Report
Introduction
Today’s market competitiveness ensures that company adapt to market
scenario to stay abreast the fluid nature of the business environment.
Innovation, invention and commercialization offer the chance to quickly
improve products that will respond to the demanding needs of consumers
challenge their aesthetics and offer thorough satisfaction in other to
increase the customer loyalty.
In the United Kingdom for example the private sector as reported by
(NESTA, 2009) experience high productivity growth because of innovation.
Aldo (OECD Report in 2010) that the epicentre and focus of growth in
most developed countries is innovation.
The following report is based on the importance of innovation in Samsung
Electronics Co. Ltd. And also, in Heinz the companies are both
multinational companies. Samsung is a company situated in Suwon in
South Korea and is one of electronic companies leading in the industry.
Heinz is a food company base in Europe with a global packages’ delivery.
Both companies represent the example of the application of innovation
and commercialization to create change in their individual sectors. In this
report, we will examine the concept of innovation in depth and its types as
well as implementation within the organization.
The report will consequently discus the disparity between innovation and
invention and also expose the source of innovation and the organization
impact of vision, teamwork, leadership and culture on commercialization
and innovation.
P1 Explain innovation and determine its importance to organizations in
comparison with invention.
Innovation
Innovation is often the process of turning an invention or creation into a
finished product of the type that will pass great value for customers to pay
for.can be defined as the process of converting an invention or idea into
finished good or service that creates value for which the customer will
pay. It is generally the process of executing developing and visualising
ideas in a way that will improve products and create essential value to
consumers.
According to (Ward, S., 2018) Innovation is the way toward making
(something) new or accomplishing something in another way. In business,
development additionally needs to incorporate the idea of progress; to
advance in business isn't simply to accomplish something in an
unexpected way, however to improve.

Innovation is an improvement on something. There are two types of
innovations:
Evolutionary Innovations (continuous or dynamic evolutionary innovation)
that are brought about by many incremental advances in technology or
processes.
Revolutionary Innovations (also called discontinuous or radical
innovations) which are often disruptive and new.
Inventions
Invention can be defined as the crude idea of a product. It is safe to say
Invention ids idea without design or imagination. It involves the proven
workability of a product in delivering the basic satisfaction of the function
of its services to the consumers. The idea only needs to be proven viable
and workable before going to be public.
Creativity or invention is the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into
reality. Creativity is characterised by the ability to perceive the world in
new ways, to find hidden patterns, to make connections between
seemingly unrelated phenomena, and to generate solutions (Naiman, L.,
2014)

At Heinz for example there is a working towards creating an innovation
culture that will in turn encourage the use of new ideas. Heinz initiate its
Invention programs that involves the establishment of objectives and a
continuous evaluation of the process. These includes
 The creation of at least two to five products, over nine-month
period, which were real innovations
 And also, the exposure of Heinz innovators to new processes and
start to make Heinz a more innovative culture itself.
Before 2002 that the programme was introduce it was decided then, that
by the year 2002 the following must have happened to the Heinz product;
 new, exciting products would represent 10% of Heinz's operational
income by the year 2002
 a working culture would be established which had the ability to
switch between measure and madness at the appropriate times
 Heinz would look physically different.
An old look A more recent look
In the case of Samsung Electronics (SE), now the largest electronic firm in
the world from a former emerging economy, Innovative activities have
been the core strength of SE and are expected to continue creating value
for SE.

The Mission 2020 of Samsung (http://www.samsung.com) states that it
will;
“inspire the world, create the world” through creative and innovative
solutions. This implies that the firm intends to pursue innovation over time
beyond the development of commercial products for short-term returns.
For instance, the Curved LED TV by Samsung Electronics was the first of
its kind. It contributes towards creating a whole new market for the firm
and enhances its customer base.

Importance of Innovation and difference between Innovation and
Inventions
Importance of Innovation
Why Innovation Is Important?
Innovation plays a vital role in any business environment. It leads to the
discovery of opportunities and assist in penetrating the market at a much
faster rate and thus develop a better connection with consumers. The
essence of Innovation is to create a proactive company that takes
calculated risk in ideas investment to ensure that value is created
Below is the list of reasons why a business may need to initiate
innovation;
 A quick Response to Competition and Trends
 A Creative Development opportunity
 Improved continuity in development
7

 Reinforce company Brand
 Assist company with a unique Selling Point
According to (Tredgold, G., 2018) innovation is importance to an
organization because of the following;
It helps company to grow the business
New ideas, processes and strategies are often discovered which will in
turn help the company to stand out among competitors.
Values are created and added to products and this allow the company to
meet the consumers’ needs.
Investment in Innovation allow company to focus on attracting the best
talents in the industry and sector that will assist it in achieving its goals
and objectives.
Differences between Innovation and Inventions
Robert Edward (1988) propose that Innovation is the sum of both
invention and exploitation. The invention aspects according to him covers
all aspects of what is termed visualization and brainstorming this is to
allow the creation of new ideas and also processing them to reshape or
shape a product. Exploitation or Commercialization entails all process of
commercial development, applicability analysis and viability checks that
will allow the company to evaluate the market desirability and the
utilizations factors this will then lead to actual production of products and
the disbursement of same the feedback from sale will further be collected
and analysis for consistence upgrade.
Figure 2: Innovation concept according to Robert Edward (1988)
Bhasin, K., 2012) also discus the difference between Innovation and
Invention by defining Innovation as an "improves on or makes a
significant contribution" to something that has already been invented.
Steve Jobs was an innovator
Invention Invention is the "creation of a product or introduction of a
process for the first time." Thomas Edison was an inventor.

Samsung As a case study
Taking the case study of Samsung for example in respect to the field of t
innovation. As there are equal chances to create new product especially in
the globalize process of creation where companies are developing new
product and new invention are often easily copied. Innovation will create
all the difference in companies.
Samsung phones for examples still stood an impresive height as aresult of
innovations although several Android phones are loosing markets due to
the inventions and innovations of the Iphones never the less samsung is
still conisistently promoting Android technology because of it uniques
branded innovations.
Although Invention is all about developing working idea. An invention is
known as when an idea doesn’t need replicable. It is however Innovation
that add value for customers and sepreate a good product from a great
one.
For further expansion, Innovation in Samsung is entrench and divided into
areas of logical developemnt, according to the Samsung news room,
“At Samsung Strategy and Innovation Center, we drive global innovation
for Samsung in diverse fields such as artificial intelligence, digital health,
the Internet of Things, autonomous mobility, data center infrastructure,
security, privacy and more.”( Samsung News room)
In Digital Health

collaboration with ProGlove, Procensis and Ivanti Wavelink. The new
bundled solution is ideal for warehouse picking operations and
management and allows for a more safe and efficient environment for
them.
In AI Technology
Samsung recently demonstrate its Drine base Ai solution for 4G and 5G
network ootimization the New solution automatically measures antenna
rotation and tilt at the touch of a fingertip using a mobile device; improves
tower climber safety and efficiency in network maintenance.
Heinz as a case study
KFC as in recent years sees the need to invest in innovation and transform
to an innovative company. The food company suffered loss of conusmers
due to it laid back attitude to innovation and its promotion of only its
traditional menus. This prompt the managemnt of the comp3any in recent
year to appoint a new research manager to head the new research team
so as to drive innovation in the company. According to Miriam Ueberalla
the new R&D in KFC, she claims that the company is now fully invested in
the need for innovation centered manaegemnt rather than the cost cut
management previosuly.
The most recent and most successful innovation in KFC is the Kraft Heinz’s
big launch which is the Just Crack an Egg, which is a microwaveable egg
scramble in a cup which contains Ore – Ida potatatoes , Oscar Mayer
meat, Fresh vegetables and Kraft cheese ( it doesn’t contain an Egg
consumer use their own Eggs). The product is withnessing a huge
patronage form consumers.

McCadd, left, Milo Klos and Ellen Cook taste different versions of Just Crack an Egg breakfast
scrambles at the Kraft Heinz Innovation Center in Glenview on Feb. 26, 2019. (Zbigniew
Bzdak/Chicago Tribune)
The product its self is as a result of consumers survey that consumer love
eggs but often have to wait till weekends to prepare it because of the time
it usually takes to prepare it. Just Cr02ack an Egg aimed to solve a
breakfast problem highlighted by survey data: people want portable,
portion-controlled protein in the morning to help them feel sated and give
them energy to start their day.
P2 Explain how organizational vision, leadership, culture and
teamwork can shape innovation and commercialization.
The success of every organization lies in the promotion of innovative ideas
in their products and services. It thus so happens that there are several
factors that are involve in the influence of the creativity of employee or
workers and that of the company towards harnessing it. These factors
include the company’s culture, teamwork’s promotion, organization vision
and mission statement and also company leadership. These factors in
relation to both Samsung and Heinz is further illustrated in details below;
Organizational Culture and Team work
Scholars in the sturdy of Innovation and commercialization are generally
agreed that the two concepts will flourish if a company shows a
willingness to encourage its workers and employee through accessible
means of presenting ideas in the innovative environment development.
Often some of these means of encouragement can appear in form of
motivations, incentives, assistance, trainings and development, incentives
packages and other rewards.
A company expansive resources on research and development will
likewise proportionally relate to the amount of innovative ideas that might
likely spring up from the venture and the likewise commercialization
methodology. It therefore subscribes that the limited investment in this
regard will likewise forestall the development in the area as well.
A collaboration of culture and teamwork helps the firm to reinvent their
services for attracting more customers towards the firm. A sufficient
prove suggest that innovative ideas can often be fuel through individual
interaction with other team members, thus company have often made it
cultural to incorporate team building in their strategic plan.
Heinz for example created an innovation culture which encourages the
development of new ideas. New and different approaches are taken when
tackling issues and time is made available for thinking and experimenting.
Ideas and suggestions are welcomed from all directions, both internally
and externally. Understanding and meeting the needs of consumers is
central to this culture. They also identified barriers to innovations some of
those barriers were;
 a low prioritisation amongst senior management
11

 resistance to ideas. New ideas did not always work through the
system because the organisation had become hierarchical with a
top down approach. Over time, therefore, people suggested fewer
new ideas.
 fear of failure in the organisation. People were often reluctant to
take responsibility for new product
Also, the company founder Henry John (H.J) Heinz created a foundation for
company success by instilling values of team building, collaboration,
innovation, vision, results-based operations, and integrity in his
employees. By following his mission statement, “To do a common thing
uncommonly well brings success,”
Samsung as a case study is quite unique their approach in enhancing
creativity in employee is a bit different. They showcase their culture for
innovation through the creation of Culture that plays a vital role in
innovation. It is very important that creative practices get recognition and
encouragement in a company. The firm created a lab called Samsung C-
Lab (short for Creative), in which the company give employee access to
tools that allow them work on their own business idea Such practices
encourage their creativity which contributes to the company’s success.
Samsung as also culturally institute team work in its innovative strategies
Samsung set up a group of thirty business men in 2010 called CNB
( create New Business) they are responsible for discovering technological
and socio long term inventions and imagine or reimagine new products
that will achieve consumers demands. According to (Yian 2005) Samsung
as reaped tremendously from its team-working and strong commitment to
innovation].
Leadership impact
This play a vital role in promoting innovation and commercialization also
in the organization. Leadership is essential in creating opportunities for
team members that will assist in boosting what is term innovation and
also creativity through ensuring a constructive environment for team
members (Shealley and Gilson 2004) discuss that this is often achieve
through motivation and rewarding them after accomplishment. Leaders
also position companies to be innovative through allocation of resources,
funds management, and also management of knowledge, time and
facilities.
Samsung leadership for example is responsible for the creation of
company innovative culture through several allocation of funds in the area
of creativity and promotion. It is the responsibility of the leaders and
mangers to push their individual team members to achieve innovation in
line with the company culture on it.
In 2001, President of Booz Allen and Hamilton Korea stated that Korean
firms need to pursue breakthrough innovations to adapt to new market
environments (Hauwang 2001)
12

