Unfocused
innovation may
cause distraction
Lack of focuscan bea
risk: ICT enables
multiplemarket
opportunitiesnot all
of them profitable
“Fallingin love" witha technology and lackingthesenseof direction togo to

Pivotal momentsin theinnovation lifecycle:
1. Identification of a singleviable commercial application
2. Focusingresourcesonuniquevalueproposition

and user-led innovation

12. Remaining
open to new
forms of OI
and emerging
growth models
Policy
Implications
[6/7]
Policymakers
should not discard
slow changesas
invaluable and
consider direct
support for the
reinvestment of
profit into
innovative
activitiesor in
definitionof OISs
Policymakers
should
acknowledge
that exponential
growth isnot the
only form of
