3. Figure 6.2 The S-shaped curve of innovation

4. Figure 6.3The Henderson–Clark model

5. Figure 6.4 The innovation activity as a process

6. Figure 6.5 Delay in time-to-market of new innovations not only reduces and delays revenues, it also increases the costs of development. The combination of both of these effects usually delays the financial break-even point far more than the delay in the launch

7. Figure 6.6 The stages in a typical innovation process and the design funnel effect –progressively reducing the number of possibilities until the final design is reached

9. Figure 6.8 The relationship between innovation resource utilisation, innovation process throughput time and innovation process variability

10. Figure 6.9 Some implications of the in-house–outsourced continuum

12. Figure 6.11 The degree of strategic intervention in the innovation process is often dictated by the need to resolve outstanding conflicts rather than the needs of the innovation process itself
