Innovation, Technological Change and Competition • Incremental Technological Change Change that refines existing technology and leads to gradual improvements or refinements of products over time. • Improvements in gas mileage for internal combustion engines represent incremental technological changes in automotive manufacturing.

Effects of Technological Change • Technological change can be threatening to firms that are slow to change while, at the same time, providing benefits to those firms that change and adapt. Microsoft was quick to embrace graphic user interface programs and now is predominant in the software business. Microsoft failed to recognize the importance of the Internet and initially fell behind its competitors in the development of a web browser for its software customers. © Copyright McGraw-Hill.

Product Life Cycles and Product Development • Product Life Cycle Changes in product demand from its introduction through its growth and maturity to its decline. • Embryonic stage: product is not widely accepted and has minimal demand. • Growth stage: many consumers seek out the product and buy it for the first time. • Mature stage: demand peaks since most buyers already have the product and only buy replacements. • Decline stage: demand falls off as the product becomes obsolete. © Copyright McGraw-Hill.

Product Life Cycles and Product Development • The Rate of Technological Change The rate of change determines the length of the product life cycle demand curve. • In the computer industry, life cycle is about 18 months; in the steel industry, it is many years.

Principles of Product Development • Principle 1: Use a Stage-Gate Development Funnel Forces managers to make choices among competing projects to avoid spreading organizational resources too thin. • Stage 1 considers all new ideas that are feasible and meet the strategic goals of the firm. • Stage 2 focuses on reviewing product development plans; with the best continuing on. • Stage 3 issues a contract book and focuses on responsibilities, budgets, and resources in a symbolic launch of the formal development. © Copyright McGraw-Hill.

Principles of Product Development (cont’d) • Principle 2: Establish Cross-Functional Teams Cross functional teams are a crucial part of effective product development. • Core members of the team are the people primarily responsible for the development effort. • Management must ensure there is coordination and communications between team members. • Teams are often located physically together. • Successful teams will develop a clear sense of their objectives and share a common mission.

Principles of Product Development (cont’d) • Principle 3: Concurrent Engineering The traditional engineering approach follows a sequential flow resulting in long development times and poor quality if managers do not communicate between departments. • By working concurrently, design and production issues are considered together. • Production concerns are addressed while the product is designed and can still be changed.

Principles of Product Development (cont’d) • Principle 4: Involve Both Customers and Suppliers Products fail because their design does not meet the needs of customers. • Customer ideas and needs should be included in the design process. • Solicit customer input from many sources.

Suppliers are also critical to the success of a product. • Include them during concurrent engineering. • Seek out their ideas and input early in the process. © Copyright McGraw-Hill. All rights reserved.

Entrepreneurship • Entrepreneurs Individuals who notice opportunities and take the responsibility for mobilizing the resources necessary to produce new and improved goods and services. • Entrepreneurs start new businesses and carry out all of the management functions. • Entrepreneurs assume all of the risks for losses and receive all of the returns (profits) from their ventures.

19–16

Entrepreneurship (cont’d) • Intrapreneurs Individuals (managers, scientists, or researchers) who work inside an existing organization and notice an opportunity for product improvements and are responsible for managing the product development process. • Intrapreneurs frustrated with the lack of support or opportunity at their firm often leave and form their own new ventures.

Entrepreneurship and Management • To become involved in an entrepreneurial firm: Start your own business as an entrepreneur. Work for a growing entrepreneur in their firm. Develop a plan for the new business • Designing a plan to guide the business is similar to a product development plan. • Firms without plan usually fail

Franchising allows you to purchase a plan and the experience of existing firm to reduce risk. © Copyright McGraw-Hill. All rights reserved.

Developing a Plan for a New Business Step 1

Step 2

Conduct strategic analysis (SWOT) to identify: Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats.

Step 3

Is the business opportunity feasible?

Step 4

Prepare a detailed business plan including mission, goals, strategic and financial objectives, resources required, and a timeline of events.
