Technological Newness Invention v/s Innovation • Invention is a part of innovation whereas innovation goes beyond the laboratories and requires conversions. • One invention may lead to one or more innovations. • The conversion process of innovation may be quite separate from the invention. • Different people at different times to different degree
Technology forecasting • The difficulty in predicting a breakthrough • The time lag between invention and innovation • Interrelationships among technologies which activate development • Uncertainties regarding the diffusion of new technologies
Managing R & D • Offensive • Defensive • License • Interstitial • Acquisition
EYE TRIBE • Eye Tribe: Eye tracking has been actively discussed by technology enthusiasts throughout these years, but it’s really challenging to implement. But Eye Tribe actually did this. They successfully created the technology to allow you to control your tablet, play flight simulator, and even slice fruits in Fruit Ninja only with your eye movements. • It’s basically taking the common eye-tracking technology and combining it with a front-facing camera plus some serious computer-vision algorithm, and voila, fruit slicing done with the eyes!
Market Newness • NO Technological Change – New Use • Improved Technology – Market Extension • New Technology - Diversification
Classic Examples • Teflon Coating
Jet Engine + Metallurgy • Fat Kill Injection
Dairy Milk Shots • Oreo Shake