Samsung invited W. Kim, the main author of BOS (Blue Ocean Strategy) at
the start of the company innovative culture, to train its executives. In
recognition of the importance of leadership in driving innovation Senior
executives have encouraged the dissemination of value innovation at SE
based on the BOS approach . SE strives to create value which its
customers never even expected through value innovation for new
products. SE’s value innovation includes value management and value
creation. (Song D 2004)
In Heinz also the leadership of the company strategically created what is
called Heinz innovation fresh ideas folders which is created to provide a
central collection of ideas with the organization among individuals or
teams. Leaders and managers are charge with encouraging employee and
team members to contribute to this folder. The worthy contributions are
further place on ‘Step development” which is then monitored to ensure
that consumers are satisfied. These major new ideas are position to drive
the organization further.
Organizational vision
This is a fundamental driving force that is viable in boosting innovation
and also commercialization is the company vision. Every company has its
vision which describes that which product is need to innovated and also
the process to achieve commercialization of products. Company’s vision
decides often the exponential growth of and innovations tendency of the
company.
Kraft Heinz in July 2015, after a major merger restate a new vision focused
on lunching a vision for the future: which is:
To be the best food company, growing a better world. With that vision
came five new corporate values: “consumer first, innovation, integrity,
ownership and quality.”
The company in line with the vision went ahead to launch a long-term
strategy that will communicate these values to the entire department,
unit and sections of the company.
Melissa Werneck, SVP, global HR, performance and IT at Kraft Heinz.
Affirm the essential of Keinz vision when she posted that “In order to
enable successful and lasting change, a company has to know what it
stands for, and it’s essential that employees view the company’s vision as
their own,”
Ms. Werneck in an online publication finally says about the post-merger
and the company new vision that, Kraft Heinz is prioritizing fewer, bigger
and bolder bets.
In other to drive those bets one of the actions of the company is the
launching of Springboard, an incubator and accelerator for emerging food
brands and products. And in May, Kraft Heinz opened a €90 million
innovation center in Amsterdam that will seek new methods for growth.
13

Samsung Electronics corporate vision is to “Inspire the world with our
innovative technologies, products and design that enrich people’s
lives and contribute to social prosperity by creating a new
future.” The company ensure compliance with the vision statement to
achieve and maintain a profitable technological business at all. Innovation
is the way toward making (something) new or accomplishing something in
another way. In business, advancement likewise needs to incorporate the
idea of progress; to enhance in business isn't simply to accomplish
something in an unexpected way, yet to do or make something better.
Samsung habitually alludes to an abbreviated form of this corporate
vision: "Vision 2020: Inspire the World, Create the Future." The
organization broadly actualizes this announcement all through its
auxiliaries' tasks in the customer hardware, figuring innovation, and
semiconductors ventures. The accompanying segments are contained in
Samsung's vision explanation:
1. Global motivation
2. Innovation
3. Improvement of lives and future social thriving
Samsung’s corporate vision also pushes for a high degree of innovation.
Technological innovation is especially notable in the company’s products,
such as smartphones and laptops.
M1 Analyse different sources of innovation, and how
organisations can foster and develop an environment
and culture of innovation.
Sources of Innovation
(Peter Drucker 1999) the article “the Discipline of Innovation” suggested
the seven sources of innovation. He proposes that companies can develop
and achieve successful innovative ideas if they consciously sei45earch for
and dedicate allocated and allotted resources and skills to the sector.
According to him most innovation that achieve success often emerge from
a purposeful, consistent and conscious search for opportunity and
innovations.
The seven sources of innovation highlighted by duncker will be use to
discuss innovation in the report. Those seven sources are so discussed
below;
Unexpected Occurrence
14

This often means report or feedback derived from consumers after a new
product have been launched or even a review of existing product. It refers
to the unexpected failures or success, or unexpected outside
circumstances which is a result of services or product in compares with
the actual expected results of the company. After the startling outcomes,
the administration at that point improves the current item so as to shape
it as per the market necessities.
For example, Ford Edsel was one the ford company biggest new car failure
in history of the automotive. The product itself according to history was
one of ford most carefully planned product. Despite the time, money and
resources expanded on the product it was a total flaw at the point of sale.
The company however quickly realise a lesson form the feedback of the
sales failure that there is a new consciousness in the automotive market.
Consumer are consciously shifting grounds from the income groups to
lifestyle meaning consumer no longer patronise cars base on what they
could avoid but rather base on the lifestyle they are promoting. The
company with the knowledge went ahead to design the mustang car
which was an instant success and re-establish the company in the fore
front.
Incongruities
There are also the incongruities between expected result and actual
circumstances this open haven can serve as viable open to recognize
innovation and create a change. Often company can achieve competitive
advantage by pin pointing these gaps and finding the missing link as
solution to bring the disparity to a conclusion. Indeed, an incongruity
between expectations and results can also open up possibilities for
innovation. One popular example of these is the shipping industry where
for more than 50 years shipbuilders and shipping companies run races to
build ships that are faster and consumes less fuel. Yet as their success in
the regard increases the economy of the industry became quite worse. In
fact, there was begin a total decline in ocean freighter by 1950. All that
was wrong, however, was an incongruity between the industry’s
assumptions and its realities. Managers soon realise that the disparity is
actually in the cost that is incur by companies while ships sit idle in port
than the assumptions that the cost mostly come from doing the actual
work being at sea. To remedy the situation innovation was used to create
the roll – on and roll – off ship and the container ship.
Process Need
This entails the innovation in a product processes to achieve faster
production or process or other advantage that can be utilize in creation
processes. Procedure enhancements can open up new chances. For
instance, in the printing press Linotype invention offers an excellent
opportunity to produce newspaper in large quantity there by ensuring
more produce to disburse while the innovation in socio advertising helped
in creating extra payment for newspaper and allow even easier
15

disbursement with the reduce cost of newspaper or even no cost at all yet
the profit is sustained.
Market or Industry Changes
Rapid growth in an industry often lead to quick changes that can create
opportunity for innovators in the industry to surge ahead. Often more
establish company in such industry often tend to hold their ground and
not compete with new comers this will create an open door that the new
comers can often use to create an impact and have a market share. Since
new opportunities that is likely to emerge is unlike to fit the normal way
industry has often perceived and approach markets. Innovators therefore
have the chance of been left alone in this regard. For instance, there has
been wide concept on Health base diets in recent times as regards junk
foods, thus company like Kentucky fried chicken, Mc Donald and other fast
food outlets are witness consumers conscious healthy food rethink and
are consistently been criticise for passing on unhealthy food. McDonald's
reconsidered its system by advancing more advantageous nourishments
in its menu so as to adapt up to corpulence factor and the health
awareness of consumers. KFC itself strategically include vegs in its menu
to appeal to consumers interested in such.
Changes in Demographics
Demographic changes in age, population, education, segmentation, and
geographical location also are source of innovation. These factors often
prompt managers and leaders to restructure or design product in
responses to the changes so as to achieve consistency or even set eye on
a takeover. For example the Japanese in 1970 were able to utilize the
demographic in education due to the observance by most developed
countries that there was a baby burst and an education explosion in which
more than half of young people were staying school pass high school it
thus means that there will be a decrease in numbers of people that will be
available in manufacturing traditional blue collar work which is observed
to become noticeably decrease by 1990. Japanese reasonable took the
innovation to invest in robotics earlier and are now comfortably siting in a
clear 10 years ahead in the sector compare to other countries
Changes in Perception
The open observation ought to be profoundly analyzed which can make
new open doors for advancement. Usually changes in trends offer
innovative opportunity as preferences, and buying behaviors changes.
These changes are not controllable in most sectors thus managers and
leaders can only respond to the trends by quickly adapting strategies that
will utilize the changes, in the illustrated half full half empty glass cup
example public perception are key features and sources of innovation. In
America the rising conscious of health concern despite research showing
that Americans health as improved compare yet there is continuous rising
case in business in the sector fast food, fitness centers are reaping gains
through innovative products.
16

New Knowledge
Most innovation worthy of note steam from this source. New knowledge
could be from socio, technical or scientific angle they however offer
innovation chances in diverse ways. The breakthrough in this knowledge
is often slow to become commercialization. Usually researchers are of the
opinion that a clear 5o years often stood in between breakthrough in a
knowledge to market acceptance and public commercialization readiness
to utilize the product. Thus, companies often have a long waiting trial
before cashing out on such new knowledge. It however offers a huge profit
of monopoly for such company when commercialization commences and
such innovative company would have achieved a huge gap in competitive
advantage before others ultimately follows. Teleportation is an example of
a new and recent knowledge, as scientist have start to achieve
teleportation of small objects of photon and the possibility that someday
large object can as well be teleported to long distance.
Fostering and developing an environment and culture of
Innovation.
Creativity also term innovation is one of the torchlights for development
and success of the business. Essentially there is discovered a connection
between innovation and the engagement. It is often the case that most
executive of companies’ value innovation and often allow their employee
freedom and reward innovative employee with more engagement at work.
In truth engaging employee often encourage creativity and a more
willingness to accept innovative ideas.
Clear objective setting
Objectives must be sufficiently clear to adjust colleagues, and furthermore
free enough that colleagues have self-governance in how to arrive at
those objectives. It's that self-governance, and the capacity it takes into
account joining thoughts and getting new points of view, that permits
genuine innovativeness to occur.
Assignment considering Employee interest and Positively
challenging
Right when people consider them to be as huge, they will moreover
consider it to be prodding. Awakened partners are continuously resolute
and give more analysis to the structure, adding to progression. So, what
makes work huge? One way is to guarantee it's a strong counterpart for
the individual.
The key organization task is to consolidate the work that ought to be done
with people who have both the aptitude and the eagerness to do it.
Exactly when we make that charm facilitate, we have a predominant
17

chance of seeing headway in light of the fact that the work is
progressively critical to the individual.
Clear and Open communication Channel
The third practice for creating a culture of innovation is making open
communication channel that encourage exchange, coordination, and joint
effort of idea. This is particularly significant for business pioneers who
were prepared in a "business-as-science" model (Barry and Meisiek, 2014)
that includes formal procedure and investigation instead of hands-on
critical thinking. Drawing impact from bunches like IDEO, numerous
business colleges and partnerships have made plan labs, where business
leaders or pioneers can encounter development and critical thinking with
the help of theater, visual expressions, music and move, and even
gastronomic expressions. These material conditions construct coordinated
effort and open new channels of correspondence and inventiveness.
Even in cases and organization where there is no opportunity to make use
of Innovation lab the open significant path is through creating solid
Employee connections. Top notch connections and the subsequent mental
security take into account more prominent learning in companies, and add
to innovation (Carmelli, Brueller, and Dutton, 2008).
Frequent, accessible and constructive feedback
Innovation hardly occurs in an Eureka! second. Rather, it originates from a
progression of little perceptions, recombination of thoughts, and smaller
than usual analyses that give us quick result, permitting us to adjust. This
procedure of criticism and adjustment is one of four stages: Design, Build,
Run, Analyze (Thomke, 2003). Then repeated once again. In enormous
project, the cycle can happen a huge number of times.
Equitable and liberal prizes and acknowledgment
Company frameworks must help your objectives. This implies in the event
that the company want an innovation culture. The company should
compensate and recognize creative conduct, including hazard taking, in
any event, when the outcomes aren't quickly positive.
This may incorporate giving representatives extra and free time on ideal
opportunity for purposeful ventures, offering promotions and salary raise
to the individuals who contribute imaginative thoughts, or verbally
praising innovative endeavors during a group meeting.
In one model, Tucker and Edmonson (2003) found that nurses lost a
normal of 33 minutes for each move to superfluous work because of
preventable disappointments. A couple of straightforward changes could
18

