Innovation is:• Introduction of a new good, or a new quality of a good• Introduction of a new method of production (need not
need include new technologies)• The opening of a new market • The securing of a new source of supply• The creation of a new organization

2. Importance of Firm-Level Innovation In a knowledge based economy, organizations that
are able to do more with less, outperform competitors
In the private sector, higher productivity makes you the acquirer, rather then the acquiree
In the public sector, exceeding benchmarks is encouraged, while falling behind has negative repercussions
“In the road to the future, there are drivers, passengers and roadkill” Gary Hamel

3. Recognize different types of innovationInnovation is often confused with invention and
specifically research and development leading to new technologies. In fact innovation includes:
a. Product Innovationb. Process Innovationc. Supply chain Innovationd. Service Innovatione. Business model Innovation……….. And can be applied to all areas of an organization

b) Process innovation
A change in the way a product or service is manufactured, created, or distributed
Process innovation involves implementation of new or improved production or delivery method.
Process innovations can be intended to decrease unit costs of production or delivery, to increase quality, or to produce or deliver new or significantly improved products.
![Page 12: Course intro (1)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55592bb1d8b42a543d8b46f0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What product/service will be delivered to customers What components or services will be acquired
externallyHow you will add value internally This involves consideration of:
Core competencies necessary for long term success Availability of partners in supply chain Strategic risk management of relationship
c) Supply Chain Innovation
![Page 13: Course intro (1)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55592bb1d8b42a543d8b46f0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• New raw materials• Alternate suppliers• Outsource manufacturing• Third party distribution• Sales agents or on-line sales Consider:
Risk management Financial implications Market issues
Supply Chain Innovation Opportunities
![Page 14: Course intro (1)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55592bb1d8b42a543d8b46f0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Establish specific innovation goals Improve quality of
processes, products and services
Create of new markets Extend product range Reduce labour costs Improve production
processes
Reduce use of raw materials
Reduce environmental damage
Reduce energy consumption
Conform to regulations
If you don’t have specific goals, your chance of reaching them are small
