1.1: What is innovation?
Learning objectives
1. Understand that innovation-based strategies are ultimately about changing the
basis of competition in an industry as opposed to competitive strategies that
take the existing industry structure and factors of competition as given.
2. Understand that innovation is not merely about technology, but that there also
exist other types of innovation.
3. Understand that innovation is a dynamic process in which industries tend to
shift their focus between types of innovation.
1.1.1 Changing the basis of competition through innovation
Michael Poorter: 5 forces of competition
1. Barriers to entry
2. Threat of substitutes products
3. How strong is de bargaining power of the buyers
4. How strong is de bargaining power of the buyers
5. Competitive Rivalry = how fierce is the competition among the entreprises
The US Wine Industry
Budget segment Premium Segment
Barriers to entry High (huge capital investment) Low
Substitutes High (beer, cocktails,…) Low
Buyer Power High (a lot of choice) High
Supplier Power Low (oversupply of grapes) Not relevant
Competitive rivalry High High

, OVERALL ASSESSMENT
Advice for Competitive Strategies :
Small Firm Large Firm
Differentiation strategy Cost Leadership
focused on a niche product in - Combined with a focus on the budget segment
the premium segment - Combined with a more extensive segmentation
strategy (build a portfolio of differentiated
products, each focused on a narrow customer
segment
Exit / don’t enter Exit /don’t enter
‘Le pin’ = high differentiated ‘Forster’ = segmentation strategy (different brands),
product, premium product at a targeting, large production but not particularly successful
premium price
Decision factors :
- Price
- Terminology
- Above the line marketing = how the company
position itself
- Aging quality = how long you can keep it
- Vineyard prestige
- Wine Complexity = what kind of flavors it have
- Wine range = 5/6/7 different varieties or only 2 types
CASE: Yellow Tail
How did Casella wines position (yellow tail) with respect to
these factors? Raise / Reduce / Eliminate ?
KEY LEARNING = They didn’t just reduce but put something
in return (created new factors)
à Not necessary related to technology but can also be
related to marketing for example
= they reached beyond existing demand
à competing with non-consumption
Takeaway point: Innovation-based strategies aim to change the basis of competition in an
industry