have tackled the issues, yet the nurses were so squeezed for efficiency,
they lacked the capacity to deal with development.
Absence of pointless administration process
Administration process smothers innovation in two distinct ways. It makes
long leeway events and institutional beat that moderate improvement
down to the point of insignificance, and it demotivates innovators by
placing blockades in their way. Phenomenal pioneers of advancement
believe it to be their business to shed organization and enable reliable and
quick experimentation.
Supportive cooperation
The last factor for cultivating development is strong coordinated effort
across groups, units, and divisions. Specialists found that when
organizations in an association were progressively collective, it prompted
more noteworthy innovation. It thus follows that leaders in companies
must ensure that all sections of the company align with the company
vision as regard innovation, and must essentially draw a cooperative
innovative culture across board that will ensure a smooth transition of
innovation.
Sources of Innovation in Samsung and Heinz
Samsung
Consumer Needs
SE make use of different Innovation exercises to consistently test
consumers needs and wants For example, SE grew new items like Rambus
DRAM and Nand streak memory instead of expanding the aggregation
pace of semiconductors. Since these new items mirror the necessities of
clients, including PC or cell phone makers, the development acquired a lot
of benefit the present moment. Given the shocking outcomes that SE has
achieved, its procedure of harvesting innovation has drawn a lot of
consideration.
Internal Source through Team nature and individual Staff
SE has kept executing creative exercises consistently. The Value
Innovation Program (VIP) Center, arrangement in 1998, has assumed a
key job in creating imaginative new items at SE. This Center has appeared
to sustain inventiveness and expand the thoughts of R&D staff. As the
main scientist at SE expressed, the presentation of significant worth
development techniques has added to the making of numerous new
inventions. Through this framework, all members were relied upon to beat
the snare of past progress condition, prompting what is conceivable.
19

Creation of Innovation culture through Strategies
Blue Ocean Strategy (BOS) has been the foundation of the gathering
development process at SE. SE welcomed W. Kim, the primary creator of
BOS, to prepare its administrators. Senior administrators have supported
the dispersal of significant worth development at SE dependent on the
BOS approach. SE endeavors to make esteem which its clients never at
any point expected through worth advancement for new items. SE's worth
development incorporates value management and creation. While the
previous spotlights on cost decrease and effectiveness improvement, the
last expects to produce included worth. Consequently, the firm scans for
innovative thoughts as opposed to executing customary constant
improvement type programs.
For example, a study of 226 Japanese representatives set off the creation
of a PC that functions admirably even in an awful remote condition. These
sorts of strategies have helped SE make new items effectively by
reflecting inborn needs and prerequisites of individual and business
clients.
Heinz
Internal sources through Employee
KFC create a hub of innovation especially in its kitchen. There are teams
all over the regions, state and country of location. Who are given liberty of
experimenting with local content materials to provide divergent menus for
its local customers. There is no hindrance in the encouragement of its
employee to try innovation in its food preparation. Its “break and Fry”
egg. Was as a result of internal effort of its team members through
thorough research into the needs of the consumers
External Sources through its consumers
KFC also subscribe consumers into their innovative endeavor by
encouraging consumers to put in their preference. KFC take the process a
step further recently by starting “A crowdfunding Campaign” which
specifically focus on bringing consumers into it marketing strategies and
plan. Some of the ideas it is recently using in its marketing stem from this
effort. Ideas like;
 Kentucky Fried Hot Tub: Introducing a revolution in hot tub
technology – a hot tub that looks like a KFC bucket. This giant
bucket features wood-fired thermosyphoning heating technology,
the capacity for five fried chicken-loving people, and a full 360
degrees of Kentucky Fried Chicken branding.
 Colonel on Ice: For years people have been inspired by the story of
how Colonel Harland Sanders went from a sixth grade drop out to
the founder of a fried chicken empire. So, KFC will tell the story in a
way that has captivated the world – by spinning around on ice.
 Little Colonel Locator: The newest innovation in Colonel-approved
fashion, the Little Colonel Locator combines fashionable neckwear
20

with the latest in location-tracking technology. The world's first
location-tracking necktie will help you find anyone or anything that's
wearing this tie – as long as they're within 100 feet of your
smartphone.
P3 Explain the 4Ps of innovation and explain the use of the
innovation funnel to examine and shape innovative ideas.
Endrik et al (2017) argued that applying the 4ps of innovation can be used
as a model of analysing and evaluating the general impact as lead by
innovations in an organization. In result innovation is often applicable to
all sections of the organization and almost anything can be innovated. The
4ps of innovation covers the Product, process, position and paradigm
these facets are the major stretch on which a business objectives and aim
are often dependent.
Product
The organization product is the direct item that is offered by company to
satisfy the market yearn, demands and wants. Most times the company
forecast on sales is often a result of the type of services and products
been offered. Because product is the ultimate point of first contact
between company and consumers and also the first impression, company
are responsible of ensuring that the product is carefully and responsibly
designed to ensure value. Money, time and resources can be saved if the
company take great time to ensure that products or services is tailored to
the target market and also offer value. It does means that it is not enough
to just produce or to render such service. It is also important for company
to ensure that the product is design in such a way that the target market
is easily attracted. It thus follows that company need to ask certain
question while in bid to produce or design a product.
Such questions are as following;
21

Who the target consumers are? what is the expectation of the consumers
for buying products? what is the product selling point? and what is the
company strategy about getting product across markets?
According to (Kotler & Armstrong 2012) by answering those questions
organization are better acquainted with actions that are necessary to
have a better product design and also the company get familiar with
market target.
Product innovation in Samsung
Samsung creates a Product Innovation Team called PIT in 2006n with the
specific goal of creation of new product and inclusion of features in
product that will attach to a consumer’s heart. Four concepts are followed
in other to develop the product these are.
Understand
PIT conducts field research, and collects data, ideas and information to
gain insight into the user’s perspective. The team also studies the market
and stays current with who and what is making the most noise.
Ideate
The team then brainstorm on various of the collected data to determine
what to implement and also strategy of implementation. Sorting out the
ones that will follow the Samsung culture and vision.
Concept Development
All collected and ideated information will be designed into a strong
business case for the business unit to implement
Concept Finalization
At the final stage, PIT works with the business units to finalize product
concepts based on market and consumer requirements.
Some of the Innovation in product by the PIT team include;
 In 2014, Samsung Introduced a smart watch “Gear S”, with super
AMOLED display, Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity (Spence 2014).
 In 2015, Samsung introduced brand new tap-to-pay system as
“Samsung Pay” (Olson 2015)
Process
Process – What is a process? Process is a systematic strategy of how a
company creates value or products. in essence the creation of a product
or even the changes adapted by the product in essence the culture of
carrying out activities in the company. (Veza 2003) explains that it is
essential for organization to determine how to innovate in the creation of
products through finding new ways or means of processing better perhaps
22

through a faster more efficient a better product with improved quality or
even cheaper. T
Ordinarily, while making inventive inside procedures, organizations do it
for higher gainfulness. Procedure advancement can be likewise for
usability for the client.
Position
This refers to the targeted market segment. Which target market or the
specific demography or geographic the product aim to penetrate, attract
or convert. Innovation in position allows the company enter into a new
market with a product never imagined before it is a way of finding out the
who or where a product may be needed and essentially finding a creative
way or innovative way of breaking into that market with a peculiar distinct
product strong enough to attract attention.
Samsung Example
There is believe in the creation of a certain future through the inspiration
of the world. Samsung commitment to achieving the exploration of differs
and new business opportunity and dimension is therefore unparallel, there
exploration in new business areas like Medicine, Health and
biotechnology. Samsung aim to achieve success in Position innovation its
three strategic approaches in management; Partnership, Talent and
creativity.
Paradigm
This encompasses changes to how, why and where a product is used or
essentially the process of getting things done. It essentially consists of
beliefs, values, doctrines. In innovation within a company, paradigms are
business models which are the tools for understanding how everything
works in relation with each other.
Samsung Example
Samsung Electronics has shifted the Air conditioning paradigm by
introducing its new 360 Cassette air conditioning unit, DVM Chillers, next
generation DVM S 30HP, the DVM S Eco 14HP. These innovations will
transform the High Voltage Air Conditioning (HVAC) Engineering will
transform the AC industry in terms of energy efficiency, performance and
increased cooling speed (Samsung 1995-2016f).
Innovation Funnel
This is a mechanism that allows ideas to be constantly and consistently
stream for their viability and accessibility. The term is also referred to as
funnel management process it essentially assists companies to create
realistic and innovative cause of action. Essentially the basic of the term is
to generate as possible many ideas, a large pool of these ideas will then
be refined to a concrete plan. The process create funnel like shape,
23

streamline from lot of ideas into a focus few portions of ideas. Thus, the
best ideas are then continued to remain in the focus or tunnel. It allows
the prioritization of ideas whereby the best ideas are given the attention
to develop into innovative products.
Criteria in the Innovation Funnel Process
The process demands that individual ideas are carefully and consistently
screened and compare with criteria, rules and several filters. Mostly both
new and existing product are consistently process through this means to
ensure that the product is appraise and scrutinize for adequate and
consisted functionality to meet changing time environment of the market
and other necessary effect in the business. Employee working on
Innovation process funnel must draw up criterial to look at the feasibility
and schedule time plan of the innovation. Criteria to judge such innovation
plan or idea may include, to what extent does the idea meet the
consumers wishes and expectations, does the plan actually fit with
company strategy or objectives, and lastly what is the risky gauge of the
idea. Three criteria must be plan and adjusted in response to the product
Developing Innovation Funnel
The steps below can be used to start using the Innovation Funnel actively.
The funnel is used to describe the steps in developing a process or
product. The goal is to create processes or products that meet market
needs and that can be produced in an economically profitable way.

