Creativity and innovation are important for problem solving and business growth. [1] Creativity involves generating new ideas, while innovation is the process of developing and applying creative ideas. [2] For an organization, innovation refers to converting new ideas into useful products, services, or practices. [3] While creativity is needed for innovation, it is not sufficient on its own - innovative ideas must also be applied successfully.
Innovation is critical for startups as it provides a competitive advantage over larger established companies. For startups to innovate effectively, they must focus on three key areas: ideas, experimentation, and customer intimacy. Ideas can come from identifying problems, observing waste or discontinuities, or understanding unarticulated customer needs. Experimentation is important to validate assumptions through low-cost, high-speed trials. Customer intimacy involves gaining deep insights into customer experiences and emotions. Startups also need to ensure they capture value from their innovations through continual improvement, product platforms, or legal strategies like patents. Being a first mover provides advantages if it helps build reputation, creates cost advantages, or makes imitation difficult.
This document summarizes a lecture on innovation and innovation management. It discusses the role and types of innovation, including product, process, position, and paradigm innovation. It also covers innovation management, noting it must be understood as a core organizational process and deal with complexity. Innovation depends on factors like the type of firm, its goals of survival, growth and profit. Managing innovation requires being systematic by developing routines. Key aspects include invention, technology, knowledge, uncertainty, and moving ideas from tacit to explicit knowledge.

2016 - 1. The concept of Innovation and Innovation Management. The type of in...Nadia Lushchak
The document provides an overview of innovation and innovation management. It defines innovation as the process of turning opportunities into new ideas and implementing them successfully. Innovation is important because it allows companies to adapt, gain competitive advantages, and drive economic growth through "creative destruction." The document also discusses different types of innovation like incremental, radical, and disruptive innovation. It examines historical models of innovation and outlines innovation management as the process of transforming inventions into innovations that achieve sustained competitive advantages. Finally, it discusses core abilities needed to manage innovation and presents an innovation process model.
Innovation focuses on improving existing products or processes rather than inventing entirely new things. Joseph Schumpeter identified five patterns of innovation: introducing new goods or services, developing new production methods, opening new markets, finding new sources of supply, and reorganizing an industry. While inventions can drive innovation, a country or company does not need to invent something completely new to succeed - focusing on innovating existing technologies through combinations or improvements can also power economic growth, as Japan demonstrated by innovating on cars and TVs without originally inventing them.
This document discusses innovation, including what it is, why it matters, types of innovation, metrics to measure innovation, and provides a case study of Nestle's innovation with Nespresso.
1) Innovation involves introducing something new that provides value, and can be incremental or radical. Metrics to measure innovation include inputs like resources invested, processes like time to develop ideas, and outputs like new products and sales from new products.
2) The case study describes how Nestle developed its Nespresso business over 20 years through failures, partnerships, focusing on high-end customers, and creating an exclusive club to commercialize single-serve coffee.
3) Key lessons are that innovation takes time,
This document discusses creativity from several perspectives:
1) It defines creativity as having a talent for unique combinations of ideas and conceiving original alternatives to solve problems.
2) A three-component model of creativity includes expertise, creative thinking skills, and personality traits like thinking differently.
3) The creativity process involves stages of saturation, preparation, incubation, illumination, and verification as ideas develop subconsciously and breakthroughs occur.
4) Organizational constraints on creativity include a fear of rejection, competition inhibiting behavior, and viewing problems as too difficult.
Business innovation involves putting new ideas or approaches into action to create commercially successful products or services. The innovation process typically involves research and development, invention, testing prototypes, and feedback before commercial launch. Innovation builds on invention by applying inventions to create marketable products or services. Innovation benefits businesses by improving productivity and reducing costs, increasing quality, building product ranges, and creating added value to differentiate from competitors. However, risks include competition replicating innovations, uncertain commercial returns on research investments, and difficulties securing financing for research and development activities.
