At the heart ofentrepreneurshipis innovationThe effort to createpurposeful, focused changein an enterprise’s economicor social potential

“In the competition forbreakthrough solutions,managers worry toomuch about the

Entrepreneurialpersonality

There areinnovations thatspring from aflash of genius

Most innovations, however, especiallythe successful ones, result froma conscious, purposeful searchfor innovation opportunities

The key is toknow whereto look

The innovation opportunities arefound only in a few situations

Within a companyor industry

but most of people dismiss them, disregardthem and even resent them

In early 1930s, thefirst modernaccounting machinefrom IBM failed toget into the banks

What saved thecompany was itsexploitation of anunexpected success:The libraries in thoseearly New Deal days had money and theywanted the machines

2incongruities

2incongruities

Out of which innovation opportunities may arise

An incongruity within the logic orrhythm of a process is anotherimportant possibility

By the 1960s, cataractremoval had become“high-tech“, expect forcutting a ligament, an“old-fashioned” stepthat was uncomfortablefor eye surgeons

Alcon Laboratoriesresponded bymodifying an enzymethat can dissolve theligament instead ofcutting. That newsolution made Alcon aworldwide monopoly.

and correcting or redesigning them

process need involves identifying the company or industry’s process weak spots

The “media”, as we knowtoday, had its origin intwo process innovationsdeveloped around 1890

Linotype made itpossible to producenewspapers quickly

Advertising made itpossible to distributenews practically freeof charge.

4Industry& Market

Change

4Industry structures can, andoften do, change overnightSuch change creates tremendousopportunities for innovation

Industry& Market

Change

In 1960s, thestructure of thefinancial industrywas changing asinstitutional investorsbecame dominant

The brokerage firmof Donaldson, Lufkin& Jenrette (DLJ)became one of WallStreet’s stellarperformers becauseof their foresight ofand action for thecoming change

In the social and intellectual environment

5DemographicChange

5DemographicChange

Of the outside sources ofinnovation opportunities

Demographic changes are the mostreliable with known lead times

Around 1970,Everyone knew thatthe number of blue-collar manufacturingworkers wouldbecome inadequateby 1990

Only the Japanesetook action, started todevelop and adoptrobotics in themanufacturing andbecame the leader inrobotics in 1990s

6PerceptionChange

6PerceptionChange

A change in perception does notalter facts, but their meaning –and very quicklyIt can be exploited for innovationopportunity

In 1980s, all factualevidence indicated thatAmerican’s health hadimproved in the pastdecades. But collective hypochondria created so much concern or fearabout health

This view became the source of innovation and created the new market for health care magazines, exercise classes, indoor jogging equipment, etc.

7New Knowledge

7New Knowledge

Among history-making innovations,

those innovations based onnew knowledge rank high

The innovations of thissort usually requirethe convergence ofdifferent kinds ofknowledge.

And, it has the longest lead time of all innovations and involves highest market risk

The strands ofknowledge required for the computer wereavailable since 1918, butthe first operationaldigital computer did notappear until 1946 when those knowledges converged.

In 1920s, 300 to 500 automobile companies existed in US; by 1960, only 4 of them remained

Purposeful, systematic innovation begins withthe analysis of the sources of new opportunities

Successful entrepreneursdon’t wait for innovative ideasto strike like a lightning bolt.

They go out andlook for innovationopportunities inthese seven keyareas.

The very foundation of entrepreneurshipis the practice of systematic innovation

In innovation, as in anyother endeavor, ifdiligence, persistence andcommitment are lacking,talent, ingenuity andknowledge are of no avail.