Steps of developing innovation tunnel.
1. The Mouth of the Funnel
This is the first step or phase and the action taken here or the general
objectives of this phase is ideas gathering. In other words, as many ideas
as possible are gathered in this section. Organization use the phase to
expand the knowledge and the pool of information available to it. More
ideas are exploited by the company and a number of solutions are
realised in this segment. Usually the more ideas discovered in this phase
of the process the more solutions available or explored and the better the
24

refinement of these solution will be. In recent time to gather information
as become vital and quite easier. Often information can be acquired about
competitors, institutes, partners, consumers, universities researches and
publications. Gathering information is vital and relatively easy.
Information can be found at competitors, partners or institutes, in studies,
and at university publications.
 To succeed in this phase of the process the company must do the
following;
 Must possess a clear perspective on the objectives of the process
before embarking on it.
 Company must realise the possibility of the possess and must be
truthful to its readiness to see the process actualise and achieve
desired result.
 The ideas must be allowed to stream from both the internal and
external environment of the company.
 Also, the large bulk of ideas must be consistently monitored and
studied to ensure there is linkage with idea and the overall
objectives of the process.
2. Narrowing the Funnel
The process phase involves the screening of the ideas that the company
has developed overtime in the first phase. Here the ideas ae matched with
the goal to see if the desire result is been achieved or to check if the idea
as indeed added any value. There is then proceed evaluation of the yield
which is the cost benefit analysis and also the risk which is the matrix in
other for company to decide the ideas that pass the testing and which can
be selected. Usually services and product testing with consumers is
usually started in this stage or phase.
After the selection of good ideas and establishing it the allocation of
resources to the most promising of these ideas must be cautiously done.
Thus, a careful consideration of the yields is important to ensure that the
right and appropriate idea is backed and that it is the such that will
position the company positively.
3. Narrowed Part of the Funnel
This is the final phase of the tunnel, the firm guarantees that the picked
thoughts are in turn made to conform with the company objectives that
were drafted as the process started. Also, the review and evaluation of the
test phase result are done here and depending on the outcome the
product may or may not be realised into the markets. A lot of product
may spend time in this phase as ideas are restructured, strategies
redrafted in response to the feedback in the testing stage.
One of the downsides of the funnel innovation is that often ideas of
creative or radical nature may be deleted earl on, especially if they fail to
meet with the draft model. the process is often more adapt to allowing
safe ideas rather than creative ones and company may lose a lot of
creative and good ideas in the process of utilizing the process.
25

Innovation funnel Process Used in Samsung
Samsung Innovation process was developed under the umbrella of a New
Concept Development (NCD) process that could be executed during the
innovation of a new products and services. When a new innovation group
called PIT is inaugurated, they in turn follow the below NCD innovation
funnel processes to bring the innovative ideology to limelight.
Opportunity Assessment: The firm inspects the market needs through
online overviews which choose the customer wants from the association
and their needs. This transforms into an open entryway for the firm to
introduce another commitment in the market.
Experiences based ideation: After the distinguishing proof of the most
suitable chance, the subsequent stage considers ideation of various
contributions that could be offered to the market to fulfill their necessities
Conceptualization: This stage embraces the planning of genuine ideas
dependent on the most adept thoughts got from the ideation stage.
Assessment and Benchmarking: These various ideas are tried in the
market and the fulfillment levels of the clients are then assessed.
Go/No Go: After nitty gritty assessment, the idea which got most extreme
positive reaction from the clients is chosen in this stage.
Launch: Finally, the item or administration is propelled in the market.
P4 Explain developments in frugal innovation and provide
examples of how it is used in an organisational context
Frugal innovation
Frugal innovation is also called Frugal Engineering. It is essentially a
process that assist the company to cut down on cost both manufacturing
and production process cost are reduced to minimal. It usually achieves
this through simplification of production process. This is done despite this
and quality of product is often retained even at lower production of the
product.
Frugal Innovation is a concept that urges businesses to respond to
limitations in resources; whether financial, material or institutional, and
turn these constraints into innovative ideas and practical solutions.
For example: A product or service that results from Frugal Innovation
principles should be priced at a 50-70% lower cost than the current
alternative and should have at least 70-80% of the functionality, while not
compromising on quality.
“Because the low-income setting often involves institutional and resource
constraints –such as limited capital resources, lack of basic provisions,
weak infrastructure or poor governance –innovation has to follow a path
26

different from the capital-intensive and research and development led
process common in Western markets” (Kaplinsky, 2011; Bhatti, 2012).
Image credited to open-ecosystem.org
The creation of frugal innovations can be achieved through the utilization
of the above drawn processes like Maker movement, open innovation,
circular and sharing economies and inclusive business. In actuality to reap
benefits from the Frugal innovations company has to emphasis a good
and also quality product that is affordable as well as accessible created
with the following;
A new way of design and development of product
 A macro level system thinking
 A design thinking at the service/product level
 Business innovative models with the intent of making accessible
solutions
 Leverage on modern technologies to deliver low cost solution
Samsung electronics management as a case sturdy make use of frugal
process so as to reduce the unnecessary cost from production cost, and
design cost, simplification of manufacturing procedures, enhancement of
product development, adding only the required features and ignoring the
less needed ones and consequently reducing the overall capital incur in
production.
For example, using the Samsung operation in the India market as a case
study. Samsung was able to utilize the use of Frugal Innovations through
these mediums;
Firstly, the use of local innovation: Samsung as a well-funded and
resourced R&D team that is able to research and develop several products
that added more value to themselves rather than more features. This new
product considers the environment to create a valued added attribute to
the product rather than blindly loading the product with unneeded or
unrealistic features that is not adaptable to the local environment. For
example, the Samsung Rex that has a flash light, high quality speaker and
also a triple sim card despite its other many features of an advanced
27

smart phones. The phone was design for the India markets and has been
adapted to other emerging markets.
Secondly, Samsung recognise that India has a close to 500,000 villages
which lacks conventional distributing channels to achieve fast and
efficient distribution. The company collaborated with networks of retailers
utilizing a back-office supply chain management system which allows it
track inventory and sales on one network and almost immediately.
Samsung also conducted its own analyst reports about market trends and
competition as this is lacking in the India markets.
M2 Analyse and apply the innovation funnel in an organisational
context.
Innovation Funnel
The purpose of anything or strategy innovation funnel is to take an idea
from thought to reality by joining to a specific thing that can meet a
market need in a productive, manufacturable structure.
The overall improvement process starts with a wide extent of wellsprings
of information and bit by bit refines and looks over among them, making a
lot of formal advancement stretches out that can be pushed to fast
completion and introduction. This idea can be appeared as a uniting
funnel.
In its most effortless structure, the development pipes a reasonable
structure to thinking about the age and screening of elective improvement
decisions, and joining a subset of these into a thing thought. A wide scope
of thing and method thoughts enter the channel for assessment, yet only
a division become some part of a certain development adventure.
Managing the advancement channel incorporates three entirely
unexpected tasks or challenges. The first is to amplify the mouth of the
channel - the affiliation must develop its data base and access to
information in order to grow the amount of new thing and new strategy
thoughts. The resulting test is to restrict the funnel neck - contemplations
created must be screened and resources focused on the most appealing
possibilities.
The goal isn't just to apply compelled advantages for picked adventures
with the most important foreseen result, yet to make a course of action of
exercises that will meet the business goals of the firm while improving the
organization's fundamental ability to finish future errands. The third test is
to ensure that the picked adventures pass on the goals anticipated when
the endeavor was supported.
Measures in the Innovation Funnel Management Process
The Innovation Funnel Management Process requests that every thought
is cautiously and continually screened and contrasted with a few
standards, models, and channels. Here, it's significant that the Innovation
28

Funnel Management Process isn't constrained to producing new
advancements or procedures, yet additionally that there are progressing
ventures that must continually be investigated by methods for the
recently settled models to guarantee that they work ideally.
The representatives or the group must draw up models in regards to
possibility and the time calendar of the advancement plan. Instances of
rules include:
How much does the thought meet the client's thoughts and wishes?
Does the thought fit inside the technique or the key destinations (SMART)?
How much is the thought hazardous?
The standards must be balanced relying upon the sort of thought or
proposition.
The use of Innovation Funnel in Samsung process
The aim of a company is to ensure the production of its product that will
satisfy the want and need of its targeted consumers. Doing this will
ensure the continuous flow of profits from consumers. The development of
funnel process is done in Samsung through the highlight the three stages
of funnel process. The first stage is termed investigation, the second stage
is development and the third and final stage is shipping. A production
company like Samsung can make use of these three processes to
transport their product and services.
Samsung internalized these three stages, into four stages for its specific
adaptation these four stages are, understand, ideate, development and
finalization.

29

Investigation: Before enter a market with a product Samsung need to
check out the competitors, through detail analysis of the companies. The
research will cover the consumer feedbacks on competitor’s product, the
channel of distribution of products, available materials in the country. For
developing countries there is also need to get feedbacks on markets
channels. Essentially it involves understanding the trends in the market
world of manufacturing companies in Electronics. Samsung company have
to conduct field research personally which is mostly more effective than
paying or outsourcing to external research teams. The teams must collect
data, ideas, information to achieve an insight into the expectation and
perspective of the consumers.
After research comes the analysis of generated ideas base on the market
survey and research. This involve the team brainstorming of these ideas’
tens and hundreds of them that are may provide essential innovation or
solution to the task in question.
Development:
After the first stage of analysis, generation and survey the nest steps step
will be actual development of the realistic solution, product from the large
pool concept of the first stage. Here the result of the brainstorming would
have materialized. Essentially this stage covers the compilation of all
information in the first stage and using wealth of information to develop,
refine and build a solid defining concept. Which the company utilize to
develop a solid business case that will materialize to a marketable
product. It is important that product must be made to reflect the market
demand. The product features and also design must be reflective of the
target market demand
Shipping Products:
This final stage covers the delivery of the new product to the market. It
essentially involves the conceptualization of the product. Here the
thinking team are to work with the business department to strategies of
how to best deliver the products. The distributing channel to use is of
course dependent on the market and the target. Essentially it is important
that the channel is of the type where feedback will be much more
accessible and prompts and where tracking of inventory will be done quite
easily and promptly.
The shipment of product must does be monitored to have accessible
feedback.
M3 Appraise the role of frugal innovation in an organizational
context.
In understanding the role that Frugal play in the context of an
organization one must need ask why is frugal innovation needed, in
essence what vacuum necessitate the need for the concept.
30

NESTA a UK innovation organization gave an overview of the role frugal
play in a company setting according to the organization some of those
roles include;
There is a Lacklustre growth which will lead to cost reduction and dept of
many companies in the innovation of frugal process as there will be an
increase in the demands for the frugal product and services which will in
return increase the profit rate and income indexes of the company.
There is also concern on environmental issues, thus many manufacturing
and production companies are consistently under attack by
environmentalist as a result of environmental degradation. What is more
is that raw materials are increasingly becoming scarce. This concern
allows frugal innovation to become essential as less materials are involved
in production of products and thus less environmental concern. Thus, the
environmental constraints surrounding energy, climate, water and other
resources are increasing leading to the demand of more consumption of
frugal products.
Frugal innovation also allows company to penetrate into developing
markets and emerging economies where the cost for products reduce and
made available and avoidable to poor consumers. These economies
remain the greatest demand markets for the frugal products and the usual
vast numbers or population of this economies translate to more income
for the organization, and a lead role in business front in these countries
for the company.
Samsung company as a case study
In the case of the electronic giants Samsung, Frugal Innovation allow
Samsung unparallel access to developed and developing economies for
several reasons. The company adopt frugal in other to sell its products at
a low price. Which means people living in poverty can also become a
consumer of the product.
According to Samsung official about frugal innovation in India market said
“Unlike Apple, Samsung offers smartphones in all segments to suit every
consumer -- from the top-end Galaxy S series to the mid-range and low-
end A and J series,"
This frugal innovation was a huge success in India as the Korean giants is
sits atop the leader board of the share of market in the country as its
phone the mid – range Galaxy j phones is on high demand in India.
Frugal innovation also allows Samsung to respond to low growth in
recessionary context. As a necessity to cut the company R&D expenditure
and also manufacturing and production cost. Also, Samsung was able to
develop low technological products which provides solution for the low
and medium markets with specific environmental consideration. And this
further help to drive sale. For example, Samsung recognise the typical
India and other emerging communities need, the inconsistent electricity
means that that the company need to equip the phone with touch lights
feature, Speaker phones to cater for the loud street and families of some
31

of these countries, multiple sim to accommodate the several network sim
cards possess because of prevailing network issues.
The challenges are also there even though the trends clearly suggest the
upward demand for frugal products. Customers mostly in developed
countries are often reluctant to use these products because of the
perceived negative image often associated with buying an affordable
product.
There are more rooms for the development of frugal innovation and more
roles to fill. For Samsung the frugal innovation is mostly strengthened in
its phones production other. These concepts should be radically adapted
to the other products like its Television, Fridge and other appliances. This
will further make the company an innovative hub of assessment for all
economies be it developed or developing.
Importance of Frugal Innovations.
In Developing economies with lacking financial development, frugal
innovation is expanding interest for economical items and administrations
and parsimonious advancement forms. As new innovation stages
definitely decrease the expense of certain types of advancement, new
opportunity for economical trailblazers are opening.
Frugal Innovations can produce extra social and natural advantages and
help to handle regular difficulties, from conveying great open
administrations in states of somberness and developing interest, to
advancing social and monetary consideration and ecological
manageability.
Business visionaries and organizations can offer thrifty items and
administrations in a insightful way to make financial, social and natural
worth.
Firms can utilize frugal Innovation to decrease their utilization of scant
regular assets by structuring, making and selling items and
administrations with a lower ecological effect and through progressively
maintainable business items, administrations and practices.
Creating local work as local producers and merchants develop. Local work
can likewise be encourage through the thrifty developments of outside
organizations.
D1 Critically analyse how innovation is developed, embedded and
measured in an organisational context.
This report will critically look at how innovation is been embedded in
Samsung company through the detail analysis of the process;
32