The document discusses principles of marketing and innovation. It defines innovation as exploiting new ideas to create new products, processes or services. Key aspects of innovation discussed include creating an innovative culture within an organization, having the proper organizational structure for innovation management, and the role of marketers in driving innovation. The innovation process involves collaborating, strategizing, selecting, evaluating ideas. Managing the innovation process requires making innovations available to customers, collecting feedback, addressing deficiencies, and documenting the process. Open innovation is also discussed as engaging external partners and customers in the innovation process.
Thinking has many different classifications, out of which a prominent classification and explanation was given by Edward de Bono.
Here is his classification with a deep show on one of it... LATERAL THINKING.
Creativity involves conceiving something original or unusual, whether an idea, product, or process. Innovation is the implementation of something new. Creativity does not necessarily lead to innovation, as a creative idea may not be implemented. Factors that influence individual creativity include expertise in a field, creative thinking skills, and intrinsic rather than extrinsic motivation. Barriers to creativity can exist at the mindset, personal, and organizational levels and include rigid thinking, fear of failure, and an emphasis on control. Developing one's creativity involves techniques such as brainstorming, becoming an expert, idea mapping, and challenging oneself to try new approaches.
An entrepreneurial culture consists of a group suppressing individual interests to achieve group success, as this will advance their own interests. Key aspects of an entrepreneurial culture include being people-focused, valuing innovation and change, attention to basics, hands-on management, integrity, freedom to grow and fail, commitment, and emphasis on the future. Ways to foster an entrepreneurial culture include increasing awareness of opportunities, intensifying enterprise education, establishing role models, and incentivizing business succession and training.
The document discusses the Six Thinking Hats technique created by Edward de Bono. The Six Thinking Hats technique uses six colored hats to represent six different perspectives or types of thinking. It identifies the six hats as white for objective facts, red for emotions, yellow for positive thinking, black for caution, green for creativity, and blue for control. The benefits of the technique include allowing different perspectives, focusing thinking, improving creativity, communication and decision making.
The document defines entrepreneurship and discusses its importance. It provides several definitions of entrepreneurship from early economists like Cantillon, Marshall, and Schumpeter. Entrepreneurship is described as a dynamic process of creating value by recognizing opportunities and mobilizing resources to introduce new products or processes. The document compares small businesses to entrepreneurial ventures and outlines the importance of entrepreneurship in driving economic development, mobilizing resources, fostering innovation, generating employment, promoting equitable distribution of income, and developing backward regions through case studies of large Indian companies.
The document discusses creativity, innovation, and turning ideas into opportunities. It defines creativity as thinking up new things and notes that creativity involves generating and evaluating ideas. Innovation is defined as doing new things to create value and efficiency. The process of innovation involves idea generation, idea screening, feasibility testing, and implementation. The document also notes that most companies find innovation important to their business and lists common sources of new ideas for companies. It concludes by discussing how to screen ideas to find the best opportunities, such as determining if an idea solves an important customer problem.
This document discusses various theories and approaches of entrepreneurship. It begins by defining an entrepreneur as an individual who bears business risks and introduces new things to markets or economies. It then covers sociological theories like Max Weber's theory of religious beliefs influencing entrepreneurship culture. Economic theories discussed include Schumpeter's theory of innovation and entrepreneurship driving economic development through new combinations. Cultural theories note entrepreneurship is influenced by cultural values. Psychological theories examine entrepreneurial characteristics. The document also covers Peter Drucker's views on entrepreneurs searching for change and exploiting opportunities through innovation. It concludes by outlining four approaches to entrepreneurship: great person school, management school, leadership school, and intrapreneurship school.
The document discusses a group's effort to donate prosthetic feet to those in need. They raised funds through a newspaper drive and were able to collect Rs. 62000, which helped provide 31 people with prosthetic feet. This allowed the recipients to regain mobility and independence to play, go to school, work and contribute to their families. The group felt a great sense of achievement from bringing smiles and improved lives to the beneficiaries.
