Need-pull innovation is particularly important at mature stages in industry or product life cycles when there is more than one offering to choose Competing depends on differentiating on the
basis of needs and attributes and Segmenting the offering to suit different adopter types
Needing pull…

User as innovatorsImportantly active and interested user-"lead users"-are often well ahead of the market in terms of innovation needs.
Extreme usersAn important variant that picks up on both the lead user and the fringe need concepts lies in the idea of extreme environment as a source of innovation.
![Page 9: Sources of innovation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816264550346895dd2c9d5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
innovation is essentially a competitive search for new or different solutions-whether in the sense of commercial enterprises competing with each other for market share or in the wider sense of public service , where the competition is for doing more with limited resources , or between law and order and crime , or education and illiteracy.

This is an important principle in sourcing innovation where transferring or combining old ideas in new contexts-a process called “ recombinant innovation" by Andrew Hargadon -can be a powerful resource.
Recombinant innovation
![Page 11: Sources of innovation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816264550346895dd2c9d5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Another source of stimuli for innovation comes through imagining and exploring alternative trajectories to the dominant version in everyday use.
Future and forecasting
![Page 12: Sources of innovation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816264550346895dd2c9d5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
accidents and unexpected events happen-and in the course of a carefully planned R&D project they could be seen as annoying disruptions . But on occasions accidents can also trigger innovation, opening up surprisingly new line of attack.
Accidents
![Page 13: Sources of innovation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816264550346895dd2c9d5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
It's clear that opportunities for innovation are not in short supply-and they arise from many different directions. The key challenge for innovation management is how to make sense of the potential input and to do so with often limited resources.
A framework for looking at innovation sources
![Page 14: Sources of innovation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816264550346895dd2c9d5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A core theme in discussion of innovation relates to the tensions in search behaviour between "exploitation“ and "exploration activities". On the one hand firms need to deploy knowledge resources and other assets to secure returns and a "safe“ way of doing so is to harvest a steady flow of benefits derived from "doing what we do better".
Balancing exploitation and exploration
![Page 15: Sources of innovation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816264550346895dd2c9d5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
One more broad strategic point concern the question of where , when and how organizations make use of external knowledge to grow. it's easy to make the assumption that because there is a rich environment full of potential sources of innovation that every organization will find and make use of these.
Absorptive capacity
![Page 16: Sources of innovation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816264550346895dd2c9d5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Tools and mechanisms to enable search
![Page 17: Sources of innovation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816264550346895dd2c9d5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Through this class we learned that managing innovation is a dynamic capability: Something which needs to be updated and
extended on a continuing basis to deal with the moving frontier problem
Managing internal knowledge connections
![Page 18: Sources of innovation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816264550346895dd2c9d5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
One good source of internal innovation lies in entrepreneurial ideas from employees
Managing internal knowledge connections
![Page 19: Sources of innovation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816264550346895dd2c9d5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The principle of spreading the net widely is well established in innovation studies as a success factor
One survey run by IBM illustrated that the benefit from collaboration with partners:
1. Reduce costs 2. Higher quality and customer satisfaction 3. Increase revenue
Extending external connections
![Page 20: Sources of innovation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816264550346895dd2c9d5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
This is a widely used strategy which involves sending out people to search actively for new ideas to trigger the innovation process
They could be searching for: Technological triggers Emerging markets or trends Competitor behavior
Sending out scouts
![Page 21: Sources of innovation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816264550346895dd2c9d5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Futures studies of various kinds can provide a powerful source of ideas about possible innovation triggers
Another related approach is to build concept models and prototypes to explore reactions and provide a focus for various different kinds of input
Exploring multiple futures
![Page 22: Sources of innovation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816264550346895dd2c9d5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
This is a widely used approach but powerful tool
Developments in communications technology also make it possible to provide links across outer and internet to speed up the process of bringing signals into where they are needed
Using the web
![Page 23: Sources of innovation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816264550346895dd2c9d5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Active users are the edge of the mainstream, they are not early adopters but active innovators
They feel strongly about the product or service in question, they really want to help and improve things
Working with active users
![Page 24: Sources of innovation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816264550346895dd2c9d5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
This method focus on in the day to day life of the object of study rather than through questioning only

The purpose of corporate venturing is to provide some ring-fenced funds to invest in new directions for the business
