ENTR 820 | Session 2 | Understanding Innovation Management
Innovation is far more than a "light bulb" moment of pure creativity; it is a disciplined management process that transforms ideas into tangible value through structured frameworks and integrated scientific, financial, and technical activities.
It encompasses dimensions beyond products, including process, business model, and service innovations, which often provide a more sustained competitive advantage because they are more difficult for competitors to copy.
To succeed, organizations must balance a portfolio of incremental, breakthrough, and radical innovations while fostering a cross-functional environment that integrates R&D, marketing, operations, and external partnerships.
Ultimately, effective innovation management—often conceptualized through models like the Innovation Pentathlon—requires aligning strategy, people, and culture to navigate the "messy" reality of feedback loops, dead ends, and environmental uncertainty.