Rashmi Barbhaiya, CEO of Advinus, is worried about declining interest from large pharmaceutical companies in outsourcing drug discovery and development work to India. While India once seemed well-positioned to become a major center for pharmaceutical innovation due to its educational system, researchers, generics industry, and intellectual property laws, recent court rulings and an unfavorable policy environment have damaged India's reputation and given investors the impression that India is now hostile to pharmaceutical innovation. A broken clinical trials system and other issues have also created a poor research and development ecosystem in India.

The document proposes a fellowship program called "Ennovate India" to promote innovation by providing resources and training to passionate individuals to develop affordable solutions to social problems. The one-year program would select 40 fellows who would undergo training, design products, test prototypes, and partner with organizations to pilot and commercialize their solutions. The goal is to utilize India's talent and "jugaad" spirit to develop low-cost, inclusive innovations that improve lives at scale. Funding of ~1 crore rupees per year would be required from government and private sources.
7 csr group 7 section c_disruptive innovation for social changepg13tarun_g
This document presents information on disruptive innovation for social change. It discusses three types of innovation: sustainable, disruptive, and catalytic. Catalytic innovation aims for social change as the primary objective by meeting unserved or overserved needs through simpler, less costly solutions. The document then summarizes several examples of catalytic innovations in India, including the Social Works and Research Centre in Tilonia, Dilli Haat marketplace, Narayana Health hospitals, and e-Choupal internet kiosks for farmers. It concludes that catalytic innovations can effectively address social causes by serving underserved groups and creating widespread social and economic changes through scaling.
This document provides information on the corporate social responsibility initiatives of ITC Limited and Hindustan Unilever Limited. It summarizes ITC's initiatives such as being carbon positive and water positive for many years, generating livelihoods for over 5 million people through programs like e-Choupal, and social and environmental projects related to watershed development, renewable energy, waste recycling, and empowering women and disabled people. It also summarizes Hindustan Unilever's initiatives focused on mental well-being of blue-collar workers during COVID-19, its Project Shakti empowering rural women, mobile health services, and disaster relief efforts.

1) The National Innovation Foundation - India and Honey Bee Network aim to recognize, respect, and reward grassroots innovations and traditional knowledge from economically disadvantaged communities.
2) They provide resources like institutional support, access to labs/workshops, databases of knowledge, and linkages to validate claims that grassroots innovators typically lack.
3) Key lessons include building an innovation registry to reduce transaction costs, ensuring prior informed consent and benefit sharing is followed, and developing products and enterprises through commercial and non-commercial channels like cooperatives that provide benefits back to communities.
The document summarizes a presentation on disruptive innovation for social change, focusing on examples from India. It discusses how catalytic innovators create systemic social change through scaling solutions that meet unserved or overserved needs simply and affordably. Examples highlighted include Aravind Eye Care, which performs high-volume low-cost eye surgeries; Jaipur Rugs Foundation, which provides sustainable livelihoods for artisans; and Mirakle Couriers, which employs the deaf as couriers. The dynamics of how catalytic innovators can disrupt incumbent providers through lower costs and expanding market reach are also examined.

The document proposes the Aarogyam mobile toilet project to address sanitation issues in rural India. It aims to provide a private, portable toilet structure to ensure dignity and safety for users. The structure collects human waste to produce biogas and fertilizer. An implementation in Rajasthan saw positive user feedback on convenience and cost savings versus open defecation or public toilets. Challenges include budget, cultural acceptance, and scaling for large populations.
[Challenge:Future] Aarogyam: Hygiene and Sanitation for AllChallenge:Future
The document proposes the "Aarogyam" mobile toilet structure to address sanitation issues in rural India. It is a four-sided wooden structure with wheels and two chambers to separately collect urine and feces for use in biogas and farming. The structure was tested with a farmer's family in Rajasthan, who found it convenient and cost-effective compared to open defecation or public toilets. However, challenges included budget constraints, cultural sensitivities, and the large rural population.

Budget constraints, cultural sensitivity, and evaluating mass impacts were challenges.
