I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week

07/31/2026 | Michelle Te, I-Connect007
When I first came to the electronics industry, I was coming from the outside. Over time, I learned that this is not an industry that can be understood from just one angle. What happens in design affects manufacturing. Material choices affect reliability. Supply chain decisions influence business strategy, and advances in technology create new challenges and opportunities throughout the entire ecosystem. That complexity is one of the things I appreciate most about covering this industry. Each week, I’m reminded that there is always another layer to explore.

Manufacturers scaling a bonding, coating or printing process to full production rarely struggle with the science of surface treatment; they struggle with holding it steady, line after line, shift after shift.

SMT Perspectives & Prospects: The Architecture of Winston Churchill’s Leadership

07/24/2026 | Dr. Jennie Hwang -- Column: SMT Perspectives and Prospects
I was recently invited to visit the U.S. Embassy and the Churchill War Rooms in London, where I met Warren Stephens, U.S. ambassador to the UK, and Bank of England Gov. Andrew Bailey. From those modern diplomatic corridors to the stark resolve of a wartime bunker, the experience reminded me that leadership in this ever-shifting global landscape is, at its best, about bridging the wisdom of the past with the realities of the present.

It’s Only Common Sense: Creativity Is Noisy, Messy, and So Worth It

07/13/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common Sense
There is a dangerous disease spreading through business today called “waiting until everything is perfect.” It infects entrepreneurs, managers, engineers, marketers, writers, designers, and just about anyone trying to create something worthwhile. Symptoms include endless meetings, umpteen revisions of a logo no one notices anyway, PowerPoint presentations with more transitions than a Hollywood action movie, and people saying things like, “We’re almost ready to launch,” for three consecutive years.

It’s Only Common Sense: The Underrated Business Strategy of Joy

07/06/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common Sense
Somewhere along the way, businesses have become far too serious for its own good. We’ve started believing that exhaustion is proof of commitment, being stressed means importance, and that the more pressure we feel, the more productive we are. Entire workplaces have slowly lost their sense of fun, creativity, and humanity because our leaders became convinced that joy somehow distracts from performance instead of fueling it. I think that is one of the biggest mistakes modern companies make.
