Introduction
A modern innovation does not ensure a business success; what’s crucial is how the innovation is developed. In today’s generation there are a huge amount of innovations that people used to create entirely different inventions, in this paper, we will elucidate on how to capture the benefits of innovation, and how company construct strategies to absorb all the virtues of innovations. Therefore, this paper will also discuss regarding the frameworks of innovation and how did it affect up to date inventions in this generation.
Summary
Innovations have a handful of components such as types of knowledge, how to create and share this knowledge, gaining competitive advantages from the intellectual property and method of exploiting intellectual

Nowadays, firms are being interdependent with each other, as they reach out to get the knowledge that can give them the advantages over their competitors. For example, Sony being one of the mammoth corporation in the console gaming industries often tries to synchronize their product launch with game developers like Electronic Arts, or Bioware to increase the sales, also to garner attention from people who still unaware of gaming. However, it is not easy to secure the benefits of synchronization, there are few methods that will help. For instance, sometimes companies used planned synchrony to collaborate for a certain time to benefit both parties, with this they usually align their goals together and have to coordinate schedules that both parties agreed to. There is also a method called Reactive synchrony, it concerns how a firm tries to organize their resources and time to rival competitors in the industries, this method is more flexible than planned synchrony, although there are certain complications for this such as; the transformation had to be quick and precise. Although in the real world most companies used both of the method to reap benefits from others (Hybrid synchrony) as it is most efficient and effective method to keep the firm stand strong in the industry they are …show more content…
Open Innovation
The idea of open innovation shares similarity with gathering information that will benefit the firm. There are relatively huge numbers of complications that creates issues for open innovation, it has been found that a firm can protect their knowledge (Patents, Intellectual properties) too much that it creates a barrier that blocks the new information from outside of the company.
It is a challenge to choose what to reveal to the external environment. Some large companies have different committees that make decisions whether to file patents or disclose. Smaller companies, in contrast, typically lack the resources to structure this
By revamping our perception and alignment of IT, we can change the “traditional view of IT as an expense rather than a revenue generator” (Luftman & Brier, 1999) (as cited, Danielle Lohmann, Discussion 1, 11:44 PM). As you mentioned, IT alignment is simply the confluence of organizational purpose and technology within the enterprise (John Nicolay, Discussion 1, 3:03 PM). With the integration of IT, it would seem like it would be a natural progression from one stage to the next, but changes without a strategic plan will fall short of expectation. In Discussion 1, Laxamana details the six types of enabler and inhibitors to alignment. Of the twelve total items, six directly pertains to the involvement of senior executives and/ or IT management and leadership.
In Jonathan Klemens’ essay “The Protestant Work Ethic Just Another Urban Legend,” Klemens goes in depth about the American work ethic. According to Klemens, the American work ethic is essential to Americans because it provides a strong economy, along with a strong society that keeps America going. The American work ethic is one that is represented through individuals who “provide both a service to society and personal satisfaction” (Klemens 122). Not only does Klemens argue that hard work and service are detrimental to society, but a strong commitment enhances one’s life’s devotion to work, along with one’s passion or “calling.” Furthermore, the work ethic is “firmly entrenched as a powerful and valued American social trait,” showing that hard work and dedication are core values ingrained within the lives of Americans.
Yet the industries they cover – and our relationships with the large companies in them
“Every once in a while, a new technology, an old problem, and a big idea turn into innovation” this quote by Dean Kamen explains that when there is a problem we create new technology to solve this problem, and when we create new technology we have innovation. This was like the 1920’s as problem turned into innovation. The 1920’s was a time of advancement from new inventions used in and outside the home, to technology that changed everyday life which impacted the decades to come. The 1920’s was a decade of numerous advancements “that shaped the future and impacted decades to come” (Alchin).
It blends your traditional marketing with the online marketing. The Hybrid strategy in my opinion offers more of an advantage and has a fewer disadvantages. I always thought that if you can take the 2 plans and combine them and see where you can cut man hours and speed up time is a good and effective strategy. Not only that but you also save money at the same time and keep customers
A key means to improve this partnership is to minimize conflict (Epstein, 2009, p. 97) possibly by the participation of MCFD on an Action Team for Partnership. By creating an environment where these partners and LJH learn to function well as a team, the teams desired results can be achieved while also supporting partners needs and
During this generation, technology has taken drastic steps and has evolved quicker than anyone would’ve ever imagined. In the article, “Marketing New Inventions” by Robert Rodriguez, the author talks about how a new original invention would come out, and how to make them popular. For instance, inventors Shelly Conte and Cindy Reichman invented the hide-and-seek doll, which made a hit in the Toys R US stores and it made them a fortune. Soon enough, new toys and copycats came out and there would be disputes about who came out with the product first. Each inventor has to play smart and keep their new toy hip and in-style.
3. Threat of new entrants High barriers to entry in the industry. Licensing requirements are high. There is a minimum size requirement to achieve profitability and the initial investment is required and fixed costs of operating. How much of the control is in the hands of existing players of the market or key resources?
Developed in the early 1980s by Tom Peters and Robert Waterman, two consultants working at the McKinsey & Company consulting firm, the basic premise of the model is that there are seven internal aspects of an organization that need to be aligned if it is to be successful. The 7-S model can be used in a wide variety of situations where an alignment perspective is useful to help us: - Improve the performance of a company. - Examine the likely effects of future changes within a company. - Align departments and processes during a merger or acquisition.
These features only permit flexibility to an extent and therefore hindering rapid changes because major decision making still has to come from the CEO Tim
• Building capacities and spending money on research and development. New entrants are less likely to enter a dynamic industry where the established players such as Twitter, Inc. keep defining the standards regularly. It significantly reduces the window of extraordinary profits for the new firms thus discourage new players in the industry. Bargaining Power of
This model is considered as the most potent and useful tool and is widely used by organisations. This model deals with external factors that influence the nature of completion and internal factors how firms compete effectively to be more profitable. Porter’s 5 forces is used. Industry Rivalry : Porter (1980) reiterated that intensity of rivalry is dependent on number and size of direct competitors as numerous and/or equally balanced competitors may lead to intense competition. The rivalry for market share becomes intense when product differentiation and switching costs are
These can take the form of slot sharing arrangements, conferences, strategic alliances, mergers, and
Still finding new opportunities for improvement and creation of value is a must nowadays. The companies should understand how emerging technologies can affect their competitive advantage and strategy, how they can help them retain their customers and bring new ones and thus implement changes that will help them to play competitive. Successful innovation means that companies should match the market trends and customer expectations with internal processes and invest into
