Management of Technological Innovation 3rd Edition Ch10 Organizing for Innova...InnovationManagement
?
The document discusses the relationship between size, structure, and innovation in organizations, particularly focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of larger firms in research and development. It highlights how structural dimensions such as formalization, standardization, and centralization affect innovation outcomes. The concept of an ambidextrous organization, which balances different operational structures to foster innovation, is also presented.
The document discusses the innovation patterns of Honda and Toyota regarding hybrid electric vehicles, highlighting their different strategies in technology licensing and market performance. It outlines various types of innovation, including product vs. process innovation and competence enhancing vs. competence destroying innovation. Additionally, it examines technology S-curves and diffusion of innovations, emphasizing the cyclical nature of technological change and its implications for firms in competitive markets.
Honda had a record of developing environmentally-friendly vehicles and manufacturing processes. It introduced its first hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) in Japan in 1997. HEVs increase fuel efficiency and decrease emissions without needing to be plugged in. Honda chose a different hybrid engine design than Toyota. It did not collaborate or license its technology, wanting to maintain independence. However, Toyota engaged in both and sold almost three times as many HEVs. Honda was also developing fuel-cell vehicles, though they would take longer to commercialize.
Abgenix faced a decision about how to develop an antibody called ABX-EGF that showed promise for treating cancer. It could license the antibody to a pharmaceutical company, pursue a joint venture with a biotech company, or develop it alone. Collaboration provides benefits like accessing skills and resources, reducing costs and risks, and learning from partners. However, it also means sharing control and rewards and potential issues with partners. Firms must consider their capabilities, need to protect their technology, and strategic objectives when deciding between solo development or collaboration.

創新的類型一:產品 vs. 流程
? 產品創新:具體表現在組織的產出中-產品或
服務;如:本田汽車開發新油電混合車。
? 流程創新:組織執行業務方式的創新,如生產
或行銷產品與服務的技術;經常以降低不良率
或提升單位時間生產量來改善生產效率與效能。
? 新流程可能促使新產品的產生,新產品也能促
成新流程的發展。

創新的類型二:激進式 vs. 漸進式
? 激進式創新:非常新穎且不同於先前解決
方案的創新,通常是新知識的體現,有時
以「風險」來定義;如:3G手機的發展。
? 漸進式創新:針對既有工作進行相對較小
的改變或調整;如:手機的外露式鍵盤變
成加蓋式鍵盤。
? 創新的激進性是相對的;如:蒸氣機的發
明。

創新的類型三:能力強化 vs. 能力摧毀
? 能力強化創新:建立在既有知識與技巧上
的創新;如:每一代的Intel微處理器。
? 能力摧毀創新:使既有知識與技巧成為過
時的創新;如:手持計算機摧毀計算尺規。
? 一個創新可以同時是一家公司的能力強化,
也可以是另一家公司的能力摧毀。

創新的類型四:結構性 vs. 元件
? 結構式創新:改變整個系統設計或元件
彼此互動方式的創新;如:高輪腳踏車
轉變到安全性較高腳踏車。
? 元件創新:一個或多個元件的改變不會嚴
重影響整個系統架構的創新;如:腳踏車
椅墊技術的創新。
? 公司必須了解零件的連結與整合方式,以
形成整個系統的結構性知識。

科技S型曲線:科技改善
? 初期緩慢:對科技本質
了解較少,投入大量心
力和花費。
? 中期上升:對科技有較
深入了解,開始加速改
善。
? 後期趨緩:科技開始到達極限時,每單位的邊際
改善成本增加。

問題
1. 什麼原因造成公司可能抗拒採用新的科技?
2. 產業之變遷與其技術生命週期
(technology life cycle)有關。請問影響技
術生命週期長短的主要因素為何?
