What is innovation?
• Innovation is the process and outcome of creating
something new, which is also of value.
• Innovation involves the whole process from
opportunity identification, ideation or invention to
development, prototyping, production marketing
and sales, while entrepreneurship only needs to
involve commercialization (Schumpeter).
What is innovation?
• Today it is said to involve the capacity to
quickly adapt by adopting new innovations
(products, processes, strategies, organization,
etc)
• Also, traditionally the focus has been on new
products or processes, but recently new
business models have come into focus, i.e. the
way a firm delivers value and secures profits.
What is innovation?
• Schumpeter argued that innovation
comes about through new combinations
made by an entrepreneur, resulting in
–
–
–
–
–
a new product,
a new process,
opening of new market,
new way of organizing the business
new sources of supply
Dimensions of innovation
There are several types of innovation
– Process, product/service, strategy,
which can vary in degree of newness:
– Incremental to radical,
and impact:
continuous to discontinuous
Drivers for innovation
– Financial pressures to reduce costs, increase efficiency, do
more with less, etc
– Increased competition
– Shorter product life cycles
– Value migration
– Stricter regulation
– Industry and community needs for sustainable development
– Increased demend for accountability
– Demographic, social and maket changes
– Rising customer expectations regarding service and quality
– Changing economy
– Greater availability of potentially useful technologies coupled
with a need to exceed the competition in these technologies
What is innovation?
• Gary Hamel argued that today’s market
place is hostile to incumbents, who
now needs to conduct radical business
innovation:
– Radically reconceiving products and
services, not just developing new products
and services
– Redefining market space
– Redrawing industry boundaries
New conditions for innovation
• Small start-up entrepreneurs increasingly
depend on large firms:
–
–
–
–
–
as suppliers or customers
for venture finance,
for exit opportunites,
for knowledge (production, markets and R&D)
and for opening new markets.
New conditions for innovation
• Large firms increasingly depend on small
start-ups
– for NPD,
– as suppliers of new knowledge (which they cannot
develop themselves),
– or organizational renewal, for experimentation with
busienss models,
– for opening new markets, etc
New developments in innovation
raises new issues and problems
• Greater emphasis on commercializing scientific
discoveries, particularly in IT and the bio-sciences
• Speed and potential value of scientific progress leads to
emphasis on solid and well-designed portfolios of
research projects
• Universites as active drivers of innovation: Academic
entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial university
• University-industry partnerships
• Increased search for radical innovation and top-line
growth.

Entrepreneurship 1
Entrepreneurship drives innovation,
competitiveness, job creation and economic
growth.
It allows new/innovative ideas to turn into
successful ventures in high-tech sectors
and/or can unlock the personal potential of
disadvantaged people to create jobs for
themselves and find a better place in society.
Entrepreneurship 2
Entrepreneurship, in small business or
large, focuses on "what may be" or
"what can be".
One is practicing entrepreneurship by
looking for what is needed, what is
missing, what is changing, and what
consumers will buy during the coming
years.
Entrepreneurship 3
Entrepreneurs have:
–
–
–
–
–
A passion for what they do
The creativity and ability to innovate
A sense of independence and self- reliance
(Usually) a high level of self confidence
A willingness and capability (though not
necessarily capacity or preference) for
taking risks
Entrepreneurship 4
Entrepreneurs do not (usually) have:
– A tolerance for organizational bureaucracies
– A penchant for following rules
– A structured approach to developing and
implementing ideas
– The foresight to plan a course of action once
the idea is implemented and established
Entrepreneurial Success
1. People (Entrepreneur /Entrepreneurial
Team)
2. Opportunity (Marriage of Market and
Product/Service)
3. Access to Resources (Land. Labor,
Capital, Knowledge
And the fit amongst these three elements
(Business Model)
What is a Franchisee?
“Frantrepreneur”
(fran*tre*pre*neur) n.
One possessing the desire to be a
business owner -- without the desire to
recreate the wheel -- by following a
proven system for the benefit of personal
and professional goals.
The Frantrepreneur Mentality
“I’m in
business for
myself, but not
by myself”.
“Why would I work
for someone else
when I can work for
myself and reap the
rewards of my
efforts?"
“I have the opportunity
to learn from the success
and failure of others.”
“I want a ‘bottled’ process for
success that I can use in developing
my own successful business.”
"Why would I spend years and the
investment required to establish a
successful brand when I could buy a
franchise which provides immediate
access to a successful business system and
a brand name which others already have
made successful?"
Entry Strategies
• New Business
– Develop a new product or service
– Develop a similar product or service
– Competitive approaches
• Existing Business
– Buying a business
– Franchise
– Joint venture – customer or supplier
“Competitive strategy is about being
different. It means deliberately choosing to
perform activities differently or to perform
different activities than rivals to deliver a
unique mix of value.”
Michael E. Porter
Definition
• Competitive Advantage
–An advantage over competitors
gained by offering consumers
greater value than competitors

competitive performance?
• Must establish a competitive advantage in 3
areas:
– Uniqueness: of resources & processes (Bill Gates
knowledge of IBM)
– Value: where products/services warrant a
higher-than-average price or exceptionally low
– Difficult to imitate: when products/services are
hard to mimic or duplicate
Competitive Strategies

– Overall cost leadership
• Lowest production and distribution costs
– Differentiation
• Creating a highly differentiated product
line and marketing program

• Effort is focused on serving a few market
segments

CORE COMPETENCES
Definition
Hammel and Prahalad defined
core competence as a central
value - creating capability of an
organization/enterprise.
CORE COMPETENCES
• Core competences are activities or
processes that critically underpin an
organisation competitive advantage.
• They create and sustain the ability to meet
the critical success factors of particular
customer groups better than providers in
ways that are difficult to imitate
CORE COMPETENCES
• Core competences are distinctive
capabilities that lead a company to
a competitive advantage.
• Features of an enterprise that
cannot be readily reproduced by a
competitor.
CORE COMPETENCES
Core competences can vary through
the time depending on the strategy
adapted by the companies and the
identification of the core
competencies is the first step for a
company to decide which business
opportunities to pursue.

to prefer firm’s product over brands of rivals
Keys to Success

Which
hat is
unique?
• Offer a product appealing to unique
preferences of a well-defined buyer segment

An Aspect of Good Management
• People Management –
because IP is generated by people and used by
people
• Knowledge Management – because a lot of knowledge is informal and
may or may not crystallise as
recognisable category of IP
• IT Strategic Planning –
because a lot of IP is IT-related; some
of the more complex IP issues arise in
IT context
• Contract Management –
because IP is often created (or improved) in
context of a contract (eg, supply contract or
joint venture relationship)
• Asset Management –
because IP is an asset, albeit intangible; it has
a value
• Risk Management –
because there are risks to an organisation
flowing from its actions, or failure to act, in
relation to IP (including risk of lost
opportunity)

Basic Message 1
IP adds value at every stage of the value chain
from creative/innovative idea to putting a new,
better, and cheaper, product/service on the market:

Basic Message 2
• IP Strategy should be an integral part of the
overall business strategy of an Enterprise
• The IP strategy of an Enterprise is
influenced by its creative/innovative
capacity, financial resources, field of
technology, competitive environment, etc.
• BUT: Ignoring the IP system altogether is in
itself an IP strategy, which may eventually
prove very costly or even fatal
