Datta Meghe Institute of Management Studies Defining Innovation “ INNOVATION IS DEFINED AS A PROCESS BY WHICH VARYING DEGREE OF MEASURABLE VALUE ENHANCEMENT IS PLANNED AND ACHIEVED, IN ANY COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY. THIS PROCESS MAY BE BREAKTHROUGH OR INCREMENTAL, AND IT MAY OCCUR SYSTEMATICALLY IN A COMPANY OR SPORADICALLY; IT MAY BE ACHIEVED BY : INTRODUCING NEW OR IMPROVED GOODS OR SERVICES AND/OR IMPLEMENTING NEW OR IMPROVED OPERATIONAL PROCESSES AND/OR IMPLEMENTING NEW OR IMPROVED ORGANISATIONAL/MANAGERIAL PROCESSES IN ORDER TO IMPROVE MARKET SHARE, COMPETITIVENESS AND QUALITY, WHILE REDUCING COSTS ( National Knowledge Commission) “ INNOVATION IS DEFINED AS A PROCESS BY WHICH VARYING DEGREE OF MEASURABLE VALUE ENHANCEMENT IS PLANNED AND ACHIEVED, IN ANY COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY.

Datta Meghe Institute of Management Studies New Challenge A company manufactures glassware. The last step of the process is to wrap glasses individually in used newspapers and then place them in a specially designed box. The box is then sealed. Management notices low productivity with this last step, observing that workers occasionally stop to read the newspapers? What can management do to increase productivity?

Datta Meghe Institute of Management Studies Relevance to Globalization In a rapidly changing global world, managers must use all their abilities to anticipate opportunities and threats

Datta Meghe Institute of Management Studies Future Visions of the Auto Industry Fuel injections will require much less gas Need for lean production There will be need for small autos to serve utilitarian mass markets There will be more women drivers in Europe and Asia Emotions will be used to promote products Increased speed limits More roads will be needed Fuel injections will require much less gas Need for lean production There will be need for small autos to serve utilitarian mass markets There will be more women drivers in Europe and Asia Emotions will be used to promote products Increased speed limits More roads will be needed

Datta Meghe Institute of Management Studies Future Visions of the Food Industry This is a recession-proof industry with very slim profit margins We see segmentation of markets and niche development Many consumers/nations leapfrog to the latest trends rather than following a particular development process The natural environment is increasingly important Computer technology linking suppliers gets food to market at a lower price In Western countries there is a trend toward less cooking in the home This is a recession-proof industry with very slim profit margins We see segmentation of markets and niche development Many consumers/nations leapfrog to the latest trends rather than following a particular development process The natural environment is increasingly important Computer technology linking suppliers gets food to market at a lower price In Western countries there is a trend toward less cooking in the home
