How will incumbent firms react to the intrusion?
◦ Most likely in mature markets

Carefully choosing a balance between differentiation and low cost posture and deciding whether to compete in multiple or single industry segments are critically important issues as maturity sets in and decline threatens.
![Page 9: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Firms earn attractive profits during the long maturity stage and industry growth when they do the following:◦ Concentrate on segments that offer chances for
higher growth or higher return◦ Manage product and process innovation aimed at
further differentiation, cost reduction, or rejuvenating segment growth
◦ Stream line production and delivery to cut cost◦ Gradually “harvest” the business in preparation
for a strategic shift to more promising products or industries.
![Page 10: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Counterbalancing these opportunities, mature and declining industries contain a number of strategic pitfalls that companies should avoid:◦ An overly optimistic view of the industry or the
company’s position within it◦ A lack of strategic clarity shown by a failure to choose
between a broad-based and a focused competitive approach
◦ Investing to much for to little return – the so called “cash-trap”
◦ Trading market share for profitability in response to short-term performance pressures
◦ Unwillingness to compete on price◦ Resistance to industry structural changes or new practice◦ Placing too much emphasis on new product development
compared with improving existing ones◦ Retaining excess capacity
![Page 11: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
![Page 12: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The requirements for success in industry segments change over time. Strategist need to use these changing requirements as a basis for identifying and evaluating a firm’s strengths and weakness.
Figure 7-1 (pg 144) shows the four stages of industry evolution and the changes in functional capabilities that often are associated with business success at each stage.
![Page 13: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
IntroductionThe early development of product market typically
entails slow growth in sales, major R&D emphasis, rapid technological change in the product, operating losses, and a need for sufficient resources or slack to support a temporarily unprofitable operation.
Success at this emerging stage often is associated with technical skill, with being first in new markets, and with having marketing advantage that creates widespread awareness.
![Page 14: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Growth
Rapid growth bring new competitors.
![Page 15: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Maturity
As the industry moves through a shakeout phase and into the maturity stage, sales growth continues, but at a decreasing rate.
Increased industry segments Technological product design slows
considerably Competition becomes more intense Promotional or pricing advantages and
differentiation become key strengths.
![Page 16: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Decline
When the industry moves into the decline stage, strengths center on cost advantages, superior supplier and customer relationships, and financial control.
Competitive advantage can exist at this stage if a firm serves gradually shrinking markets that competitors choose to leave.
![Page 17: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
![Page 18: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
No single company or small group of firms has a large enough market share to strongly affect the industry structure or outcomes.
Examples of areas in this trait:
Retail sectors
Distribution businesses
Professional services
Small manufacturing
![Page 19: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Entry and exit barriers are low
There are few economies of scale or scope
Cost structures make consolidation unattractive
Products or services are highly diverse or need to be customized
Close, local control is essential
![Page 20: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Has reshaped a number of industries
Competitive dynamics take place when artificial constraints are lifted and new players enter
Timing of strategic moves is crucial
Deregulated environments tend to undergo considerable change twice:
1) First when the market is opened2) Then again in about 5 years
![Page 21: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Airlines
• Trucking
• Railroads
• Banking
• Telecommunications
• Energy
![Page 22: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Large number of new entrants rushed in
Industry profitability deteriorated
Once attractive firms become less attractive
Wider quality range of competitors
Two waves of merger and acquisition activity ◦ Consolidating weaker players◦ Larger players aimed at market dominance
Forced to narrow focus on specific segments/products
![Page 23: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Joel Bleeke came up with 4 strategies to help with the coping of deregulations:
1) Broad based distributors – conserve resources
2) Low cost entrants – survive by becoming specialty or niche players
3) Focused segment marketers – target value-added segments from the outset
4) Shared utilities – provide low cost entrants with economies of scale by sharing costs among many companies
![Page 24: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Research by Florissen, Maurer, Schmidt, and Vahlenkamp identifies 4 factors that adjust price correctly after deregulation:
1) Competitors’ prices – measure up again the most relevant competitor
2) Switching rates – few will switch unless it new provider offers some exceptional benefit
3) Customer Value – most are concerned with quality and service
4) Cost to serve – true cost of their service
![Page 25: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Characteristics:◦ Intense Rivalry◦ Based on Introducing a product when least
expected then moving on when the competitor tries to recover
Strategies:◦ Enable the company to gain an advantage over
competitors by disrupting the market with quick and innovative change.
Goals:◦ Neutralize previous competition◦ Create an unbalanced industry segment
![Page 26: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Results:◦ Short Product Life Cycles◦ Emergence of New Technologies◦ Competition from Unexpected Players◦ Repositioning by Current Players◦ Major Shifts in Market Boundaries
Examples:◦ PC’s & Software VS◦ Telecommunications (Strategy =Bundling
Services)
![Page 27: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Successful Companies manipulate competitive positions to:◦ Create a competitive advantage for themselves◦ Destroy competitive advantage’s of competitors
Require 3 major qualities:1.Rapid Innovation & Speed2.Superior Short Term Focus3.Market Awareness
![Page 28: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
1. Rapid Innovation & Speed◦ Gain Temp Advantage◦ Achieve Short Term Profitability◦ Shift Strategic Focus before Competition can
React Crucial to Innovate, Manufacture, Market,
and Distribute Product QUICKLY.◦ They will gain market share fast than
competitors!◦ Without speed firms are at a disadvantage
because competitors will be able to capitalize on market opportunities first!
![Page 29: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
2. Superior Short Term Focus
To Succeed firms must be able to manipulate the competition into making long-term commitments.
![Page 30: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
3. Market Awareness◦ Understand Consumer Markets◦ Deliver High-Impact Products◦ Provide Superior Customer Support
Understanding Customers focus allows firms to:
identify customers needs uncover new and previous untapped markets
(wins market share)
![Page 31: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Traditional Concept Believe long term profitability is achieved
through segmented markets and low to moderate competition.
Now… There is another requirement… Long term sustainable profits are only
possible when entry barriers restrict competition.
Must continuously re-create competitive advantage because of hypercompetition.
![Page 32: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Consequences of Extreme Competition:◦ High Rivalry◦ Shrinking Profits◦ Shaky dominance◦ Pressure by smaller, flexible & innovative
competitors◦ Shrinking Industries◦ Endangered Leaders
![Page 33: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
6 Actions to counter the aggressive moves of competitors:
1. Retool Strategy & Restore its Importance2. Manage Transition Economics3. Fight Aggregation with disaggregation4. Seek out new demand and new growth5. Use a portfolio of initiatives to increase speed &
flexibility6. Count on strategic risk
![Page 34: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
1. Retool Strategy & Restore its Importance
◦ Instead of Ignoring strategy… Adopt a portfolio view in strategic planning to increase responsiveness to opportunities
2. Manage Transition Economics◦ Develop low-cost positions in order to free funds
for innovation.
3. Fight Aggregation with disaggregation◦ Will get higher profits by creating different
value propositions through disaggregation.
![Page 35: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
4. Seek out new demand and new growth◦ Should not rely on growth through traditional
strategies such as mergers or strategic alliances. Instead focus on customer demand and innovation to grow.
5. Use a portfolio of initiatives to increase speed & flexibility
◦ Use a Resource Based View: Think of assets as resources that enable the company to launch new products, innovate to reduce costs, and compete on price worldwide.
◦ (allows for more innovation & responsiveness)
![Page 36: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
6. Count on Strategic Risk◦ There was always be unstable corporate
earnings and stock prices = RISK◦ The 4 most important types of risk are:
1. Value Proposition Risks – warn negative consequences if competitors introduce lower-priced products
2. Cost Curve Risks - warn negative consequences if competitors are able to become the low cost provider
3. Bad-Conduct Risk – warn of negative consequences if a price war occurs
4. Bad-Bet Risk - warn of negative consequences from overly optimistic assumptions
![Page 37: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• The internet has led to speed being a strategic priority.
Speed = Quality = CustomersSpeed = Quality = Customers
![Page 38: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• Speed– Pace of progress that a company displays in
responding to current or anticipated business needs
• Speed1.Measured by a firm’s response time in meeting
customer expectations2.Innovating new products3.Change of strategy4.Upgrading processes to improve satisfaction and
financial returns
![Page 39: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Respond to industry challenges to increase their customer responsiveness
Speed Merchants are a hallmark for the progress of their industry◦ Modify their environments to convert their core
competencies into competitive advantages
![Page 40: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
AAA = fast emergency roadside service
Dell = fast computer assembly
Domino’s = fast pizza delivery
CyberGate = fast internet access

