• 1.1 Introduction

• Innovation management

  In practice, recognizing the need for effective innovation management and achieving it are two vastly different things.
  
  Managing innovation is complex and so there are no 'quick fixes', 'no universal solutions'.

• 1.2 Innovation drivers

• What are the four innovation drivers that create the need for innovation

  1. Technological Advances
  
  2. Changing Customers and Needs
  
  3. Intensified Competition
  
  4. Changing Business Environment

• 1.2.1 Technological advances

• Explain the driver 'Technological advances'.

  With the vast array of technological developments, even multinational companies that used to conduct all their own basic research cannot keep abreast of all the developments, using internal resources alone.
  
  Organizations need to monitor the progress of both the technologies they currently use and also that of potential substitutes.
• Technological Advances is a driver towards Open Innovation. What is Open Innovation?

  The sourcing of ideas and technology across organization boundaries.

• 1.2.2 Changing customers & needs

• Explain the driver 'Changing Customers and Needs'.

  Changing customers means that traditional market sagments are disappearing or fragmenting and companies will need to adjust their product ranges accordingly.
  
  As basic needs are met, there is an additional challenge to innovation - determining customers' hidden needs. 

• 1.2.3 Intensified competition

• Explain the driver 'Intensified Competition'.

  Logistics costs have plummeted and, consequently, 'safe, home markets' are being threatened by foreign competition. Companies may also face competition from sources normally outside their industries.
