Why do large companies often fail to innovate? Often it is good management, that has made them become industry leaders. This paper gives an analysis of the 5 principles of disruptive technologies and some advice what managers of large companies can do.
The theory of disruptive innovation has proved to be a powerful way of thinking about innovation-driven growth. Many leaders of small, entrepreneurial companies praise it as their guiding star; so do many executives at large, well-established organizations, including Intel, Southern New Hampshire University, and Salesforce.
But just what is Disruptive Innovation? Which companies are considered to be causing "disruption"?
In this meetup, we will explore the basic tenets of disruptive innovation. Then we will look at some of today's companies and their services and discuss if they are disruptive or not.
Lastly, we will look a bit deeper into the theory and see if what we have learned so far allows us to more accurately predict which businesses will grow.

User centricity, hypothesising and prototyping. These are some of the core principles of Design Thinking. By empathising with a group of people, these principles promise to reduce uncertainty about what problems to solve for whom and how.
How to re-frame business problems to customer-centric opportunity spaces that drive value. Design thinking is your shortcut to customer empathy. A good understanding on how this method could help you identify real customer problems and unmet needs is essential. Moreover we will share techniques and tools that you can implement directly after this crash course. Start inventing the future.
An interesting summary of the key takeaways from the famous innovation management book "The innovator's dilemma". The book won Global Business Book Award and was the best business book of the year in 1997.

While it’s easy to explain how Coca-Cola has become a brand after 100 years of marketing, it’s inexplicable how brands like Starbucks or Google have become brands in a fraction of that time, even without advertising. Why? And, why do we care about some products and services, but not about others? Patrick Hanlon, international branding expert and founder of strategic brand innovation firm Thinktopia®, explains how brands are belief systems that attract others who share your beliefs. Those who believe, belong and feel they are members of a grand (and often global) community. Primal Branding was published 2006 and anticipated social communities. It is listed as one of Top 10 books on branding. The construct is not only descriptive, it is prescriptive and outlines how you can create a community—whether they are consumers, co-workers, citizens, advocates, or just your best customers—that prefers you above all others. This unique and revelatory method (it's been heralded as "not the same old branding B.S.") has been used by Fortune 100 companies all over the world, to create communities of consumer zealots as well as a method for designing mission-driven organizational culture. Enjoy.

The Birth Of A Grand Strategist By Waqar RiazWaqar Riaz
This journey is to learn about and understand models and ideas that are great enough to trigger our thinking, and may help us to imagine what is possible with what we have.
This effort has been exerted in an attempt to understand the grand concepts of planning and how it can help to strengthen the future for brands, people and communication companies.
THE BRAND GAP is the first book to present a unified theory of brand-building. Whereas most books on branding are weighted toward either a strategic or creative approach, this book shows how both ways of thinking can unite to produce a “charismatic brand”—a brand that customers feel is essential to their lives. In an entertaining two-hour read you’ll learn:
• the new definition of brand
• the five essential disciplines of brand-building
• how branding is changing the dynamics of competition
• the three most powerful questions to ask about any brand
• why collaboration is the key to brand-building
• how design determines a customer’s experience
• how to test brand concepts quickly and cheaply
• the importance of managing brands from the inside

Red Ocean Traps. Mental Models that Undermine Market-Creating Strategies BlueOceanStrategy
RED OCEAN TRAPS
Mental Models that Undermine Market-Creating Strategies
CREATING BLUE OCEANS
• Companies increasingly recognize the value of creating and capturing new markets
• Many attempt to make market-creating strategic moves, dedicating significant resources and efforts to do so
• Yet, our research found that few seem to crack the code
As you set sail towards creating BLUE OCEANS of new market space, what can keep you anchored in RED OCEANS? An important factor is the RED OCEAN TRAPS.
Red Ocean Traps refer to managers’ mental models
• These are managers’ ingrained assumptions and theories about how the business world works
• They help managers navigate existing market space, yet they can prevent organizations from entering blue oceans
• There are six salient ones
TRAP ONE
Seeing Market-Creating Strategies as Customer-Oriented Approaches
TRAP TWO
Treating Market-Creating Strategies as Niche Strategies
TRAP THREE
Confusing Market-Creating Strategies with Technology Innovation
TRAP FOUR
Equating Market-Creating Strategies with Creative Destruction
TRAPS FIVE
Equating Market-Creating Strategies with Differentiation
TRAPS SIX
Equating Market-Creating Strategies with Low-Cost Strategies
So, will you avoid the traps? Or will you get stuck in red oceans?
ALIGNING YOUR MENTAL MODELS WITH MARKET-CREATING STRATEGIES
• Be sure to check your mental models, as you go for creating BLUE OCEANS of new market space.
• If they are misaligned with your intended strategic purpose of new market creation, you need to challenge, question, and reframe them.
‘I AM LOVING THIS BLUE OCEAN STRATEGY’

Start-up Stage - Marketplaces - Presentation by Nikita Fahrenholz, CEO and Co-Founder of BOOK A TIGER at the NOAH 2015 Conference in London, Old Billingsgate on the 13th of November 2015.
This deck was presented by Craig Rosenberg, co-founder & chief analyst at TOPO, at #IHeartABM on February 12, 2018. The event, sponsored by LinkedIn and Terminus, brought together nearly 500 B2B marketing and sales professionals interested in account-based marketing.
Businesses constantly look for opportunities to grow their market-share. In order to achieve rapid market expansion, businesses explore markets outside their country of origin or outside existing market segments. This is done with the expectation that being the first to enter the market/segment will give the business an edge over competition. Commonly referred to as “First Mover Advantage”. Businesses expects to garner greater brand loyalty, high recall value and control over pricing owing to the “first mover” factor. Though it might seem intuitive, but is the first mover advantage guaranteed? Do all companies that make the first move succeed?
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