Samsung as a case study
Looking at Samsung innovative process. The company for example as
successfully transformed from what it’s so calls low – quality manufacturer
to a brand widely accepted with admirable and also stylish electronics in
several developing economies.
Samsung company take a u turn in 1990 from the tradition way of doing
things to a more innovative way this helps it to increase revenue and
influence tremendously. Its imbedded innovation into its structure
through the following tactics.
Developed
By reconfiguring and adopting a team working practice in order to reduce
delay and also ensure response and support for the innovation. Samsung
company delegated decision to innovation teams with a minimal influence
from the management team to discourage issues related to red tape.
Usually in this system of structure the approval of the management team
is only needed at the points of checkpoints or the innovation processes
gates.
For example, in previous traditional structure in 1989, Samsung has more
than 3 – 7 procedures or steps before project approval often these take at
least 24 days for such proposal to go through all the approve stages. By
1995 after the propose innovation team. Approval needed a maximum of
just three approval all decided in one day. This strategic procedure is a
good process for an innovation company to emulate as it helps to speed
the running of businesses.
Samsung also specifically call for recruitment of the best people,
innovative being a key skill into the units that is so charge with
responsibility to do so. Through its university partnership, public hiring
and other internal and external training exercise with the main aim of
distinguishing inputs and strengths of individual so they can be
identifiable and categorise into team roles that will further build and aide
innovation. To fast track this Samsung strategies its objectives to get the
attention of the smartest people in the sector and also retain them. Often
also ensuring the training of this group in Samsung innovative strategies
in an intensive one-week training.
Dr.Hwang said this as regard the strategy of recruitment as regards to
innovation;
“Today, one smart person affects the survival of 10,000 people. The need
for core human resources has never been more urgent and cannot be
achieved without the help of the world’s universities,” (SEA 2006)
One critical example often used to illustrate the above is Samsung
company is the Semiconductor team which comprises of around 90
managers organized and divided into various groups to compete. These
groups were assigned the duty of building up new equipment through the
use og Lego block. Although the tools are simply Lego blocks yet the
equipment or product created in the exercise is expected to be functional.
33

The exercise allows the company and indeed the innovation team
especially the manager to identify the key roles of individual team
members. The activities in itself requires both teamwork and creativity
and it will provide the managers or team leaders with comprehension of
the supporter, promoter, idea generator or even the critical thinker is in
the team.
Another important strategy by the company is management of idea
generated, often huge companies can get lost in the pool of innovation
swimming through the tunnel of critical generation. Samsung strategically
manage this by ensuring adequate communication within and outside the
establishment. Idea management was created by Samsung to manage by
overseeing ideas generation and from thinkers and distributing these
ideas all over the company. These ideas are being evaluated consistently
by supervisors, colleagues, or even staff assigned to perform the reviews
who can add knowledge, opinions and even views. Samsung also create a
links of network organization for external communication between the
company firms. These are group of several independent companies, who
carry put different task and often need to communicate with each other to
ensure that the innovated ideas are actualize. For example, a firm in such
network group may be focusing of product design or research, another on
actual manufacturing of this product while a third may be in charge of
distribution.
Embedded
Samsung innovation procedures is a huge success because it accepts the
term commoditization as a principle of business and as incorporate its
strategy, processes, structure, people and rewards to deliver cost and also
speed advantages. Essentially for example Samsung was able to achieve
high speed due to optimal balances of both exploration and exploitation.
Exploration which often dictates taking risk, flexibility and
experimentations. And exploitation which is often about execution,
implementation, and also efficiency. An example of Samsung exploration
is its strategy to place multiple bets or competing products for its
company to an uncertain market it for example invested in plasma display
and LCD and Android and Windows mobile phone operating system and
thereby encouraging internal competition amongst its products and
among product development teams.
This means the company is often the first in the market with product that
compete with themselves and others at the same time offering varied
choices to consumers. In addition, Samsung exploitation comes up in its
strong and global ERP system that controls the supply chain with a solid
execution and a rather short lead time and an orientation based of the
company “can do spirit”. This allows individual employee to see
Innovation in a new light of cultural attribute of the company.
Finally, according to the Samsung websites there is a global drive for
innovation in diverse field as one of the key focused point of the company
the company as further embedded innovation into its company through it
34

strategic investment in companies who are as committed as solving big
problems too. Also, Samsung innovation strategy and plan extend into
diverse field of health, AI, data centre, Securities, privacy, infrastructure
and others.
Managed
Samsung Company in other to effectively manage Innovation focused on
the most ideal approach to at the same time execute planting and reaping
Innovation through co-advancement with partners. The fundamental focal
point of the VIP Center (Value Innovation Program ) as been on the best
way to support coordinated effort among inside divisions. Coming about
combination across divisions has empowered the firm to perceive the
differing perspectives other than the assessments of center innovators. It
is culturally required that those organizations inspired by high innovation
need to embrace the cross-practical group (CFC) idea with a different
space to advance between departmental joint effort for innovation. This
procedure is relied upon to support formal and casual sharing of thoughts,
sentiments, and perspectives since members have more chances to speak
with numerous individuals. For example, the CFC group comprising of
advertisers, planners, and designers built up another thin style PC which
got the extravagant of Japanese customers. Moreover, the individuals
from the Center every now and again work together with other firm that
fellow stakeholders in Samsung innovation strategies.

Through SAIT also the company effectively interfacee with outside firms
for example, colleges, through the Global Research Outreach (GRO)
program and different colleagues by means of the Collaborative Open
Research Expert (CORE) program. These endeavours have permitted the
firm to share the dangers inalienable in creation of innovation. Along
these lines, the firm has had the option to lessen the vulnerability
35

associated with creative practices and amplify its incentive with limited
hierarchical assets.
The utilization of a co-development system in overseeing planting and
innovation creation with constrained authoritative assets. SE has set up
systems with the different innovation stakeholders, including various inner
offices, the scholarly world, experts, clients, and providers to team up and
co-make for shared objectives. Notwithstanding outer assets, the firmly
interconnected connections among members are required to support
aggregate knowledge. Generally speaking, co-advancement permits SE to
oversee the two kinds of development, creating and planting, while at the
same time adapting to its established worldwide popularity.
Conclusively development and embedment of innovation is Samsung is
widely successful. One can quickly see that, innovation is a culture in the
company and every facet of the process is entrench with strong strategies
that will greatly improve the process. Samsung as seen thoroughly drive
its company goals and sustainability through innovations. Samsung may
need to improve more on its measurement of innovation. More research
may need to be espose on the process of innovation measurement. So
that the process will be more frugal and less wasteful. In the light of some
of Samsung innovative product that have suffer lack of patronage.
Also the drive towards forceful innovation, often make Samsung appear to
be seems innovative rather that been innovative. Teams may often be
forced to reveal innovative ideas in batches, dipping it out to consumers
sparingly and spreading features; in stages of brands making one brand a
just a little more different from the other. Apple for example have there
product distinctly different, with a varied innovative difference from one
less brand to another. Samsung suffer a different method, with a suppose
less brand a little different (perhaps with just one feature, may be an
higher design) than a suppose higher brand.
This suppose attitude of spreading innovative feature invented at a period
between diverse brands instead of contrasting it into a singular innovative
feature may often make Samsung appear as accompany using innovation
as an opportunity of driving financial status rather than for the purpose of
innovative exploit.
P5 Explain the importance of the commercial funnel and the
application of New Product Development (NPD) processing for
commercialisation of innovation.
Importance of commercial funnel
Commercial funnel refers to the conscious procedures of company to get
more consumers for a given products. It involves generating more sales
that will drive company profits it essentially means generating more leads
and engaging more consumers to the company.
According to (manzini and lazzarotti, 2016) commercial funnels main use
is to visually draft the consumers journey in other words depicting what
36

can be tagged sales process which often begin with awareness to action.
The process serves as a revenue funnel and depict the ideas in their
variety as they relate with the starting point of sales where a large
proportion of consumers are related and as they begin to reduce as they
near actual purchase. They very obvious importance with commercial
funnel is the conscious awareness of organization about consumers and
also the identification of consumers wants or problems thoroughly.

Attract
In this process the proper sources of attraction to investors and also new
clients is maintained. The process also entails the attraction of more
consumers, performing content investigation reviewing feedback sources
analyzing these processes can allow company to improve its product
offering. Let’s take for example the Samsung and Heinz website and socio
media platforms where the company take terms to share their success
stories. This unique medium helps to attract consumers and investors
alike to the company.
Converts
Often attracting consumers is not enough to successfully, potential
consumes must be converted to actual consumers. Converts serve the
purpose of making unknown consumers to known consumers. Research
and feedback from market analysis can go a long way to include
consumers preference in product outline to ensure that they are truly
converted. Samsung can improve their phones with features peculiar to
the target market while at the same time ensuring that these products are
offered at an avoidable rate.
Close
37

This process entails winning the consumers over, turning them to loyal
consumers of the company. Organization often close consumers by
identifying the lead, often consumers activities are monitored and
measured by the company. Information often monitored comprise the
consumers desires and preferences especially as regard the continuation
of the patronage of the consumer. If the company discover the anticipated
interest to remain in growth with the company then lead is then often
close by company and formality is often initiated and maintained.
Delight
Offering delight involve the process of adequately satisfying consumers
through consistent and seamless services. This translate to broadcasting
the satisfaction level of consumers. Samsung and Heinz been a product
base company must continually update its consumers preference sheet
and feedback in other to track loyal consumers and their preferable treats.
Some key importance of the concept of commercial funnel is that it
pushes company to be involve in finding solution collectively through the
wide online medium, like socio marketing and email campaign with real
time feedback.
Also, there is a conscious effort that is been by the company to push and
increase consumers interest that sales increase even as consumers
perspective start to shift. These often translate to an increase in
understanding of commercialization and innovation processes.
New product Development Process
This is the popular concept about the identification of the core strategies
and method that are necessary in the launch of new services and product
especially in new market environment. Following the stages of the
processes have the tendency to increase sales of the organization. It is a
strategical product launching analysis that covers all dynamics of
commercialization of product to introduce it to market and also generate
increase revenue even at the very first launching and in an enduring
future.
Idea generation: This involve the generation of ideas in accordance to
demand and need of the market. This means that company must produce
what the markets are willing to purchase. Because sometimes market
may not know what they want until it seen this stage also involve research
to have an idea on what the consumers prioritize this will then allow the
company innovative idea and product that will give consumers a truly
satisfying appeal. Samsung for example is developing products based on
younger generation needs, especially when it comes to phone, yet in
certain developing economies Samsung is adapting to consumers socio
environment and reflecting in the products it pushes out. In India ensuring
must phones develop for that community has torchlight, speaker, and
multi sims out let is a very good example.
38

