptors in blind mice. There are similar trials ongoing for macular degeneration, and induced autologous pluripotent cells in Japan. http://lnkd.in/A_yQtY View in LinkedIn

BOARDS are vital for good governance, strategy guidance, and giving some assurance to partners that the company is professionally managed (there are always Enrons). International partners scrutinize boards, and generally think that a company without them is Mom-And-Pop, and will have less trust in them. Equally, a world class board is third party validation, and can make a hugely positive difference in funding and partnering. View in LinkedIn
