, 1-1 Pisano: you need an innovation strategy
An explicit innovation strategy helps you design a system to match your specific competitive
needs
An innovation strategy should answer the following:
1. How will innovation create value for potential customers?
2. How will the company capture a share of the value its innovations generate?
3. What types of innovations will allow the company to create and capture value and
what resources should each type receive
> technological VS business model
Four types of innovation:
1. Routine innovation: builds on existing technologies & fits with existing business
model (vast majority of profits is created here)
2. Disruptive innovation: requires new business model, but is not necessarily a
technological break-through
3. Radical innovation: polar opposite of disruptive innovation. Challenge here is purely
technological
4. Architectural innovation: combines technological and business model disruptions.
Most challenging to pursue
Managing trade offs:
• Crowdsourcing
• Customer involvement
→ demand-pull approach (finding customers highly challenging problems and then figuring
out how the company’s cutting-edge technologies can solve them)
→ supply-push approach (developing technology and the finding or creating a market)
Four tasks when implementing an innovation strategy;
1. Answering the question “How are we expecting innovation to create value for customers
and for our company?” and then explain that to the organization.
2. Creating a high-level plan for allocating resources to the different kinds of innovation.
3. Managing trade-offs.
4. Recognizing that innovation strategies must evolve.
1-2 Zollo: Toward an integrated theory of strategy
Corporate strategy: definition on second page in summary
Three strategic management firm strategies:
1. Competitive strategy → cost VS differentiation
2. Growth strategy → organic VS external/acquisitive
3. The firm’s stakeholder strategy → integrated VS arms-length modes of interaction
Two bundles of decisions can potentially optimize value creation.
Entrepreneurial formula/ pioneering framework elements:
1. Competitive system
2. Products that the company offers
3. Stakeholder system
