– Duplication
– Synthesis
There are four distinct types of innovation, these are as follows:
 Invention - described as the creation of a new product,
service or process
 Extension - the expansion of a product, service or process
 Duplication - defined as replication of an already existing
product, service or process
 Synthesis - the combination of existing concepts and factors
into a new formulation
Innovation

Type Description Examples
Invention Totally new product, service,
or process
Wright brothers—airplane
Thomas Edison—light bulb
Alexander Graham Bell—telephone
Extension New use or different
application of an already
existing product, service,
or process
Ray Kroc—McDonald’s
Mark Zuckerberg—Facebook
Barry Sternlicht—Starwood Hotels &

Duplicatio

Creative replication of an
existing concept
Wal-Mart—department stores
Gateway—personal computers
Pizza Hut—pizza parlor
Synthesis Combination of existing
concepts and factors into a
new formulation or use
Fred Smith—Fed Ex

Innovtion comes through these
• Innovation comes about through new
combinations made by an entrepreneur,
resulting in
– a new product,
– A new service

Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurs make things happen.

a reality. A product, policy or institution.

are engines of change.
• Entrepreneurship occurs in all areas of life. In business,
academy, government, Health and Ngos.
• Entrepreneurship can be used for good and evil.
Entrepreneurs Can Be Encouraged and
Discouraged
• Openness to new ideas, freedom from investigation
of operation, promotion and pay based on merit
encourage entrepreneurship.
• Excessive regulation, rigid hierarchy, lack of freedom,
and excess control discourage entrepreneurship.
The Innovation Process

developed before application.
• Innovations may be inspired by reality. The innovation
process, which leads to useful technology, requires:
– Research

Challenges of Innovation
• Seeds versus Weeds
• Experience versus Initiative

Seeds versus Weeds
• Deciding the merits of innovative ideas
– Seeds – likely to create new
– Weeds – cast away an existing one
• Dilemma
– Some innovation projects require considerable level of
investment before merit can be determined
Experience versus Initiative
• Deciding who will lead an innovation project
– Senior managers have experience and credibility
and tend to be more risk averse
– Midlevel employees may be the innovators
themselves and have more enthusiasm
Internal versus External Staffing
• People drawn from inside the firm
– May have greater social capital
– Know the organization’s culture and routines
– May not be able to think outside the box
• People drawn from outside the firm
– Are costly to recruit, hire, train
– May have difficulty building relationships
Building Capabilities versus Collaborating
• Firms can seek help
– Other departments
– Partner with other companies that bring resources
and experience
• Partnerships
– Create dependencies and inhibit internal skills
development
– Sharing benefits of innovation may create conflict
Entrepreneurial Venture vs.
Small Business Management

markets