Heinz innovative concepts of the squeeze and use new Heinz Ketchup is
another innovative idea that put consideration on consumers’ needs and
wants. Heinz figure that since the Ketchup and indeed must pf its fast
food product is meant and used by consumer in eat on the run kind of
way. The company redesign the ketchup package to be serve by just the
squeeze of the bottle to make the process of eating it on the run much
easier.
Concept definition:
In the face of fierce competitors’ product in competitive market concept
definition helps in fine tuning the specific and unique features that makes
the organization’s product much better than the competitors’ products. It
involves illustrating and demonstrating products specification to the
consumers.
Samsung show rooms is often use to demonstrate this concept in the
Samsung company. For example, Samsung has mobile show rooms in its
more than 3oo buses in India to bring products shows to the inner creaks
of the country.
Market analyzing:
It is indeed essential to make market research before launching into the
murky deep water of the market. Company must analyze market
condition, outlets, demands before a product can be confidently launched.
Samsung considered market before prices are sets for its new phones, it
includes the features and set prices that consumers can pay for or that is
avoidable. It introduces and emphases the advert and promotion of
products that can be avoidable in the target markets. In some cases,
Samsung develop specific product for specific target consumers and
markets.
Product development:
The most important concept in product development is both the actual
performance of the product and also the outside design that will entice
consumers. It simply means that consumers must be considered in
product design. Designs must be made to increase the desirability of the
consumers. For example, the Apple company put a lot of effort in design
of the product, according to Steve jobs each steps of the product
especially design is made with considerable care, even from the package
and case of the phone.
Samsung roll out phones that are increasing getting slimmer, with screen
having edge to edge to increase desirability of consumers, this phones
slim and sleek features offers deep satisfaction to consumers of the target
younger generation.
Heinz also incorporate design in the production of it food packages,
evolving quickly and changing faces at every turn of period to illustrate
renewed vigor in the company food processing. Healthy looking food
designs are plastered on its bottles and other food packages at its shops
39

and restaurant outlets, in the company advert and promotion to show
case the healthy food been process in the company.
Commercialization
This involve the actual showcase of the product in the market, the
exhibition and promotion of the product, basically the showcase of
finished product to expectants consumers.
Conclusively Incorporating NPD and Commercial funnel into the
organization strategic structure allows the development of several new
products with consumers base and turn out new profit margin for the
company. It means that the increase in profits soar higher, and there is an
increase in the company business scope and more employee and smart
innovators are even the more recruited.
Also, product made in the process are often made with great care thus
having more value, this well planned and systematic consumer focus
product helps the company to widen the scope of it markets.
This effort has also given birth to the impact of technology in massive
way, the call for innovation has led to the development of several witted
technology in company bids and teams bid to outdo one another. This
healthy competition as seen a wide explosive impact on the technological
radar.
Furthermore, because of the promotional and commercialization
processes the multimedia platforms as equally been boasted, widened in
other to shoulder the marketing need of the expanding process of
innovation.
In short innovation allows diversification and also torchlights investments
opportunities for the companies.
P6 Build an Innovation Business Case for an organisation,
including ways to access funding
Business case is made to cover the intricacies of market and survivability
of a new product. Consequently, the part of this project focus on building
business case for Samsung new product and ways the company can the
company access fund.
There is essential requirement that can allow for the free flow of making
innovative business case. These also allows company to measure the
delivery on its ideas for future use. Samsung Electronics is one of the
electrical manufacturing company offering electrical appliances
manufacturing and smartphones productions in US, Asia, Europe and
Africa countries in making a business case for this huge company. The
organization must include its product development processes, customer
awareness program and strategy, pricing strategy and market emergence.
Executive Summary
40

The purpose of this report is to conduct a marketing analysis of the new
product of the Samsung Electronics. The product is a new expansion and
addition to the line of product in its category line. The product is in the
category of smartphones already introduced to the market by other

Solution
In other to ensure this the company is giving a detail more features to its
product, but the television and smartphones. It is considering targeting
developing product in relation to the environment of targeted consumers.
Research
To achieve the above the company had carried out research through it
innovative team in the first phase of the innovation processes about
consumers preferences, market outline and environmental consideration
including government policies in targeted area. These researches were
carried out through surveys, questions and site inspections. Through
analysis for example it was discovered the product phones or television
must be strong for the harsh condition of some of the targeted
environment, loud speaker for volumes, touch light features for
smartphones, multiple sims for smartphone, long power batter for phones
and inbuilt battery for television to last extra hours are part of the
discovered preferences.
Product development
Samsung must first develop its new product from its innovation pool of
ideas generated by its innovative teams and strategies. This new product
will essentially have distinct features from the previous Samsung products
and also from the competitor’s product. The uniqueness of the product is
the primary source of marketable quality and promotional torchlights, in
developing this product Samsung must adhere to the following strategies;
 Product must be unique in features and also in design

Risk
The tech still has a long way to go. This is because the device is an
entirely new concept. Samsung will be pioneering the new tech.
Competitors are however emerging like Hawaii the major distinction been
Samsung wrap-around screen is a major distinguishing factor from
Samsung. Also, priced at $2,400, it’s more expensive than the Galaxy
Fold. Also, Motorola and Microsoft will join the foldable phone bandwagon
to fire up the competition.
Apple is also a major contender in the innovative business. Getting the
phone to be marketed and love by consumers to be preferred will be the
utmost risk. The phone been also expensive. The phone will also be
contending with other phones both in Samsung, and other Mobile phone
companies.
Target market
Kotler and Armstrong (2006) define market segmentation as the division
of target market into diverse groups of consumers who possesses a
similarly distinct needs and service/product requirement. Samsung
product also falls into this category.
Geographic
Location is important to the product. This is the region or part of the
world, continent or country which the business will target. The main target
of the product is the emerging economies where the product will find an
enduring strength. Included are China, India, Brazil and Malaysia.
Age:
The age gap of the product is the ideal younger generation flex between
15 – 30. This group are made of women and men who are aching for
advance technology for socio connection or even comfortable business
decisions with technological advantage in today socio business age.
46

Income
The emerging economies is often divided unevenly between high salary
earners, middle class earners and low-class earners. The technological
features of the product may make the price unappealing to the low-class
earners. Thus, high class earners and middle-class earners are the target.
Sources of Funding
The following funding will be jointly utilized by the company
Sweat Equity alludes to the time you and key representatives,
contractual workers, chiefs or counselors spend taking a shot at the
business in return for proprietorship in the business, instead of money
pay.
Licensing proceeds for the most part include a forthright expense paid
to the creator and may likewise incorporate further installments as the
innovation is popularized. This sort of understanding regularly happens
with associations that desire to permit inventive innovation thoughts that
supplement their current items and administrations.
Cash Equity alludes to cash put by an outsider in return for a portion of
the possession in your business.
Debt is cash you get to maintain your business and must be reimbursed
in full, ordinarily in portion installments with premium.
The three major sourcing is enough to provide cash and commitment0 to
the production of the product.
M4 Build a detailed Innovation Business Case which includes how
to measure its overall effectiveness using appropriate techniques
available to test, iterate and improve.
How Do You Measure innovation?
Definition of Innovation often offer guide into further understanding the
scope of the concept. In essence a company must determine the meaning
of innovation to the organization itself. Discovering what the company
terms as innovative will assist the company focus in details on its strategic
innovative plans necessary to establish innovation.

Innovation can be defined simply as a "new idea, device or method".
However, innovation is often also viewed as the application of better
solutions that meet new requirements, unarticulated needs, or existing
market needs.
Going by the above definition the measurement of Innovation for the new
Samsung foldable phone as its to be called is rested on the measurement
of solutions that allows the company improve, solution for old or new or
existing needs. T
On way to measure an unmeasurable outcome like innovation is by
applying and developing what is known as leading and lagging indicators.
By selecting leading indicators that will drive the outcome of created
innovative solutions. Thus, the leading and Lagging indicator that will be
measure for the new item is discuss further below;
Image credited to www.thnkhdi.com
Lagging indicator are innovative initiatives or innovation in total using
revenue increase as a resulted through innovation as a KPI (key
performance indicators).
Leading indicators as to be first drafted and identified and agreeably
chosen by all parties involve and then reported and overtime used in
other measure innovative initiative result and also to assist in driving core
innovation in the company.
Leading Measures for Innovation
In measuring innovation there must be an agreement internally on what
exercise or activities will be a representation of innovation in the company
and also KPI selection that will be used as leading indicators.
There are indeed many areas of innovative approach that may
consequently translate into a LI (* leading indicators) for innovation. For
example;
Organization culture of innovation
There is culture of taking risk and allowing mistakes;
o indicators can be number of ideas that are newly tried,
o or percentage of ideas newly incorporated that lead to a large
initiative of effective strategies.
48

There are also time units exhausted in exploring innovation leads.
o Employee hours number exhausted on ideation and
independent researches
o Also, the numbers of project that is taken and discovered
through the ideation process and also the rate of their success
through revenue and generated outcomes.
There are also the uses of innovative technologies in new initiatives and
projects.
o The number of new projects that are making use of
technology
o The revenue accrues by the project in this category.
There is also changes in the manner in which a company transact
business with consumers whether process or technological driven.
The above are simply typical example, it usually boils down to stake
holders to determine what innovation will truly look like for the company,
and also identify areas in which these innovations will take place and then
ultimately apply it to the selected leading indicators. These will then be a
viable KPI that can be used to access and measure innovation in the
company.
In application to the new product the new product will allow the company
take or stay abreast the new innovation culture sweeping through
companies. Also Samsung aims at been the first in releasing the
innovation thus staying abreast its goal of been the first point of reference
in the innovation culture of the present circumstance.
Innovative technology measurement
There is essential second steps to measure innovation is to internally
agree on the approach, types and technologies of initiatives that will meet
with hoe the company define innovation.
Innovative technologies to go for varies in large quantities and uses.
Examples are;
 Internet of Things
 Virtual/Extended Reality
 Platform Consolidation
 Robotics, Bots, Chat Bots
 Artificial Intelligence (Watson is most frequently mentioned)
The most effective way of accessing this is to assemble to executive from
business and technological units to access technology thought to be
innovative in the sector and also discuss in length the way they could be
of advantage or benefits to the company. the essence of this is to have a
list of technologies that are been accepted as innovative and which they
49

can support. This translate that during the cause of latter drafting of
projects the company will be able to point out and measure or access that
the technology been use is of standard and currently acceptable in best
practice scenario.
In application to the new product the new innovation is specifically apply
to the mobile phone line of the company so as to ensure that it is in
consonant with the market demand for fast innovation in the area.
Opportunities alignment with Innovation
The 3rd step in measuring innovation is internally agreeing on business
areas which are no more effective in current market and which innovation
can be use as tool to transform.
In truth innovation does not only as to do with new technologies it also
often involves a different approach of conducting business. It does mean
that the review of Innovation does not always involve new technology; it
can just as often involve a new approach to doing business. Consequently,
after the review of a new approach to conducting business activities that
also involve new technology there is need to perform a review of the
present business processes, essentially and how trending technology can
be use to improve these processes. accessing how these processes can
be transformed.
The new product is concept that was lost in vogue in the previous era,
Samsung attempt in reinvigorating the style of mobile lines is a sure
innovative essence that will be acceptable. This by no means offer a solid
measurement of the innovative culture and endeavour.
The adaptable use of new technology in line with old styling is a no doubt
innovative attitude that is been espouse and that will in no short time be
commendable.
After the appropriate consideration of the above steps the
company will then possess a list of guides that can be used lead
indicators:
P7 Evaluate the different tools that organizations can use to
develop, retain and protect knowledge and intellectual property.
Intellectual property protection Samsung and Heinz case study
Using Samsung and Heinz operation in the USA as an example, the
constitution provided for the congress draft to provide a protection
monopoly for intellectual property, this protection is however only
subjected to the purpose of science progression and useful arts and only
in a relatively limited time. It however happens that the company or
producer often want protection to be on as long as it could so that profits
will be relatively maximize. It however benefits the public if content does
fall.
Patent
50

