Economic development consists of three
distinguishable stages of invention, innovation and
imitation
An ’invention’ is an idea, a sketch or model for a
new or improved device, product, process or
system.
An ’innovation’ is accomplished with the
commercial transactions of the product, process,
system or device.
Joseph Schumpeter

a new good or service that is substantially improved.

innovation) involves the creation of new organizations,
business practices, ways of running organizations or
new organizational behavior.
Business Model innovation involves changing the way
business is done

From 1950 to the mid-1960’s, fast
economic growth allowed for a strong
‘technology push’
Companies focused predominantly on
scientific breakthroughs
Innovation is a simple linear process
with emphasis on R&D
Market information (customer demands)
are integrated very late in the process

Introduction

The mid 1960’s to early 1970 were
characterized by a ‘market shares battle’
Because of increasing competition, companies
to shift their development focus to a ‘need
pull’
The central focus is responding to the
market’s needs.
Too much emphasis on improving existing
products to meet market needs

opportunities rather than societal

Focus was on integrated processes to develop ‘total concepts’
More emphasis on the role of feedback and the cross-
functional character of innovation
Emphasizes on concurrent learning with customers and
suppliers

Closed innovation Open innovation
All the best people are working for us Not all the best people are working for us . We
must work with clever people within and
outside our company.
R&D creates profit only when we invent,
develop and market everything ourselves.
External R&D can create remarkable value; to
employ it, we need absorption capacity, often
as internal R&D.
If we develop the product ourselves, we will be
the first on the market.
R&D can create profit even if we do not
initialize and perform it ourselves.
Winner is who gets the innovation to the
market first.
To develop better business model is more
important than to be the first in the market.
We will win if we develop most of the ideas (an
the best of them).
We will win if we make best use of internal
and external ideas.
We must have our intellectual property under
control so that our competitors can make
advantage of it.
We must be able to profit from others using
our intellectual property and we must license
the intellectual property if it supports our
business model.

• What if the devices “completely go away
to be absorbed into the fabric of our lives?”
• Smart pills are an example of ambient
technologies that integrate into our
environments
• These Invisibles will create a world in
which we don’t see technology or sensors
• Can technology become human –
reacting to what makes each one of us
unique?
