The Innovative Company I Chose
I've been researching 3M and there are a number of reasons why I'm so impressed with this company. To start, we are all very familiar with many of their brands such as Scotch, Post-it, Scotchgard, Scotch-Brite, Command, etc. To sum up a quote in a BusinessWeek article, 3M produces new and innovative products as if the company was still a startup and they are over 105 years old now! Plus, I find the variety of areas they work in totally fascinating - adhesives, advanced materials, biotechnology, films, nanotechnology, polymer melt processing, etc. My fascination with all these technical and science based areas comes from the fact that I have about 2 years worth of a chemistry/pre-med major under my belt (I think math is fun and chemistry is my favorite science)! Even though I'm a creative advertising major now I still find that I'm very interested in scientific and technological developments, but more as hobby-interest rather than something I'd like to pursue.
Anyway, here are a few links with information about 3M and their innovations:
