What is innovation?
The meaning of innovation
The act of introducing something new?
Question: What is new? How new is new?
The implementation of creative inspiration Process of creating something and making it work
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To determine whether something is an innovation, it must be seen within a context
Question: Whether do we see this in a objective or subjective context?

AN EXAMPLE OF AN INVENTION
Scientist and development engineers at a household cleaning products company had been working for many months on developing a new lavatory cleaning product. They had developed a liquid that when sprayed into the toilet pan, on contact with water, would fizz and sparkle. The effect was to give the impression of tough, active cleaning product. The company applied for a patent and further developments and market research were planned.

AN EXAMPLE OF AN INVENTION
However, initial results both from technical and market specialists led to the abandonment of the product. The preliminary market feedback suggested a fear of such a product on the part of consumers. This was because the fizz and sparkle looked too dramatic and frightening. Furthermore, additional technical research revealed a short shelf life for the mixture. This is a clear example of an invention that did not progress beyond the organisation to a commercial product.

Serendipity
Innovation occurs due to luck and unexpected discoveries. Uncovering a major new invention leading to fame and fortune. However, serendipity is rare because in order to recognise the significance of an advance, one would need to have some prior knowledge in that area. Most discoveries are the result of people have had a fascination with a particular area of science or technology and it is following extended efforts on their part that advances are made.
Louis Pasteur said Chance favours the prepared mind.

Technological Development
What activities influence innovation? What are the internal processes that affect a companys ability to innovate?
Innovation occurs through the interaction of the science (dominated by universities and industry), technological development (dominated by industry) and the needs of the market was a significant step forward.

Traditionally, the innovation process has been viewed as a sequence of separable stages or activities
Technology-push model (Technology driven approach) Market-pull model (Customer driver approach)
Module Code and Module Title Title of Slides
This model is notably applied in the pharmaceutical industry but not applicable to many other industries
Title of Slides
Interactive Model
Innovation occur as the result of the interaction of the marketplace, the science base and the organisations capabilities. There is no explicit starting point. Innovation can arise from wide variety of points. Overall innovation process can be thought as a complex set of communication paths over which knowledge is transferred.
Title of Slides
Interactive Model
Links together the technology-push and market-pull models Innovation occurs as the result of interaction of:
the marketplace, the science base organisations capabilities
Title of Slides
Interactive Model
The interactive model describe that the innovation can be regarded as a logically sequential, though not necessarily continuous, process that can be divided into series of functionally distinct but interacting and interdependent stages. The overall innovation process can be thought of as a complex set of communication paths over which knowledge is transferred.
Title of Slides
Interactive Model
At the centre of the model are the organisational functions of R&D, engineering and design, manufacturing and marketing and sales. At first it may appear to be a linear model but the flow of communication is not necessarily linear.
There is provision of feedback and the linkages with science base and the marketplace occur between all functions
Module Code and Module Title Title of Slides
Interactive Model
Generation of ideas are dependent on inputs from three basic components:
The organisation capabilities The needs in society and the marketplace The latest science and technology or advances in society
Title of Slides

All these information flows contribute to the wealth of knowledge held by the organisation.

Therefore, in the future lectures, we will discuss about the appropriate structure, culture and systems to encourage creativity and promote the innovative process

Organisational Heritage
According to Trott (2003, p. 23), organisational heritage
Is sometimes known as the organisational knowledge base
Note this does not mean the culture of the organisation. It represents a combination of the organisations knowledge base (established and built up over the years of operating) and the organisations unique architecture. It provides the company with powerful competitive advantage.
What is competitive advantage?
Organisational heritage refers to the accumulative intellectual effort that brings upon competitive advantage of a business and which often forms the core competencies of an organisation resulted from the years of experience in operation.
Organisational heritage determines the organisations capability of what the organisation can do in the future.
In other words, what the organisation can do in the future will depend to some extent of what they have done in the past.
Organisational heritage acts as a framework for decision making in regard to innovation functions, R&D direction and new product development.
