"In The Deviant's Advantage, Ryan Mathews and Watts Wacker demonstrate how ideas create increasingly profitable markets as they move from the Fringe, to the Edge, to the Realm of the Cool, to the Next Big Thing, to Social Convention. They also examine what happens to those ideas once they leave the limelight. The book tracks the products and people haunting the fringes of sex, science, art, language, faith, war and marketing, branding and macro-economics. Tomorrow's commercial success is an obsession in the mind of today's deviant. The Deviant's Advantage helps you understand how to mine that mind."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

One answer might be that executives would rather Mathews& Wacker look stupid and take the risks - which could suggest that true innovating companies may never contact M&W in the first place.
They seem fixated on the idea that fringe deviants are the only source of new ideas (the future mainstream) and spend time with Hip Hop artists (fashionable when the book was written) et al. As they say, " The greatest works of art and triumphs of science have their roots in the twisted mind of the deviant , the pariah, the social leper."
This seems to be questionable: Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin or more recently Bill Gates, Larry Page or Sergey Brin were notably prosperous, well educated and well connected before they made any breakthroughs. Also, it's only recently that art requires social lepers and plenty of this is a fake (fashion) buzz.
Overall I'm not convinced although the the Deviance and Business chapter is interesting. (
