Innovation History
• Innovative solutions …1.English highways!2.The Gate tower building.
Types of Innovation
Types of innovation1. Creating new things.
2. Developing new things.
Types of innovators1. Manufacturer innovators.
2. End User innovators.
The innovation Process
"Innovation, like many business functions, is a management process that requires specific tools, rules,
and discipline."
Aspects of Innovation Management
Tech•Formation•Development•Implementation
Business
•Financing•Marketing•Selling
Technical Innovation Management
• Phases of the Innovation cycle
• Formation.• Crystallization.• Planning.
Formulation
• Technology Management• Testing and refinement.• Beta and standardization.
Development
• In-field implementation of the developed solutionsImplementation
• The innovation Process – Formulation

Can you identify ?1. Black Box testing.2. White Box testing.3. Validation Vs. Verification.4. Workbench.5. Alpha Vs. Beta Testing.6. Defect Cascading.7. Master Priority tables.
DilemmaIs innovation supply based or demand
led?