Unilever launched Project Shakti in India to provide livelihood opportunities for rural women by empowering them to become micro-entrepreneurs selling Unilever products in their villages. Through a direct-selling model, women gain income by purchasing products from Unilever and selling them door-to-door. This strategic CSR initiative benefits both Unilever through increased sales in rural markets and the women entrepreneurs. The seminar discusses how Project Shakti started and works, its benefits for sustainability and rural development, and recommendations for expanding the program internationally.
For its 31st YLP, GIFT has partnered with IDEI and engaged 23 executives from 13 countries representing 15 companies and organisations to visit local stakeholders and produce a business plan to attract investment and further promote the sales growth of affordable irrigation solutions across India. The group also made strategic recommendations to IDEI on ways to leverage its existing resources and review its organisational structure to provide greater efficiencies through the organisation. This proposal would give IDEI the opportunity to significantly impact the socio-economic livelihoods of rural communities.

• Key Observations
• Suggestions
4. INNOVATION
• Innovation-Development of new customer value through
solutions that meet new needs, unarticulated needs, or old
customer and market needs in new ways.
• Accomplished through different or more effective products,
processes, services, technologies, or ideas.
5. Product and Process Innovation
Process Innovation
• Moderate alteration of an existing good or service.
• Includes an improvement in the good itself or how the good is produced.
• E.g.- Increasing the processing speed and memory capacity of a personal
computer.
Product Innovation
• Process of developing and making available a new product that is substantially
different from, and an improvement over, what currently exists.
• E.g.-Tata Nano
Sometimes an existing product can experience so many process innovations that it
actually becomes a new product.
E.g.-Television-Its been subject to so many process innovations that it effectively
becomes a new product.
6. Degree Of Innovation
Incremental Innovation
• Builds upon existing knowledge and resources within a certain
company.
• Involves modest technological changes and the existing
products in the market will remain competitive.
Radical Innovation
• Requires completely new knowledge and/or resources.
• Involves large technological advancements, rendering the
existing products non-competitive and obsolete.
7. Global Innovation Index
(by INSEAD and WIPO*)
GII recognizes the key role of innovation as a driver of economic growth and
prosperity and acknowledges the need for a broad horizontal vision of innovation that
is applicable to both developed and emerging economies
Pillars Of GII
• Institutions
• Human capital and research
• Infrastructure
• Market sophistication
• Business sophistication
India witnessed a drop in the global innovation index (GII) ranking of 2012 to 64th
position from 62nd last year.
* World Intellectual Property Organization
8. Need For Innovation in India
• To improve its factors of competitiveness.
• To improve productivity and various efficiencies.
• To accelerate its growth.
• To innovation to make growth more inclusive as well as environmentally
sustainable.
• To generate income to meet backlog of needs in
education, health, water, urbanization, and in the provision of other public
services.
• To develop high value industries.
10. SULABH INTERNATIONAL
• Although ancient Indian civilization had world’s
most advanced sanitation and sewage system,
out of 4500 cities only 232 cities of modern
India have sewage sanitation availability.
• In India, as many as 50 diseases are caused by
lack of proper sanitation , affecting over 80% of
the population.
• According to Mr. R.S Jha who is a Senior
Innovator at Sulabh International , women have
to go for defecation before dawn or after dusk.
The school drop-out of female child is also very
high, as toilet facility in schools is barely
available.
• Sulabh is the brain-child of Dr. Bindeshwar
Pathak who started ‘Sulabh Svachchh
Shauchalaya Prashikshan Sansthaan’ (Sulabh
Clean Toilet Training Institute) in 1970.
11. SULABH INTERNATIONAL
• Sulabh has a workforce of over 50,000
volunteers in 25 states and 4 union territories,
in 436 districts and 1247 towns in India.
• It has set upto 11 lakhs household toilets and
7500 community toilet blocks.
• Over 190 human excreta based biogas plants
and made 640 towns scavenging free.
• The Santitation facilities created by Sulabh are
used by over 10 Million people everyday.