Patent is the legal right that confers the exclusive ownership on
something which means others are for the time exempted for laying
claims or utilizing it without the express permission of the patentee. The
protection of the owners right against intrusions or trespass of others.
The term also confers the legal right that exclude interested parties form
selling, producing or even using a product that is patented. The term is
thus in consistent with the USA constitutional copyright clause witch in
essence grants innovators “the exclusive right to their discoveries”.
Licence agreement remains the only viable means through which
interested parties to the agreement can obtain the right to make use of
such product, such agreement must then be accessed from the patentee.
Patent often very in numbers of granted years from sector to sector,
Samsung introduction of many ground breaking innovation features in its
Android Smartphones while other Android phone are still battling with
relevance may see the company surging forward with the aid of patent. A
patent in USA is subject to a usual Twenty years running. Although the
right is often granted subject to public disclosure of the product that want
to receive the right.
Patent for Heinz example is also peculiar in it right, firstly the concept of
food is a new one. Now though the concept covers a major range of
several areas within the food sector. Ranging from food composition, to
the processing of the food. There is also the possibility of patenting new
added ingredient, processing and packaging methods, applications.
Innovation in food technology often results in new ingredients and
products which may be patented. Also, research of the company involving
biotech innovation in its farms can likewise the patent.
Patent merits
Patent allows company to monopolise innovation for a long time thereby
cashing out on value.
Patent greatly benefits the company in every facets of the production a
individual featured of a product or service can be patented.
It allows for the licensing of the product or feature or service to another
for a price decided.
There is protection against legal consequence for example if every facets
of product is patent, it will prevent competitor from getting around a
patent by finding ways to adopt it.
There is also the advantage of technological negotiation because the
patent of product and product features is not tied to the entire business,
during a downside where product might be sold , patent allow the
company to get more value for the patent product or even remove that
from the whole business thereby still making extra cash on the patent.
Demerits
51

It often takes long time to file a patent, time which means that value are
been lost as regard money.
It also involves the full disclosure of innovation style and strategies and
methods which can offer insight to competitors.
Also, there is long battle usually ensure as regard patent litigation.
It is often costly too, involving consistent annual payment to keep up the
patent.
Trademarks
A trademark is often any logo, or kind of name, device, motto, slogan,
colour, sounds that is already identified by consumers to a particular
brand. These are essentially anything which can ultimately identify the
uniqueness of a good and services of a company. This are granted usually
under federal law in the USA and also the trade mark office and often last
forever. Although a trademark can often become generic when it ceased
to be associated with the origin of specific company or product that
trademark ultimately become generic and thus lose any form of legal
protection. It is legal for company to take legal actions against trademark
infringement or the dilution of their unique marks.
Example of trademark include the Heinz turquoise colour of its baked
beans tins or the ketchup bottle design for its tomato ketchup soup.
Heinz Logo (Image credited to Pininterest.com)
Samsung as distinct trademark for its brand logo, and also the iconic
image and sounds that great Smartphones when the turn on their mobile
phones is an example of trademarks.

Benefits
The best-favoured viewpoint to a trademark is that there are no lawful
objectives for the life of trademarks. Trademarks have a lawful life as long
as the trademark proprietor proceed with restoring the selection of the
trademark, keeps the trademark in proceeded with use, and powers the
trademark proprietor's privileges.
Second, enlistment of a trademark in the trademark office is respectably
affordable and basic. The trademark owner needs to compose a structure
with a little enlistment charge. As such, while the cost to select the
trademark is more than the cost to enroll copyright, it is still decently
humble appeared differently in relation to patent arraignment costs.
Taking everything into account, trademarks are outstanding in that one
can use them to stamp and produce enthusiasm for by and large
uninteresting or product things, starting a buyer to pay a premium for
something that could some way or another be gotten at a lesser cost.
Demerits
Trademarks imply most likely the greatest brands on earth. In any case,
like grapplers, the more noteworthy they are, the harder they fall.
Trademarks can have an awesome proportion of unusualness in the
market. Markets and perceptions change immediately, and such changes
can weaken a cost and prominence in thrilling manners.
Indeed, realized trademarks are also in peril for genericized, which
happens when the customers begin to associate a brand with normal
results of comparable helpfulness. For example, Sellotape and Thermos
never began as essential words. They began as marked items that finally
the shopper related with progressively expansive things. These brands
lost regard due to genericized.
53

With a trademark or a brand, you can promote your organization locally
just as all inclusive. Ensure that the name of your image is particular and
alluring with the goal that individuals can without much of a stretch recall
it. In any case, the bad mark of copyright is that it just makes sure about
the viewpoint of a thought and not the whole thought.
Trade secrets
Although trade secrets are meant to last forever as far as the owner does
not disclose it. If, however the competitors discover trade secrete through
a legal means it of course ceases to be a trade secret anymore. Thus, the
owner does not have the right to exclude the use of such trade secrete by
the competitors.
Misappropriation describe the unlawful means of obtaining trade secret
which is legally actionable.
For technological company like Samsung trade secret basically means an
ongoing innovation that is not yet patented, in house management
strategies that increase production.
Food retail company like Heinz have a greater use of trade secrets. From
recipe, to food processing techniques, to ingredients are all trade secrets
often guided. This secrete offered the unique taste that consumers enjoy
and that competitors cannot provide. Thus, company like Heinz go to
great length to protect is trade secrete by limiting the numbers of people
aware and also by asking employee to sign agreement to discourage
disclosure. Agreement like non-compete, non-disclosure are example of
clauses in employee agreements that discourages the exposure of trade
secrets.

Copyright
54

Copyright is a legal protection medium for any creative item that is
contained in a physical medium. Legally the protection of copy right is
automatically without any approval from government approvals and often
last past the death of the owners at least seventy years after. Copyrights
retain the ownership of their work but can licence the use of the work by
others. Often digital work is so protected by copyright and are often
encrypted by digital right management schemes. Infringement on
copyright contributory or directly is considered a serious civil violation
which often result into a heavy monetary penalty.
Samsung electronics can utilize copyright as a protection of the originality
of its television and mobile phone designs, and even the methods use
there I to enhance their durability. could use copyrights to protect the
originality of the design of a television, the technology used, even
methods that could enhance their durability.
In the case of Heinz copyright can be a little complex as often time a list
of items or ingredients or even methods of specific cooking may not be
copyrightable however a published book containing recipe may so be
liable.
Benefits
Copyrights have many focal points not at all like other IP types, including
a basically longer legal life – the life of the maker notwithstanding 70
years! Various copyrights won't make budgetary activity for wherever
near the legal existence of the maker or farther than that.
Another ideal situation of copyrights is that the owner is equipped for
certifiable harms and any additional advantages took pleasure in by the
infringer, or established damages. The figuring of compensations can be
less mentioning for a copyright arraignment when appeared differently in
relation to that of a patent case.
Finally, copyrights are normally reasonably esteemed and easy to enrol.
Creators gain security and proprietorship for copyrightable works at the
point producers fix the work in a significant medium. Appropriately, the
copyright proprietor gets insurance following that point with no careful
deed with an organization office.
Demerits
The huge obstruction for copyrights is that copyrights secure the
declaration of an idea, not simply the idea. Licenses regularly ensure
considerations. The separation might be straightforward; in any case, it is
an essential refinement. For instance, a creator courses an article
55

spreading out am Innovation. Copyright law ensures about the manner by
which the trend-setter conferred the advancement in the article;
regardless, the guaranteed improvement depicted in the article doesn't
get copyright confirmation.
M5 Present supported evidence-based evaluation of these
different tools in the context of the wider business environment.
Example of Samsung and Heinz use of Patent and the benefits
Samsung
Recently, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. was awarded U.S. Patent No.
8390589 by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for the use of
nanostructures in touch screens displays. More specifically, the patent
explains that these nanostructures will consist of either graphene or
another carbon nanomaterial. Samsung is an electronics company that is
most well-known for its smart phones and innovative touch screens.
Benefits of this is that any phone of smartphone in feature that want to
use the technology may need to collect licence from Samsung. Not only
that the technology itself covers wide range of fields, biochemistry and
others. All research as related to Samsung innovation may need to collect
licence in the regard.
It means that there will be high turnover on the innovation, thereby
improving Samsung stands as a lead company.
KFC
Reportedly, Sanders' secret recipe of "11 herbs and spices" is KFC's most
valuable intellectual property.
KFC also registered patents for its composite bucket and interactive box:
KFC has various patents that cover its unique cooking equipment,
including: pressurized cooking system, pumping system, hot oil
recirculating system, deep fat frying system, pressure release valve,
frying equipment, cooking apparatus (x2), oven (all since expired),
rotisserie and griddle.
Benefits of this is that no other fast food agent can make use of the
company recipe, cooking process and packages in its food process.
This strengthens the KFC brand and distinguishes its goods and services
further in the marketplace. The buzz generated by the campaign of the
new innovation will drive sales and reinforce the value and goodwill of the
KFC brand.
Also, this protect the company unique taste, look and appearance.
Copyright
56

Copy right like other intellectual property tools is protected by federal law
in USA. It specifically uses to protect creativity. Traditionally copyright is
used to protect things like songs, music, art, poems, novels or written
work generally. Now the term covers any form of creativity at all be it
expression or otherwise including the digital forms.
Truly a thing become copyrighted upon its creation automatically and its
often inconsequential by law to the term copyright or the symbol © on the
item. Another worthy thing to note is that copyright expires immediately
after Ninety years upon the death of the owner or hundred years after the
first publication meaning the materials falls now to the public domain to
use.
For example, some of William Shakespeare works are already fallen into
public domain, including works of Bach and Beethoven.
Also, the possessor of the copyright may consequently allow the public to
make use of its product for free or contingent on a fee this is often allow
and contain in what is referred to as EULA that is End User License
Agreement. For example, movies, and music allow their fans to enjoy their
product through this means.
For Digital material it is often even more flexible for the copyrights owner
as they are licence to limit the numbers of transferable the purchaser
could do or even licence the owner to delete original bought item without
the purchaser knowledge often legally permitted by Digital Rights
Management (DRM) copyright owner can further prevent it been
downloadable despite payment. For example, Amazon recently delete a
George Owell books form the library of purchaser of it kindle books.
Finally, in recent time copyright has been taken a step further to prevent
the replacement or change of part of a copyright product.
Trade Marks
In the USA the federal law called the Lanhan Act protects the trademarks.
Because trademarks are often created so as to guide against consumer
confusion it often last forever in the interest of public good. Thus,
companies are often allowed to continuously maintain for so long as the
customer associate these trademarks with company specifically.
Trade mark is specifically guided by company with big names because of
the premium prices they could command by the big brands even over
equally good items. Brand such as Rolls – Royce, Bentley, Hermes and
Roles are specific examples of big names that sales premium values on
the strength of the name. Gucci is another example with premium stores
in diverse countries selling on the basic of its names. Apple phones are
known for luxurious brand value smartphones. In other words because
consumers associate high value to this brand names they guide the use of
their brand names more judiciously as it can quickly dent the image
created in the mind of consumers and because it is one of their relative
leverage over their competitors.
57

