What's the most important thing to enjoy results from Open Innovation?TAKA KONDO
?
Open innovation involves solving problems using both an organization's internal resources as well as external resources from other companies, startups, universities, and research institutes. The most important aspect of open innovation is identifying the right problem to solve. Figuring out the concrete vision and sharing it with partners is also key. Once the right problem is identified, an organization can lead the process of connecting different resources to develop an innovative solution. For consumer businesses, properly identifying user needs and problems in an era of globalization is an important challenge that open innovation can help address.
A thought on "Review" - Why people do review?TAKA KONDO
?
This document discusses why people write product reviews online. It suggests that many see reviews as a fun hobby, as blogging was in the early 2000s. However, most blogs became inactive quickly due to lack of readers. Review sites created a win-win situation where reviewers could share their experiences and consumers could learn about products, keeping reviewers engaged. The author proposes that writing reviews provides an outlet for personal publishing and a way to be read by others.
The document contains quotes from founders and CEOs of successful companies criticizing traditional market research and instead advocating for creating new products that fulfill needs people may not realize they have or want until they are shown. The quotes suggest that market research does not work for new products and that companies should focus on innovating and creating new things for customers rather than trying to give them what research says they want.
Market research is not always accurate and cannot predict the future. Several examples are given of market research failing to foresee successful innovations like the Walkman, New Coke, internet banking, camera phones, Twitter, and more. Customers often don't know their own needs and preferences for the future. Market research only provides information about current demands and opinions.
The document discusses the role and effectiveness of market research for new products. While market research can be useful for evaluating existing products and estimating production aspects, several founders of major companies argue that it does not work for creating truly innovative new products, as people may not know what they want until they see it. Market research is better suited for marketing, communications, and production planning rather than the initial creation of new product ideas. The document quotes several founders expressing skepticism about relying too heavily on market research for developing new products.

"Why Apple can create blockbusters?" ~ Re-think: Product PlanningTAKA KONDO
?
Many companies conduct product management without product planning.
They copy a product which is originally designed by other companies, and modify it.
They strive to survey technology/market trends and roadmaps from leading companies/giant research firms.
And they enhance the variety of functions and/or the numbers to make their spec table better.
They love to swim in the ‘red ocean’.
Apple is one of the companies which is carrying out product planning as well as product management.
It often enters the market very late, but re-creates the market itself.
Apple strives to understand what the user-experiences the customer looks for, values, and needs,
and re-invents the product category to make customers’ lifestyle better.
Apple loves to make her heart sing with her product.