12. Innovations at Sulabh International
One of the major achievements of
Sulabh Technologies is ‘Twin-Pit Pour
Flush Toilet’, which provides an on-site
human excreta disposal mechanism and
is an easy and cheap alternative to the
dry toilets. It is not only easy to build and
maintain but also requires much smaller
space and financial resources. One pit is
used at a time while the other one
remains blocked. When the first pit gets
filled up it is blocked and excreta is
diverted to the other pit which then is
put to use. By the time the second pit is
filled up the excreta in the first pit dries
and becomes free of foul smell and can
be use as a rich fertilizer for plants.
13. Biogas plants
• This design is known as the ‘Sulabh
Model’.
• This model does not require
manual handling of excreta and
ensures complete resource
recovery.
• The biogas generated can be
carried through pipelines and can
be used for cooking, lighting,
electricity generation, and body-
warming.
• Sulabh presently runs 160 biogas
plants all over the nation. These
plants run on human excreta. This
is an innovation by Sulabh and
provides three-pronged benefits of
hygienic sanitation, renewable bio-
energy source, and mineral-rich
manure.
14. SIXTH SENSE – Pranav Mistry
• Sixth Sense device augments the
physical world around us into digital
information and lets us use natural hand
gestures to interact with that
information.
• The hardware that makes Sixth Sense
work is very simple: a pendant or any
other wearable interface that has a
camera, a mirror and a projector and is
connected to a smart phone. It can be
easily sourced and customised, and
costs a modest Rs 15,000.
• Pranav Mistry, Research assistant and
PhD candidate at MIT ,has developed
the device.

15. SARVAJAL-WATER ATM
• Sarvajal, which is run by Piramal Water
Private, was started back in 2008 with the
mission of providing affordable, accessible
and pure water for all. Based in
Ahmedabad, Sarvajal recruits local
entrepreneurs to run water service
franchises.
• Sarvajal, which means 'water for all', is
providing clean water for almost 70,000
people with their solar powered water
ATMs. Powered through a franchise
business model, Sarvajal provides the
water filtration equipment and the
maintenance while a member of the local
community runs the business and sells the
water.
16. • Their water filtration devices, which
utilize reverse osmosis and ultraviolet
rays to clean the water, are equipped
with real time monitors to alert the
company of their status
• If a filtration unit begins to not operate
correctly and water quality drops, the
unit notifies Sarvajal immediately and
the company sends someone to
maintain it.
• Customers get 24-7 access to clean
water and pay using their pre-pay cards
(or coins), which they can recharge just
like mobile phone minutes
• Now there are 127 rural franchises
serving almost 70,000 people and
families pay around Rs100 month for
clean water.
17. JAIPUR FOOT
• The Jaipur foot is the unpatented innovation of Mr.
Ram Chander Sharma that has made a normal life
possible for lakhs of amputees around the world.
• In 1975, the society began with a very modest fitment
of 59 artificial limbs but is now fitting about 20,000
artificial limbs and about 30,000 Polio Callipers, and
other Aids and Appliances every year in India and
abroad.
• The Jaipur foot costs less than $30 compared to $8,000
for a comparable prosthesis in the United States. In
fact, the Jaipur foot is given free to all by
BMVSS(Bhagwan Mahaveer Viklang Sahayata Samiti )
18. Godrej Chotukool
• In India more than 80% of the households lack basic appliances such as
refrigerators.
• Electricity is unavailable or unreliable in many rural parts of India, where
families earning under Rs200 per day can't afford major appliances.
• People needed an affordable way to keep milk, vegetables and leftovers
cool for a day or two—both at home or away.
• Innovation
• Instead of traditional compressors, ChotuKool is based on a thermoelectric
chip that maintains a cool temperature on a 12-volt DC current or an
external battery. The unconventional opening ensures cold air settles
down in the cabinet to minimize heat loss and power consumption. The
unit is highly portable, with 45 litres of volume inside a fully plastic body
weighing less than 10 pounds.
• Priced between Rs 3000- 3500, about half of an entry level refrigerator.
