By the beginning of the nineteenth centui"y, Fulton turned his attention to his obsession with submarines and steamships. He made uo secret of his goal for submarines—he intended to build them in order to destroy all ships of war so that appropriate attention could be devoted by society to the fields of education, industry and free speech. In 1801, he managed to stay under water for four hours and twenty minutes in one of his devices, and in 1805 he demonstrated the ability to utilize a torpedo to blow up a well built ship of two hundred tons. Unfortunately for Robert, neither the French nor British government was particularly impressed with the unpredictable success, nor the importance of his innovations so he packed his bags and returned to America in December of 1806.

An example from the recent past is provided by DSM, which carries outits research at Geleen in the Netherlands, but also in North America and Asia. In 1999 they reorganised this effort into 25-30 competence units . In the preceding decade innovations from outside the company had increased from 10% to 50%. At that time the company believed that in future 90% of innovations will start outside. They therefore intended to sustain the innovative process by translating concepts invented elsewhere into innovations at DSM.
