Types of innovations:
•Not easy to establish a single list,
•May classifications, based on different criteria.
•Origin: internal vs. external.
•Nature : organizational, social, environmental, technological.
•Scope:incremental vs. radical.
•Object: product, service, process, …
•…
•It depends on the point of interest and the angle of
study.

Incremental vs. radical innovations:
•According to the scope or the impact, different “degrees”:
1. Incremental (evolutionary), continuous, ...
• optimization and further development of existing
products, services or processes.
2. Radical, discontinuous, revolutionary, breakthrough…
• new products, services or processes and involve
significant change and innovation.
3. Transformational, disruptive.
• the impact is also greater: new value chain and new
markets can be created as a result.

Open innovation vs. closed innovation.
•The literature contains a division into closed and open
innovation, although this refers more to innovation
management than innovation itself.
•Closed innovation involves only internal resourcesfor
generating ideas, developing and implementing innovations.
•Open innovation also integrates external partnerssuch as
customers, research institutes or suppliers into the innovation
process.

creating,blockbuster productsand services.
•Thereare innovation typesavailablefor each
phase of the category lifecycle,from growth
through maturityand decline,to end of life.

Moore’s 14 innovation types:
•In his book “Dealing with Darwin: How Great
Companies Innovate at Every Phase of Their
Evolution”, Moore presents 14 innovation types
in 4 classes:

Introduction tothe concepts of Creativity & Innovation, by Kamal M. AL MASRI
Regarding the lifecycle (Geoffrey Moore)
•There are innovation types available for each phase of the
category life cycle, from growth through maturity and
decline, to end of life.
•The single most important act of strategy leadership is to
select the innovation vector upon which your company
will develop its sustainable competitive advantage—its
core.
•To do thisproperly requires a deeper understanding of the
properties of each ofthese innovation types.
32. 32
Introduction tothe concepts of Creativity & Innovation, by Kamal M. AL MASRI
Explanation:
•Moore identifies five life cycle categories for
products and services: emergent, growth,
maturity, decline, and end of life.
•Innovation types span the entire category
life cycle and can contribute to overall
corporate growth.
33. 33
Introduction tothe concepts of Creativity & Innovation, by Kamal M. AL MASRI
Emergent and growth
•Disruptive innovation, the type of innovation which is
most often associated with high technology, occurs in the
emergent category.
•This phase is described “Crossing the Chasm”, and
involves the leap from early adopters to mainstream
buyers where it enters the growth phase.
•Although disruptive innovation is highly desirable, it is
not the only type of innovation available to companies.
35. 35

I- Product Leadership
• This group of innovation types is characterized as very powerful,
expensive and risky. Therefore, they must be executed in high growth
markets to realize the necessary returns and market share wins.
• 1-DisruptiveInnovation–Products andservices which createtechnology
discontinuitiesand newmarketcategoriesare part of this set.
• Existing standards and valuechains are over-turned in favorof newapproaches.
• Ex.:Digital media (music, film) and social media networks.
• 2-Application Innovation– Findingnew uses,newaudiences, andre-combining
existing functionalityare attributesofthiscategory.
• Standards change, existing value chains are disrupted.
• Ex.:Theapplication of Macintosh computers to desktop publishing and using fault tolerant computers
torun ATM networks.
very powerful, expensive and risky
36. 36
Introduction tothe concepts of Creativity & Innovation, by Kamal M. AL MASRI
I- Product Leadership (cont.)
•3- Product Innovation: Existing products are improved
through functionality and usability for existingmarkets.
• Success is achieved through time to market andpatent protection.
• Improvements such as wireless connectivity in laptops, cameras in cell
phones, andhybrid engines in cars are examples of product innovation.
•4- Platform Innovation: Platform leaders create foundational
or ingredient systems on which third parties can build
further value.
• Success here relies on architectural leadership, relationship building, and
creating benefits for the entire ecosystem. (Intel andMicrosoft).
37. 37
Introduction tothe concepts of Creativity & Innovation, by Kamal M. AL MASRI
II- Customer Intimacy
• Thisgroup ofinnovation typesare less riskyand less powerful, butcan givea
companymoney backthrough costand efficiencysavings.Duetoits lower power
potential,this group isbetter suitedfor maturemarketswhere marketshare is
more likely to beconstant.
• 5-Line-ExtensionInnovation:Line-extensionsintroduce newsub-categorieswithin
existingofferinggroups.
• Much of the infrastructure stays the same, but user-facing features orpackaging changes sufficiently to
create novel products and services.
• Examples are SUVs for an auto manufacturer orlaptops for a computer manufacturer.
• 6-EnhancementInnovation:Thisis a smaller,more targeted,modificationor feature
enhancementtoan existingofferingsuch as Teflon coatingfor pans or higher pixel
ratingsfor digitalcameras.
less risky and less powerful
38. 38
Introduction tothe concepts of Creativity & Innovation, by Kamal M. AL MASRI
II- Customer Intimacy (cont.)
•7- Marketing Innovation: Marketing innovation uses new
or highly effectivemarketing campaigns such as viral
strategies, social media, or crowd sourcing to outpace
competitors.
•8- Experiential Innovation: Thiscategory occurs most
frequently in service offerings, or by adding a service to an
existing product.
• Here the overall experience of a offering is enhanced through
personalization, 1:1attention, or a higher level of value add.
39. 39
Introduction tothe concepts of Creativity & Innovation, by Kamal M. AL MASRI
III- Operational Excellence
• LikeCustomerIntimacy,theOperationalExcellencezone is less riskyand less
powerful, but can givea companymoney backthrough costand efficiencysavings.
Duetoits lowerpowerpotential,this group isbettersuitedformaturemarketswhere
marketshareis morelikelytobeconstant.
• 9- Value-EngineeringInnovation– The goal in thiscategory is to decrease costs
in manufacturing/development for existing offers withoutchangingtheir
composition. Optimizingcomponentparts and theoverall assembly / creation
process are tactics here.
• 10- IntegrationInnovation– This is the flip-side of value-engineering
innovation–thecustomer’s cost of ownership is decreased by simplification
and/or consolidation intoa singleentity thatcan be managed more effectively
thanmultiplepieces.
40. 40
Introduction tothe concepts of Creativity & Innovation, by Kamal M. AL MASRI
III- Operational Excellence (cont.)
•11- Process Innovation: The goal ofthis type of innovation is
to reduce waste and cost from processes thatsupport and
enable the offer, rather than offer itself.
• Inventory management andquality programs can be used here.
•12- Value-Migration Innovation: This type ofinnovation is
described in Adrian Slywotzky’s book Value Migration.
• Companies taking this approach will move away from segments of the
value chain which are commoditized to segments which are richer in
profit andgrowth opportunities.
41. 41
Introduction tothe concepts of Creativity & Innovation, by Kamal M. AL MASRI
IV - Category Renewal
•This phase comes into play when a business is declining and
must be wound down or immediatelyexited:
13. Organic Innovation: Re-positioning a company to a growth
category is the goalof organic innovation.
• Examples are IBM moving from hardware/software to
services and Microsoft moving into browser software.
14. Acquisition Innovation: This strategy equates to mergers and
acquisitions, either as a buyer or seller.
•Harvest and Exit – This decision effectively closes out a line
of business.

From strategic point of view
• The innovation ambition matrix goes one step further than
the three-horizon model.
• Their framework isbased ontwo main dimensions: Products (new
products versus existing products) and markets (new markets versus
existing markets).
• Basedon the two dimensions mentioned above, they distinguish three main
types of innovation:
1) Core,
2) secondary and
3) transformation innovations (figure 4).
