4 Waarom hebben MKB bedrijven moeite met innovatieve groei? Gebrek aan duidelijke innovatietaal Gebrek aan strategische visie op innovatie Gebrek aan noodzakelijke structuren om succesvol te innoveren 4

6 Definition of innovation Innovation is the transformation of ideas into products/services that can be launched onto the market The Market Science & Technology Base

7 Difference between Research and Innovation The Market Science & Technology Base Philips ( ) My frustration at Philips was that 95% of the projects were stopped. Every time you thought you were on the right track, the project died At Philips, we experimented, we tried and then we stopped Tony Fadell Apple ( ) At Apple, I saw 99,9% of the projects go to the market. If it did not work or it was nog good enough, you continued working until it worked out. There was a complete focus on brining products to the market Father of the ipod One of the Top 50 Disruptors (CNBC)

Every time you thought you were on the right track, the project died At Philips, we experimented, we tried and then we stopped Tony Fadell Apple

8 Different kinds of innovations Type of innovation Product innovation: Changes in the things (products/services) which an organization offers Process innovation: Changes in the ways in which they are created and delivered Novelty of innovation Incremental innovation: Doing what we do better Radical innovation: New to the world

Changes in the ways in which they are created and delivered Novelty of innovation

19 Challenges in Organizing Explorative and Exploitative Innovation at the Individual level Exploitative innovation: Analytic cognitive style 19 Explorative innovation: Intuitive cognitive style

20 Challenges in Organizing Explorative and Exploitative Innovation at the Process level Exploitative innovation: Structured process model 20 Explorative innovation: Flexible process model

21 Challenges in Organizing Explorative and Exploitative Innovation at the Organizational level 21 Exploitative innovation: Mechanistic structure Explorative innovation: Organic structure -Centralized structure with multiple hierarchical levels -Formal coordination by means of vertical communication -Focus on control - Decentralized structure with limited number of hierarchical levels - Informal coordination by means of lateral communication - Focus on autonomy

22 Challenges in organizing explorative and exploitative innovation 22 Individual level Project level Organizational level Exploitative Innovation Analytic cognitive style Sequential process models Functional project structure Mechanistic structure Explorative Innovation Intuitive cognitive style Iterative process models Cross-functional project structure Organic structure

23 Organizing for innovation: Intra-firm solutions Structural separation of exploitative and explorative activities within the firm Exploitation Exploration Structure: Ambidextrous organization, internal venturing department, explorative heavyweight team Advantage: Each separate unit can be optimally staffed, managed and structured Challenges: Expensive and limited ability to realize synergies across different units (Jansen et al., 2009; Van Looy et al., 2005)
