WHAT IS AN INNOVATION?
 It is an idea, practice or object that is perceived as new by
an individual or other unit of adoption.
 It is a use of new knowledge to offer a new product or
service that customers want. Thus, it is
Invention + Commercialization.
“Innovation is the search for and the discovery,
developed, improvement, adoption and commercialization
of new processes, new products and new organization
structures and procedures.”
CHARACTERISTICS OF INNOVATION
 There is an object or target which is being changed.
 It can be a product, a process, an individual’s lifestyle,
an organization's strategy, a society culture.
 Innovation vary in extent or magnitude i.e. degree to
which one deviates from the past.
 It is closely related to problem solving since generation
& implementation of ideas for change never transpire
without difficulty.
 A final characteristic is the impact of the change, the
significance or range of its effects.
Difference between Innovation & Invention
Invention Innovation
1. It’s creation of new product, service
or process.
2. May not be commercialized
3. It can be autonomous or induced
4. Can be for economic or non-
economic motive
5. Usually restricted to R&D centre
6. May bring few changes in
organization
7. Precedes innovation
1. It is the introduction of new
product, service or process into the
marketplace.
2. Results into commercialization
3. Usually induced
4. Economic motive
5.Spread across the organization
6. Brings organizational change
7.Succeeds invention

BASIS
GOALS OF INNOVATION
 Improving quality
 Creation of new markets
 Extension of the product range
 Reducing labor cost
 Improving production process
 Reducing materials
 Reducing environmental damage
 Replacement of products/services
 Reducing energy consumption
 Conformance to regulations
SOURCES OF INNOVATION
 Organizational Structure.
Organic structures positively influence innovation. As there is lower
vertical differentiation, formalization, centralization. Organic
organizations facilitate the flexibility, adaptation & cross-fertilization.
 Long tenure in Management
Managerial tenure apparently provides legitimacy & knowledge of how
to accomplish a task and obtain desired outcomes.
 Slack Resources
Having an abundance of resources allows an organization to afford to
purchase innovations, bear the cost of instituting innovations & absorb
failures.
 Interunit Communications
 Innovative organizations are high users of committees, task forces,
cross-functional teams that facilitate interaction across departmental
lines.
TYPES OF INNOVATION
 Product & Process Innovation
 Open & Closed Innovation
 Incremental & Radical Innovation
 Modular and Architectural Innovation

INNOVATION MANAGEMENT
 Innovation management is all about
- learning to find the most appropriate solution
- to the problem of consistently managing
aforestated process
- doing so in the ways best suited to the particular
circumstances in which the organization finds
itself.
 It is the search of effective routines.
 It is about managing the learning process to deal
with the challenge of the innovation process.
Innovation Management
Management of Innovation comprises three
things:
- linking of engineering,
- science &
- management disciplines
 to plan, develop & implement technological
capabilities to shape & accomplish the strategic
& operational objectives of an organization.
Need/Objectives of Innovation Management
 To reap in the economic benefits of new technological
inventions by commercializing them on time
 To integrate technology into overall strategic objective of
the organization.
 To get into and out of the technologies faster and more
efficiently.
 To accomplish technology transfer.
 To reduce new product development time.
 To manage large ,complex & interdisciplinary projects
and systems.

VALUE INNOVATION(VI)
 One of the most prominent programmatic approaches to innovation
currently in use.
 It is different from building layers of competitive advantages & does
not means segmenting market & accommodating customer needs.
 It’s main focus is on offering those products & services which creates
a superior buyer value in existing markets & enables a quantum leap
for the firm to create new markets.
 Value Innovation also differs from technology innovation. New
technology developed does not becomes a value innovation unless it
is cheap enough for MASS BUYERS.

1. Why Change?
- Only innovation matters.
2. What to Change?
- Ranging from changes in product & service to the
ways(i.e. process innovation).
3. Understanding Innovation.
- Understanding common problems associated with partial
views of innovation.
4. Building an Innovation Culture.
- Managing Innovation is all about creating firm specific
routines(i.e. repeated, reinforced patterns of behavior)
which define its particular approach to the problem.
CHALLENGES FACED WHILE
MANAGING INNOVATION
5. Continuous Learning
- Firms constantly needs to develop their routines to
deal with the environmental challenges.
6. High Involvement Innovation
- Higher level of participations in innovation represents
a competitive advantage.
7. Managing Connections
- In current scenario business organizations are required
to operate in relationship with others rather than in
splendid isolation.

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Innovation takes place through the interaction of three intermingled factors or forces i.e. What technology is available to produce, whether that technology is viable in the marketplace, and what features or services are desired by consumers.
  • #20 1st point : ex of dell, ge and microsoft
  • #22 Last point : means mere deve of any new tech does not entails value inno if that tech is not easily accessible to mass consumers. For ex: a co ampex innovated video recording tech in 1950’s bt the co faied to convert its new tech into value inno as it was nt cheap enough for mass buyers and later on sony & jvc profited greatly by unlocking the mass market at almost 1% of ampex’s initial price.
