product and services that creates some sort of value or network. They majorly focuses to
convert to move from existing to new market. Disruptive innovation is generally depicts
to provide low scale performances while enhance good enough to satisfy customer to
better appeal different market instead (Kijkasiwat and Phuensane., 2020). For example.
Radio transition is innovate concept which enhance low performance and worse quality
compared to large existing ones. Sustaining innovation is refers about kind of innovation
which having presence in present competitive automotive market and creating new values
networks for rather improves to develop in previous ones.
 Radical vs Incremental Innovation: It refers about new technology where completely
disrupts that existing business or economy and forms better business model. In other term
Incremental innovation depicts about to create better series of small gradually to better
built improvement towards existing product and process to monitor competitive position
in certain period of time (Chae and et. al., 2020). This theory of innovation is most cost
effective for better implement. Innovation Matrix: To define the mentioned dimension and to better demonstrate where
four term are combined to highlight innovation Matrix. The matrix is demonstrate for
four kind of innovation matrix to elaborates in market and product perspective:
Radically disruptive: Innovation is term that depict to control new technology mechanism for
generating new business model.
Radically sustaining: The improvement scope on product process in existing where market
values provides to more customer.
Incrementally disruptive: An incremental improvement in technology that leads towards
dramatic disruption.
2

Incrementally sustaining: it refers about small cumulative changes in an existing product
technology or service.
The use of innovation matrix is to mainly classify for the initiatives for innovation within
portfolio.
 Architectural vs Modular innovation: The Architectural innovation is emphasis about
reconfiguration of existing product technologies where core competent of product remain
same the relationship between these components changes (Kraśnicka., Głód and Wronka-
Pośpiech., 2018). Modular Innovation is an exact towards opposites. In modular
innovation, there is one or more components about product is changed while overall
design at similar portion.
