Business model innovation

Abstract: The Oxford Handbook of Innovation Management offers a comprehensive and timely analysis of the nature and importance of innovation and the strategies and practices that can be used to improve organizational benefits from innovation. Innovation is centrally important for business and national competitiveness, and for the quality and standard of living around the world, but it does not happen by itself. For innovation to succeed, it needs to be properly managed. With contributions from 49 world-leading scholars, the Handbook explores the many sources of innovation, the broader social, economic, and technological contexts that encourage and constrain it, and the cutting-edge strategies and practices of innovation management. The book addresses the traditional concerns of innovation management—such as managing RD, intellectual property, and creativity, and the contributions of science and marketing—but substantially extends traditional areas of interest. In this new volume, chapters examine emerging topics including design, social networks, open and social innovation, and innovation in business models, ecosystems, services, and platforms. The book explores the importance of innovation management for environmental sustainability, and its evolving nature and practice in Asia. Written in an accessible style, and with carefully selected bibliographies and a comprehensive index, the Handbook offers a uniquely authoritative and wide-ranging source of knowledge about innovation management. Each chapter identifies key issues and reviews the most important research findings. Future research questions are identified. The Handbook will be invaluable for students and faculty studying, researching, and teaching innovation, and for managers seeking to improve innovation outcomes in their organizations. Readership: Academics, researchers, and students of innovation and technology management; managers seeking to improve innovation outcomes in their organizations.

Business Model Generation

Abstract: “Design Tomorrow’s Enterprises” Upstart technologies and lightning-fast implementation drive various new business models that are radically altering industries and commerce. Just look at how Apple’s iPod has revolutionized the music industry, how Skype has turned the telecommunications field upside down and how Grameen Bank has “popularized microlending” as a new form of finance. A business model – defined as “the rationale of how an organization creates, delivers and captures value” – can launch an entrepreneur’s new idea or readjust the thrust of an existing company. The Swatch Group is a case in point: Previously specializing in high-end watches, the Swiss company diversified into the production of the low-priced Swatch line of watches in response to Asian rivals. The Swatch Group has thrived in both the upper and lower segments of its market largely because it chose to serve these segments by using different business models. Swatch is an example of a company that manages not just one but a “portfolio” of business models. Constructing a Business Model Strategizing an innovative business model, a process which sometimes can resemble structured chaos, demands a fresh approach to creativity. The “Business Model Canvas” delivers a framework for focused brainstorming and staff inspiration. Major companies such as Ericsson, IBM and Deloitte have adopted it for their “business model generation.” The Business Model Canvas provides a flexible template for capturing the nine essential parts of a business model. The “canvas” is usually a large piece of paper with sections “In today’s climate, it’s best to assume that most business models, even successful ones, will have a short lifespan.” “A business model can best be described through nine basic building blocks that show the logic of how a company intends to make money.”
