2 Chapter 15 Introducing New Market Offerings

3 Learning Objectives 1. Where do new products come from? Overview of the innovation process. 2. What challenges does a company face in developing new products and services? The uncertainty of the innovation investments. 3. What are the main stages in developing new products and services from creativity to innovation? 4. What organizational structures and processes do managers use to oversee new-product development? An inquiry on appropriate business models. 5. What is the best way to manage the generation of new ideas and innovations?

4 Innovation Innovation has been studied in a variety of contexts in relation to technology, commerce, social systems, economic development, and policy building. There is a wide range of approaches used to conceptualize innovation in the literature.

5 What is Innovation? the process of making improvements by introducing something new the act of introducing something new: something newly introduced. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language the introduction of something new. Merriam-Webster Online a new idea, method or device. Merriam-Webster Online the successful exploitation of new ideas. Department of Trade and Industry,UK change that creates a new dimension of performance. Peter Drucker, Hesselbein, 2002 a creative idea that is realized. Frans Johansson, Harvard Business School Press, 2004 It is something new!

9 Invention vs. Innovation Invention - the creation of new tools or a novel combination of existing tools - is often confused with innovation. An invention is not an innovation until someone successfully implements and carry it into the market, and makes money from it. Note that innovation occurs when someone uses an invention - or uses existing tools in a new way to change how people work and/or how organize themselves, and how they conduct their lives.

10 Innovations and patents Inventions not in use Patents Inventions Not all inventions become innovations!

11 Innovation: key issues Innovation processes involve the exploration and exploitation of opportunities for a new or improved product, process or service, based either on an advance in technical practice ( know-how technology push innovation process), or a change in market demand (demand pull innovation process), or a combination of the two. It is therefore essentially a matching process. The classic paper on this subject is Mowery and Rosenberg (1979).

12 Demand pull or technology push innovation?

13 Demand pull or technology push innovation?

14 Innovation: key issues Innovation is inherently uncertain, given the impossibility of predicting accurately the cost and performance of a new artifact, and the reaction of users to it. It therefore inevitably involves processes of learning through either experimentation (trial and error) or improved understanding (theory). Technological uncertainty Market uncertainty

15 Technology or market uncertainty?

16 Understanding the market needs is fundamental!

19 Innovation: key issues Some (but not all) of this learning is firm specific. In these circumstances, the processes of competition in capitalist markets can be seen as one of purposive experimentation through competition for user acceptance between alternative products, systems, processes and services, and the technical and organizational processes that deliver them.

22 Innovation is related to: 1/2 1. The production of scientific and technological knowledge: since the industrial revolution, the production of scientific and technological knowledge has been increasingly specialised, by discipline, by function and by institution. 2. The transformation of knowledge into working artefacts (theory remains an insufficient guide to technological practice, given the growing complexity of technological artefacts, and of their links to various fields of knowledge). Technological and business history has made major contributions here and, more recently, the cognitive sciences.

23 Innovation is related to: 2/2 3. Responding to and creating market demand: this involves a continual process of matching working artefacts with users requirements. The nature and extent of the opportunities to transform technological knowledge into useful artefacts vary amongst fields and over time, and determine in part the nature of products, users and methods of production. 4. In the competitive capitalist system, corporate technological and organisational practices co-evolve with markets (creation of new sectors). These processes are central concerns of scholars in management, economics and marketing studies.

27 From creativity to innovation Organizational creativity Organizational settings that enhance the creative capacity of employees, at the individual and team level Individual and team creativity Creativity is stimulated by human interaction, networks, communities and places Invention Creativity translates in new technologies Is this a linear process??? Innovation The invention finds a market

29 The rise of "amateur innovation" _on_innovation First 4.47 minutes Charles Leadbeater We like to think that invention is a sort of moment of creation: there is a moment of birth when someone comes up with an idea. The truth is that most creativity is cumulative and collaborative; like Wikipedia, it develops over a long period of time. This is why users have become more and more important they are the source of big, disruptive innovations. If you want to find the big new ideas, it s often difficult to find them in mainstream markets, in big organizations. Charles Leadbeater

31 Open innovation from closed innovation to open innovation

33 What s going on? In the old model of closed innovation, firms adhered to the following philosophy: Successful innovation requires control. For most of the 20th century, the model worked and it worked well. In this new model of open innovation, firms commercialize external (as well as internal) ideas by deploying outside (as well as in-house) pathways to the market. The boundary between a firm and its surrounding environment is more porous, enabling innovation to move easily between the two The «Not-invented-here» (NIH) syndrome is overcome
