when a firm finds that a good idea is not commercially viable, given a firm’s present strategy; rather than shelving the idea, commercialization can take place through licenses, spin-offs, and joint ventures ■ P&G launched the concept of open innovation in 2001, with its Connect & Develop program ©2013 Cengage Learning All Rights Reserved May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in

EXTERNAL TECHNOLOGIES AND IDEAS WITH INTERNAL R&D CAPABILITIES ■ Open innovation examples: ● P&G - Tide Total Care was developed through Sweden’s Lund University and two small chemical companies as partners ● P&G - Glad brand plastic bag joint venture with Clorox, a historical rival ● P&G - Food product joint ventures with ConAgra and General Mills ©2013 Cengage Learning All Rights Reserved May

for open innovation solutions: ● Customer-driven: tapping unmet customer needs ● Technology-driven: substantial R&D investments ● Competitor-driven: Fast follower of competitors’ successful strategies

the commercialization of a new good or service ■ Product champion: individual with an entrepreneurial vision of a new good or service who seeks to create support in the organization for its commercialization ■ Autonomous strategic behavior is focused on firm’s knowledge and resources ■ Knowledge must be continuously diffused throughout the firm ©2013 Cengage Learning All Rights Reserved

• Entrepreneurial new venture firms may need investment capital and distribution capabilities More established companies may need new technological knowledge possessed by newer entrepreneurial firms To innovate via cooperative relationships, firms must share their knowledge and skills – strategic alliances and joint ventures allow this to occur ©2013 Cengage Learning All Rights Reserved May not

classroom use INNOVATION THROUGH ACQUISITIONS • • • • • • Rapidly extend the product line Increase the firm’s revenues KEY RISK: a firm may substitute its ability to buy innovations for its ability to produce innovations internally A firm may: • Lose its intensity in R&D efforts • Lose its ability to produce patents Research demonstrates that subsequent to acquisitions, firms introduce fewer new products into the market This is because firms focus on the financial controls at the expense of strategic control ©2013 Cengage Learning All Rights Reserved May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated,
