Most Innovative Does Not Mean Best Investment

It's reality-check time for the 2010 Most Innovative Companies ranking, and for now, at least, reality is that while the list may spotlight the world's best generators of fresh products and services, these are not the best investments.

We published this year's roster three months ago. The list is based mostly on a survey of top executives around the world conducted by our long-time partner in the annual project, Boston Consulting Group. But the lineup is adjusted for financial performance including stock return. If we were presenting the ranking today, it undoubtedly would look different.

Of the 23 publicly traded companies in the Top 25, 13 underperformed the Standard & Poor's index of 500 stocks over the past three months. (And it's not that the S&P 500 has done all that well; it's down 11 percent since mid-April.) Just three honor-roll members were actually up: Apple, BMW, and Hyundai. By sector, only automotive came out ahead.

The laggards included seven of the Top 10, with every one of them--Google, Microsoft, Amazon.com, LG Electronics, BYD, General Electric, and Sony--down 18 percent or more. The biggest loser overall was 23rd-place Nokia; its share price has tumbled 45 percent since it was named one of the Most Innovative Companies of the year.

I'll check back in three more months to see if our ranking correlates more with stock performance. Meantime, what do you think this says about the power of innovation?

Melukis dengan Bahan Bara Rokok dan Obat Nyamuk

Untung Yuli Prasetiawan namanya, dia adalah seorang pelukis kreatif asal Magelang, Jawa Tengah. Mungkin anda sebagian sudah mengenal namanya. Karna hasil karyanya yang unik, menggunakan Obat Nyamuk Bakar serta Bara Rokok, ia biasa dipanggil Wawan Geni.

Juru sungging muda yang satu ini memang aneh sekaligus menakjubkan. Ide kreatif yang ia geluti sejak tahun 2003 berasal dari keisengannya membakar kertas dan muncul menjadi tehnik lukis dengan cara dibakar. Piranti dan sarana dalam melukis tidak seperti pelukis pada umumnya yaitu cukup dengan menggunakan bara api. Media lukisannya pun dai kertas malaga, jenis kertas yang agak tebal yang biasanya digunakan untuk pembungkus roti. Sedangkan bara api bisa dari rokok, obat nyamuk bakar, dupa, lidi dan pernah menggunakan upet. Tetapi hanya bara rokok dan obat nyamuk bakar saja yang dinilai paling efektif untuk melukis, karena nyala bara apinya stabil.

Untuk menyelesaikan sebuah lukisan Wawan membutuhkan waktu lama, rata-rata tiga bulan untuk setiap karyanya. Paling cepat sebulan, itu kalau ukuran kertas lukisannya kecil. Tapi kalau ukurannya besar bisa selesai sampai setengah tahun. Sebuah lukisan bisa menghabiskan rokok 17 bungkus dan 19 bungkus obat nyamuk bakar. Dan dalam meniup bara api rokok dan obat nyamuk, sebuah lukisan bisa ribuan kali tiupan. Cara meniup dan menyundutkan bara api di kertas ini juga memerlukan teknik khusus supaya asap obat nyamuk atau asap rokok tidak banyak yang terhirup pernapasan. Dia hanya memperhatikan arah datangnya angin, kalau angin datang dari arah kanan dia meniup dari arah kanan, demikian sebaliknya. Lukisan yang sudah selesai, kertas lukisan disemprot cat warna bening (clear), agar kertas lebih awet tidak berjamur.

Keunikan cara melukis dengan teknik bakar ini telah diakui oleh Museum Rekor Indonesia (MURI). "Mungkin melukis dengan teknik bakar ini yang pertama di dunia," kata pimpinan Muri, Jaya Suprana. Dan tak tanggung-tanggung lukisan yang ia pun sudah terjual ke mancanegara seperti Singapura. Banyak juga wisatawan asing yang datang ke Indonesia untuk melihat lukisannya. Salah satu Wisatawan dari Jepang mengatakan bahwa ia belum pernah menemui teknik melukis seperti ini.