Although trade mark is known to contain created names or logo, any
name even the owners name can so become a trade mark even though
thousand s of people bear that name. It consequently means that the
most important ingredient with trade mark is often consumer association.
For example, the online retail Amazon is also a popular River yet the
name as been acquired with the secondary meaning of Online retail shop
by consumers. Ford is someone name and yet is associated with luxurious
cars, LG is coined alphabetic words that acquire the popular electronics
company.
In 1988 as ana example when Quality Inn a company in hospitality
business was sued by McDonald because of the then recently launched
motels it called McSleep. McDonald claims that the consumers may
assume that the company was owed by McDonald because of the
similarity between names. The judge agreed and thus cancel the name.
Thus, even similarity in names that can cause confusion or create
assumption in the mind of the consumers are often not allowed.
Patent
Patent is quiet a complicated tool in its own right firstly because of the
complexity of the process itself. In the USA the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office (USPTO) grants property rights to patentees often the prosecution
of patents is often done by lawyers who are specifically qualified as a
patent attorney and who must have passed the patent bar exams and
must also have the background knowledge in science or engineering.
A patent for plant and utility can last 14 years after the first publication of
the patent and 20 years for design patent. How ever patent can not be
claimed by employee who under the employment of a company created a
product for the company that company has the claim on the item and is in
fact the patentee.
The recent concern of patent is the patent of plants and animal which is
often considered complex in USA for example patent of animal in the case
of the Oncous mouse was the first of its kind in the USA the genetically
modified animal as the high propensity of developing cancers and as such
is a useful study item in the research. Plant for example Genuity Bollgard
II Cotton was patented by Monsanto Company. The cotton was genetically
modified to resist worm damage. The essence allows farmers the waste of
time and money in spraying insecticide to the plants. The company also
hold several example of plant patents in soybeans, corn and even canola.

which it is developed, providing evidence-based judgements on
how organisations can overcome challenges to develop successful
innovations.
Challenges of New product Development,
58

Certainly, an association makes a thing to fill a need or need in its brisk
promoting locale. As the association creates, it develops the publicizing
locale until the thing is advanced extensively. After a thing shows up at
national scattering, the association generally decides to either broaden
universally or make various things and remain a national dealer. With the
advancement of the overall economy starting late, even new
organizations directly consolidate inescapable worldwide dissemination
with their fundamental field-tried systems. Associations by and by need to
consider the challenges of all inclusive dispersal in the basic thing
improvement process.
Social Challenges
Things are made to meet a specific need or need. Since we have a need
or need in the U.S., doesn't suggest that need or need is comprehensive.
Different countries are at different periods of money related new
development, and the need or need we have presumably won't have
made in enough various countries to make a reasonable target showcase.
Various countries have different social orders and unmistakable food
tendencies, preparing inclinations, living quarters, recreational
possibilities, lifestyles and articles of clothing. English speakers might be
relatively few. Brand names may not decipher fittingly. Countries may
have no excitement for a particular respectable or organization that is
selling incredible in America.
Specialized Challenges
Associations have worked wonderfully of normalizing development, yet so
have various countries, and those measures don't commonly organize.
Standard electrical voltage shifts from country to country, so things must
be expected to run on different voltages, and they need different fittings
to fit different holders. Close by water weight might be remarkable.
Lettering on dials, handles, switches or affixes may ought to be in
different lingos. Some usage Fahrenheit systems to evaluate temperature
while others use Celsius. Some use metric estimations, while some usage
other estimation systems. Rough materials immediately open in America
most likely won't be available in various countries. Phone, radio, TV and
ISP signs might be altogether surprising from country to country.
Legitimate and Regulatory Challenges
A couple of countries block the importation of explicit things to guarantee
private endeavors. Others may require government underwriting to work
or require you work with neighborhood associates. Trademark, copyright
and patent protection laws might be nonexistent. Particular natural rules
may must be viewed. Certain things might be confined for political or
exacting reasons. Permits or licenses might be required to perform
59

principal works out. You will in all likelihood be not able to overcome a bit
of these challenges, so it is basic to fathom them before you contribute
resources.
Conveyance Challenges
In America, in case you can get Wal-Mart and Target to pass on your
thing, you have second national assignment. Most various countries don't
have that sort of national scattering available to them. You have to work
with numerous commonplace chains, dealers and free stores. Various
countries, for instance, India, have tremendous far off domains that are
served by a large number of little mother and-pop stores or retail trucks. It
might be a certified test to get your thing from the import docks to a spot
where a customer can get it.
Limited time Challenges
In America, there is a variety of fruitful methods to propel a thing and talk
with our customers. We can use TV, radio, standard mail, magazines, web
based systems administration, sheets, selling and thing position in films.
Various countries essentially don't have these unique methodologies,
emphatically not to the degree we have here. You may need to use a
grass roots approach, which is much harder. Likewise, there may be social
obstructions. Our progressions will when all is said in done have a sexual
heading. The magnificent model as delegate, shot in enchanting
swimwear or with plunging neck territory might be unapproachable in
various associations. You may find you have to use procedures with which
you have no understanding. You may need to absolutely re-take a stab at
packaging or constrained time materials at broad expense
Techniques and frameworks for New product Development
60

In spite of the fact that item advancement is innovative, the order
requires a deliberate way to deal with manage the procedures that are
required to get another item to advertise. Associations, for example, the
Product Development and Management Association (PDMA) and the
Product Development Institute (PDI) give direction about choosing the
best improvement structure for another item or administration. A system
helps structure the real item improvement.
A few systems, similar to the fluffy front end (FFE) approach, characterize
what steps ought to be followed, however surrender it over to the group
to choose which request bodes well for the particular item that is being
created. The five components of FFE item improvement are:
Recognizable proof of structure models - includes conceptualizing
conceivable new items. When a thought has been distinguished as an
imminent item, an increasingly formal item improvement procedure can
be applied.
Thought investigation - includes a closer assessment of the item idea.
Statistical surveying and idea consider are attempted to decide whether
the thought is practical or inside an important business setting to the
organization or to the shopper.
Idea beginning - includes transforming a distinguished item opportunity
into an unmistakable idea.
Prototyping - includes making a quick model for an item idea that has
been resolved to have business pertinence and worth. Prototyping in this
front-end setting implies a "down to business" model is made, instead of
the refined item model that will be tried and showcased later on.
Item advancement - includes guaranteeing the idea is suitable and has
been resolved to bode well and have business esteem.
Different structures, similar to configuration thinking, have iterative
advances that are intended to be followed in a specific request to advance
inventiveness and joint effort. The five segments of configuration
believing are:
Sympathize - Learn progressively about the issue from various points of
view.
Characterize - Identify the extension and genuine nature of the issue.
Ideate - Brainstorm answers for the issue.
Model - Weed out unworkable or illogical arrangements.
Test - Solicit criticism.
Over the previous decade, much has been said about open information,
open source programming, and open guidelines. So much, truth be told,
61

that numerous individuals have started to utilize the terms reciprocally. In
any case, open information, open source, and open gauges are not
interchangeable and ought not be conflated.
The disarray represents a test for some firms, specifically, those which
need innovative ability yet by and by take a shot at worldwide issues that
search out "open" Innovation arrangements
Open Data
The Open Knowledge Foundation characterizes open information as
"information that can be unreservedly utilized, shared and based on by
anybody, anyplace, for any reason." In these examples, information are
imparted to an open permit, for example, the open copyright Creative
Commons permit.
A key standard of open information is that the information must be
accessible and available in an effectively edible arrangement. Tragically,
on account of open information, "open" doesn't generally signify "open."
Rather, it basically implies that the information is accessible for anybody
to utilize — if you realize who to inquire. Making information open rather
than just accessible requires effectively assessing, considering and
expelling the boundaries that keep individuals from obtaining it.
Open Source
Open source programming is programming whose source code can be
freely seen, shared or altered. It regularly is circulated with a permit that
gives clients the option to adjust it. The worldwide philanthropic Open
Source Initiative has 10 explicit standards for open source programming
arrangement, including free redistribution of the product and innovation
impartial licenses. The permit must take into consideration programming
adjustments and inferred works that may be discharged secretly.
Open source programming is often evolved utilizing a community-oriented
model. For instance, the internet browser Google Chrome is based on
Chromium, the open source programming that was made by a network of
engineers, including those working for Google. Chromium is the base form
that anybody can expand on head of to include extra highlights. Google
based upon it, including extra highlights and discharging Chrome as a
restrictive item. Microsoft's new program is likewise founded on
Chromium.
62

Open Standards
Open Standards are determinations intended to improve interoperability
and augment utility between computerized frameworks. Like open
information, open guidelines ought to be freely accessible to any
individual or association, liberated from cost. Moreover, information
configurations ought to be autonomous and liberated from legitimate
conditions that may restrict their appropriation.
"A standard resembles a plan that aides individuals who fabricate things,"
specialists from the Open Geospatial Consortium and the Open Source
Geospatial Foundation write in a joint white paper. That implies that open
guidelines ought to have nitty gritty plans and directions that anybody can
follow to actualize them.
Creating norms requires a worldwide network containing all areas
cooperating to make determinations and on the whole concurring upon
prerequisites.
A genuine model representing the utilization of open gauges is the HTML
Living Standard that was created by specialists working for significant
program organizations like Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla. This
standard introduced particulars, for example, Hypertext Transfer Protocol
(HTTP), which permits a web client to demand content on the web through
what is presently known as a hyperlink.
How Samsung and Heinz overcome challenges in Innovation
Samsung
Samsung has effectively changed from nearby low-quality maker to a
brand that produce excellent and a great mode shopper gadgets.
Organization execution has demonstrated that Samsung has gone to the
correct bearing in a decade ago. The accomplishment of turning out to be
innovative firm begun from the assertion to be the worldwide pioneer in
the business in late 1990s. After the re-setup and receiving group working
practice, Samsung association has been modified to be adaptable and
natural, prompting capacity to create imaginative ability. Notwithstanding
the enrollment of the best individuals into the association, Samsung has a
test instruction apparatus to distinguish the key people, for example,
venture pioneer, advertisers, or observer, in order to mix various jobs in
making development. These individuals are working under the very much
planned information the executive’s framework and trustful and intriguing
correspondence with the help of managers, encouraging innovative
atmosphere. Prizes framework for inventive benefactor, authoritative
system and mechanical arrangements has realized the information
63

disclosure and sharing all through the organization, making learning
association that continues Samsung development competency.
Heinz
At Heinz, various boundaries to advancement were distinguished in a
review of existing work on, including:
a low prioritization among senior administration
protection from thoughts. New invention didn't generally work through the
framework on the grounds that the association had gotten progressive
with a top down methodology. After some time, in this way, individuals
recommended less new thoughts.
dread of disappointment in the association. Individuals were frequently
hesitant to assume liability for new item
improvement on the off chance that the thoughts didn't work.
an over fixation on tight monetary targets which were regularly of a
transient sort. Individuals were not generally arranged to take longer term
dangers which in the end lead to the 'large successes.'
an inclination that the association was not successfully tuning in to
shoppers.
Various key activities were distinguished to expel a portion of the
hindrances to innovations and to turn the association and its way of life
around. One of the significant prerequisites of viable change was that
people in the association ought to be given additional time and support to
concoct new thoughts. It was perceived that numerous workers were too
occupied to even think about innovating appropriately. The accentuation
subsequently changed to permit representatives to be innovative.
The Human Resources Department is likewise inspecting enlistment,
acceptance, preparing and initiative projects to distinguish new
methodologies which will empower, create and perceive the aptitudes
required to convey effective developments. The advancement program
would thus be able to be viewed as an impetus to change the way of life
of the association.
Another significant improvement has been the production of a Heinz
Innovation Fresh Ideas Folder which gives a focal assortment point to
thoughts inside the association. People and groups are urged to contribute
thoughts to the organizer. The accentuation is set on 'step advancements'
for example major, new thoughts which will impel the association forward.