1. Distinct and identifiable sources of pressure that create the demand on a company to accelerate its speed
2. An emphasis on speed places new cost, cultural, and change process requirements on a company
3. Several implementation methods to accelerate a firm’s speed of operations
![Page 42: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Customers’ expectations
Competitors who accelerate their own pace
Company itself when it seeks to establish a
new competitive advantage
Adjusting priorities of a changing industry
![Page 43: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
1. Customers– Customers demand responsiveness. There is a
new emphasis on getting quality products and services quickly
2. Need for Creating a New Basis for Competitive Advantage– Increasing the speed with which products are
innovated, developed, manufactured, and distributed = success of firms in establishing a new competitive advantage
![Page 44: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
3. Competitive Pressures◦ Competition mandates an increase in speed
4. Industry Shifts◦ Speed is especially important to survival in
industries characterized by short product life cycles
![Page 45: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
For speed to be a strategic weapon…◦ Every aspect of an organization be focused on a
fast paced work environment◦ Executives must foster a ‘fast’ culture
![Page 46: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
1. Refocusing the Business Mission◦ The board and officers must plan for the
increase in speed throughout the organization
2. Creating a Speed Compatible Culture◦ Increase speed by nurturing a culture that is
conducive to speed and reward those who can increase their speed
![Page 47: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
3. Upgrading Communication◦ The increase in speed requires dramatically
upgraded methods for clear and timely communication
4. Refocusing Business Process Reengineering
◦ BPR is undertaken to reorganize a company to eliminate barriers that create distance between employees and customers
![Page 48: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
5. Committing to New Performance Metrics– Set standards to measure the progress of a
firm’s change in speed
6. Methods to Speed– Determine where speed exists and where it
does not – look to quickly eliminate any ‘speed gaps’
– 3 methods to eliminate speed gaps:1. Streamlining operations2. Upgrading technology3. Forming partnerships
![Page 49: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
7. Streamline Operations◦ With a speed enhanced ability to obtain quick
feedback from the marketplace and to respond with unparallel speed in making adjustments, successful innovations no longer need to be flawless at introduction
8. Upgrading Technology◦ Using technology to increase speed allows
product information to roll out faster
![Page 50: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Connect manufacturers with retailers to enhance information sharing
Streamline and accelerate product distribution
Shortening pipelines, speed products to shelves
Satisfy customers with less costly inventories
Enables companies to learn customers’ buying patterns
![Page 51: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Sharing business burdens is a proven way to shorten the time needed to improve market responsiveness
Ex: Ford Motor Company’s partnership with General Motors and DaimlerChrysler◦ These three major auto manufacturers joined to
develop an Internet portal that links their purchasing organizations with 30,000 raw material suppliers. This increased the speed with which the automobile companies respond to customer inquiries at every stage along the supply chain.
![Page 52: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Value creation greatly depends on innovation which is a major strategic challenge for most companies.
Clayton Christensen coined the concepts of disruptive and sustaining innovation to describe what he calls the “Innovators’ Dilemma.◦ Sustaining innovation: innovation that focuses on
“better” products.◦ Disruptive innovation: launching products that may not
be as good as the existing products and, therefore, not attractive to current customers, but that are simple, and often more affordable.
![Page 53: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
How successful companies with established products can keep from being pushed aside by competitors with newer, cheaper products that will, over time, get better and become a serious threat.
An example of Disruptive innovation is the computer hardware industry. The introduction of the minicomputer disrupted the mainframe industry…the personal computer disrupted minicomputer sales…wireless handheld devices such as Blackberries & Palm Pilots disrupted notebook computers.
![Page 54: Scott DeVore Ryan White Mitchell Stack Heather McMahon Brittany Thomason Jacob Western Cory Gregory.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f275503460f94c3e7e1/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Best known for Post-it Notes, Scotch Guard, and Scotch Tape, Minnesota, Mining & Manufacturing (3M) has succeeded because its business model is based on a culture that is geared to producing innovative products.
3M employs six mandates that drive their innovation process. Here are a couple of examples:◦ “15 Percent Rule” states that 3M researchers may
devote 15% of their time to any creative idea or project, and management approval is not required.
◦ “Stretch Goals” state that3M’s target is that 40 percent of sales will be from products introduced in the last 4 years, while 10 percent of sales will be from products introduced in the current year.