20. GE MAC 400 – ECG Machine
• Innovated by GE India
• Portable, original US product
wasn’t.
• Sturdier
• Battery Powered, US product
didn’t work in rural India.
• Reason for innovating – power
outages.
• GE India innovation at 20% of cost
of GE US’ innovation.
• US Medical Industry dumped GE
US product and adopted GE India
Innovation.

30. Global Innovation Efficiency Index
• Index measures Input to Output Ratio.
• Second Best in the World.
• Hong Kong 4/66 Singapore 3/94 US – 7/26
Canada – 8/54 UK 10/50. (GII/GIEI Ranks)
• Lower efficiency rank of above countries can
be attributed to the profit seeking nature of
their innovations.
• Doing more with less.

34. Jugaad Innovation
• Opportunity in adversity.
• No R&D.
• No huge budgets.
• No Ph.D. holders.
• Totally opposite to conventional wisdom.
• Diametrically opposite to management
practices employed globally to encourage
innovation.
35. Jugaad Innovation
• Following the heart.
• Little or no monetary incentives.
• Best incentive to them is the knowledge that
their idea matters.
• Above points experienced in the interactions
we had with various relevant people we
interviewed.
36. Frugal Innovation
• Addressing real needs of common poor people with the right
product at the right price. Exploring innovations in segments
neglected by developed countries.
• Frugality = Cheaper Substitute ?
• Does it mean people in India innovate only cheaper products?
• Or Frugality = Greater Price-Value Substitute ?
• Frugality resulting in greater social welfare – is frugal innovation
the better kind of innovation ?
• Is Frugal innovation the best competitive cost cutting exercise ? – a
way to avoid wage suppression, subsequent exploitation and social
unrest.
• Case : in absence of Jaipur foot innovation, an average Indian
earning 2$/per day would have to spend earnings of 15 years to get
an artificial leg from US.
37. Corporate India Innovation (Labour)
• Case of Expats :
– Pranav Mistry
– Dr. Ramachandran (Phantom Limb)
• Case of Indians based in India :
– Trend : Shifting R&D centers from parent countries to India.
– 750 R&D Centers (Setup by MNCs in India, Each Indian
innovator working on Global Projects).
– Indian innovation masked by the MNC brands.
– Are Indian based in India, creative enough ? – LBS study utilizing
“Forward Citation Criteria” concluded Indian R&D subsidiaries
file equally innovative patents than its US subsidiaries.
– Why no Google/ Facebook from India?
38. Corporate India Innovation (Capital)
• Underdeveloped Investment Ecosystem (Far
lower ratio of Investor per Entrepreneur as
compared to GII leaders. (VCs, Angel Investors)
• Low risk appetite of investors.
• Dominant funding Ex-CEOs, Ex-COOs etc. and not
on the merit of innovators.
• Dominant funding for adaptation of western
ideas. e.g. flipkart.com a spinoff of amazon.com.
• Govt. funds limited yet handled inefficiently. E.g.
NIF funds frozen for 9 years in 12 years since its
inception.
39. Trend : Reverse Innovation
• Innovating in poor countries and moving it to
developed countries.
• Defying Raymond Vernon’s Product Life Cycle
theory which states Innovations will happen in
advanced countries and then later adoption by
developing countries will follow.
• Counter Intuitive. Almost everyone in a
developing country desires apple iPhone but Why
would a rich man buy a poor man’s innovation ?
• Example : GE Healthcare India, Tata Nano, REVA
40. Key Observations
• Innovating for masses is a recurrent theme in
non-corporate Indian innovations.
• Frugality is inherent in most of Indian
innovations.
• Evidence of brain drain at play in Corporate India
- Innovations.
• Availability of very able innovative human
capital.
• Scarcity of funds to promote and utilize human
capital and their innovations.
41. Suggestions
• Joining hands of rural innovators and
corporates.
• Incentivizing innovation.
• Reverse Innovation trend be encouraged by
identifying scope of innovations in areas
neglected by developed economies.
