Study Notes
Innovation
- Innovation is a combination of creativity and implementation.
- Ideas are only valuable if they are implemented.
Sources of Innovation
- Shocks: Sudden events that trigger innovation, such as an unexpected need or a discovery.
- Chance: Unintentional or unexpected discoveries leading to innovation.
- Imitation: Copying existing ideas or products to generate innovation.
- Recombination: Combining existing concepts and elements to create something new.
- Regulation: External rules or regulations that can force companies to innovate, for instance, requiring hotels to register.
Types of Innovation
- Invention: Creation of a completely new product, service, or process.
- Extension: New applications or uses for existing products, services, or processes.
- Duplication: Creating a creative replication of an existing concept.
- Synthesis: Combining existing concepts and factors to form a new product or use.
Models of Innovation Opportunities
- Market-Pull/Technology-Push: This model emphasizes the driving factors of innovation.
- Market-Pull: Innovation driven by demands from the market. Companies identify unmet needs and develop technologies to address them.
- Technology-Push: Innovation driven by new technologies. Companies develop products and services based on emerging technologies, often leading to new needs and applications.
Innovation
- Innovation is a combination of creativity and implementation.
- Innovation can stem from technology push, market pull, or a combination of both.
Sources of Innovation
- Shocks are unexpected events that can lead to new innovations; For example, the discovery of penicillin resulted from a contamination of a bacterial plate culture.
- Chance is the unexpected discovery of something new.
- Imitation is the creative replication of an existing concept.
- Recombination is the combining of existing concepts and factors into new ideas.
- Regulation can force innovation by creating new rules for how businesses operate.
Types of Innovations
- Invention is the creation of a new product, service, or process.
- Extension is a new use or application of an existing product, service, or process.
- Duplication is the creative replication of an existing concept.
- Synthesis is the combination of existing concepts and factors into a new formulation or use.
Models of Innovation
- Market-Pull/Technology-Push model: Innovations are driven by either market demand (Market-Pull) or the availability of new technology (Technology-Push).
-
7 Sources of Innovation (Drucker):
- Unexpected occurrences (product/service success or failure or outside event)
- Incongruities (the gap between what is and what should be)
- Process needs (the “pain” in the marketplace)
- Industry and market changes
- Demographics (population, education, income changes, age, occupations, geographic locations, and similar factors)
- Perceptual changes (in what is in or out, acceptable or not)
