8 Dimensions of Innovation

Forward Incr. (20GB Stick)

Adv. Forward Incr. (100GB Stick)

Replication (perceived newness, new location)

Redefinition (music phone)

Redirection (baby phone, elderly phone)

Reinitiation (Reebok pump)

Reconstruction/Redirection (Nano car)

Integration (DVD+TV)

> Differentiating message, emotions, self identity, awareness

3 Lifecycles

Dominant Design

Hype cycle

3 Lifecycles: Product, Technology, Industry

Dominant Design = important, when different technologies fight for same market (EV, hybrid, hydrogen)

Hype cycle = How long does technology take to be established in industry? (Not lifecycle)

Market segmentation (buyer, product)

Split in characteristics of buyer and product

Buyer: 

industrial, household, distr. channels, geographical location

Product:

size, prize, features, technology, sourcing, performance, services

Innovation Down

Tactic to compete with local innovation leaders in China

Peak innovators (25% of chinese market), local innovators (75% of chinese market)

 

Purpose of a strategy

decision making support, coordination and communication process, goal definition (multidimensional process)

Technology lifecycle

Difference between technology development and disruption

 

Porter's generic strategies

Source of comp. advantage over competitive scope (cost leadership, differentiation, focus)

 

Organizational networks (5 types), before... after...

Local adaption

Global - International - Multinational - Integrated Network - New: Metanational

MetaNC: pockets of knowledge, global hot spots

a) PESTLE

b) P5F + technology, industry dynamics

c) SWOT

-----

d) BCG Matrix

e) ANSOFF Matrix

Competencies are ...

RESOURCES (natural, production, human, financial) plus CAPABILITIES (network, knowledge, intelligence, alliances, access)

Competitive advantage vs. sustainable competitive advantage

Comp: … when implementing a value creating strategy not simultaneously implemented by any current or potential competitor

Sust. comp: … when implementing a value creating strategy not simultaneously implemented by any current or potential competitor and when these firms are unable to duplicate the benefits of this strategy (valuable, rare, imperfectly imitable, non-substitutable)
