, Part 1: Innovation management
1 Chapter 1 Innovation management: an introduction
1.1 Definition of innovation
Innovation = theoretical conception + technical invention + commercial exploitation
Management : The organization and coordination of the activities of a business in
order to achieve defined objectives. Management is often included as a factor of
production along with machines, materials, and money. The basic task of
management includes both marketing and innovation. Management consists of the
interlocking functions of creating corporate policy and organizing, planning,
controlling, and directing an organization's resources in order to achieve the
objectives of that policy. (Peter Drucker)
“Innovation is not a single action but a total process of interrelated sub processes. It is not just the
conception of a new idea, nor the invention of a new device, nor the development of a new market. The
process is all these things acting in an integrated fashion…” Myers and Marquis (1969)
Innovation is about bringing an idea successful to the market.
1.1.1 A typology of innovations
Type of innovation Example
Product innovation The development of a new or improved product
Process innovation The development of a new manufacturing process such as
Pilkington’s float glass process
Organisational innovation A new venture division; a new internal communication system;
introduction of a new accounting procedure
Management innovation TQM systems; BRP; introduction of SAPR3
Production innovation Quality circles: just-in-time manufacturing system, new
production planning software
Commercial/ marketing innovation New financing arrangements; new sales approach
Service innovation Internet-based financial services
The types of innovation are not mutually exclusive: 1 innovation can contain more types