Although there is no universal model for creating an innovating environment, a look at successful companies reveals certain common characteristics.◦ 1. Top-level commitment◦ 2. Long-term focus◦ 3. Flexible organization structure◦ 4. Loose and tight planning and control◦ 5. Appropriate incentives

There is no link between R & D, innovation and financial performance
Two studies found conflicting results◦ Booz Hamilton’s The Global Innovation 1000
Study- Found no statistical relationship between R&D and measures of financial success.
◦ BCG Innovation 2006 Global Survey- Found that innovation translates into superior long term stock market performance

Research suggests that executives lack confidence in their companies’ ability to use innovation to drive profits.◦ 67% of firms in a study considered themselves
more innovative than competitors, only 7% said they were successful meeting their innovation performance goals
The single biggest growth inhibitor for large companies is mismanagement of the innovation process.

There are six recommendations for improving performance:◦ Plan Synergy between strategy and innovation◦ Areas where new opportunities and competitive
advantage exist provide a firm’s best chances to profit from innovation
◦ Profits from innovation in business systems can match those from product development

◦ Look outside of the company’s internal environment to increase the likelihood of success and reduce the risks of innovation
◦ Alliances and corporate venture capital programs allow a firm to share the risks associated with exploration investments
◦ Involve customers early and often in the innovation process

Another explanation for the lack of success in innovation is a lack of measurement metrics or the failure to implement them effectively. ◦ In conjunction to the innovation 2006 survey BCG
had a group of executives complete another survey on innovation metrics and measurement Out of 269 respondents, 63% track five or fewer
metrics, only 47% said they apply post-launch metrics sporadically and 8% said they don’t apply them at all
Fully half of all companies don’t closely track the efficiency of their innovation process

R&D investments fail to generate successful products for 3 main reasons◦ Failure to develop truly innovative products◦ Failure to successfully commercialize innovative
products once they are on the market◦ Failure to market innovative products in a timely
manner Many corporate projects are abandoned in
development◦ Takes 125-150 new initiatives to generate one
marketplace success
