CHAPTER 10
Innovative Strategies and Business Models
• Why innovate?• Problem with strategy: Developed for
existing conditions, not necessarily future oriented
• Conditions change – “creative destruction” of markets noted by Joseph Schumpeeer
• Hypercompetition (p. 209) – fast paced change
• Transient advantage replaces competitive advantage
• Innovation offers transient advantage

Incremental InnovationsINCREMENTAL INNOVATIONS
• Builds on existing knowledge base
• Better offerings that generate better profits from current customers
• New features
• Important for success but they don’t create growth because they are replacements of existing products

CATEGORIES OF DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION
• Reconfigure the Value/Supply Chain to Eliminate Activities– Amazon vs. Barnes & Noble; Netflix vs. Blockbuster,
1800 Mattress, Charles Schwab (eliminate stores, labor, and inventory).
– Southwest vs. Hub & Spoke carriers (eliminate meals, seat reservations, baggage transfer, etc.)
Process innovations that typically create an efficient new business model; allow companies to create, deliver, sell, or service a product more efficiently.

CATEGORIES OF DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION
Low End Disruption: Low cost business model based on new technology that improves
– Nucor vs. U.S. Steel– Skype vs. AT&T – Honda vs. Harley Davidson or Mercedes Benz
LOW-END DISRUPTIVE INNOVATIONS
• Target customers whose needs are over-served in the mainstream market– Price is far more important than features.
• Product performance is “good enough” on basic features to attract low-end customers of the mainstream market
• Entrant– uses a new low cost business model– performs different activities which allows
the firm to earn profits even at deeply discounted prices
DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES ARE A DRIVER OF LEADERSHIP FAILURE AND THE SOURCE OF
NEW GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
Why?• Leader overlooks the disruptive threat
• Leader dismisses new technology
• Leader committed to existed technology

High End Disruption: Leapfrog technology with premium price comes from top-down.
– Apple iPod vs. Sony Discman– Flash drives vs. floppy disks– PCs vs. typewriters– Cell phones vs. landlines

THE HIGH END DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION MODEL*
WHY HIGH END DISRUPTIONS ARE DIFFICULT FOR
INCUMBENTS TO IMITATERadical (Architectural) Innovation• A product’s architecture
• Reflects the way in which a set of components are integrated into a “system” (product).
• Change the architecture of a product (the way they are linked together or adding new components) without fundamentally changing the technology underlying its components (e.g., iPod, Starbucks, FedEx).
Radical (Technological) Innovation• Based on a different set of engineering and scientific principles and
technologies• Compared to established products, a radical technological innovation
• establishes a new dominant design for the product and• a new set of core technologies and design concepts embodied in
components that are linked together in a new product architecture (e.g., Mobile phones, PCs, Electronic Fuel Injection).
CATEGORIES OF DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION
Reconfigure the Value/Supply Chain to allow for “Mass Customization”—the mass production of customized goods.
• Build-A-Bear (mass produce components of stuffed animals and customize them at stores)
• Dell Direct (customized computers) • Timbuk2 (customize/design your own handbag)• Nike ID (customize/design your own shoe.• My Twinn (customize your own doll, etc.)
CONFLICTS IN MASS CUSTOMIZATION
Conflicts in Name:Mass – Aggregation
Customization – one-of-a-kind
Conflicts in Operability:Customers’ demands are diverse and irregular which calls for leads to high component variety, large numbers of suppliers, and high administrative complexity

CATEGORIES OF DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION
Blue Ocean Strategy: create new demand in an uncontested market space.
– Cirque de Soleil (combination of circus, acrobatic troupe, music, Broadway).
– Federal express (met uncontested demand for secure overnight delivery).
– ChotuKool ($49 refrigerator that runs on a battery and uses solid state thermoelectric cooling)
80% of Indian households have no refrigerator
Refrigerators• Expensive• Large• Requires
electricity• Difficult to
service
ChotuKool• Affordable• Small• Requires no
electricity• Easy to
service
CHOTUKOOL: TARGETING A BLUE OCEAN
CATEGORIES OF DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION
Free Business Models– Free Upsell (Freemium): Zynga; Skype
– Free Cross Sell: Mint.com; Ryanair,
– Free 3rd Party Pay: Google, Craigslist
– Free Bundled free: Cell phone service; printers, financial services (e.g. trades), etc.
COMPETING WITH FREE1. Free Up-Sell Strategy (“Freemium”):
Offer a free version to gain attention and widespread use; then offer a premium product with advanced features for customers willing to pay.
Skype, Flickr, Zynga
Requirements: A free product that appeals to a very large user base so that even
a low conversion rate of free users to paying customers will generate substantial revenues
OR
A high percentage of users willing to pay for the premium version
COMPETING WITH FREE
2. Free Cross-Sell Strategy: Offer a free version to gain attention and widespread use; then offer other products for which customers are willing to pay.
Ryanair, Galderma, mint
Requirements: A broad product line (preferably products that complement
the free product)
OR The ability through partnerships to sell a broad line of
products to users of the free product
COMPETING WITH FREE3. Free Third Party Pay (Advertising) Strategy:
Make the product/service free to generate a community (network externality) for which you get paid by a third party company who desires access to that community.
Google, Hulu, Craigslist, Blyk, Ryanair
Requirements: A free offering that attracts either many users who can be
segmented for advertisers or a targeted group that comprises a customer segment
AND Third parties willing to pay to reach these customers

CONVERTING PRODUCT USERS INTO REVENUES
COMPETING WITH FREE4. Free Bundling Strategy (Direct cross
subsidy): Bundle the free product with non-free products and derive revenues from non-free products; can’t get the one without the other.
Requirements: Products or services that can be bundled with the free
offering
OR A free product that needs regular maintenance or
complementary products (e.g., free printer but costly ink).
