If a market is ready for innovation then it is important to choosing the right time to adopt this innovation as a company. In the summary innovation management Erasmus University Rotterdam, the adoption of innovation is clarified using an important concept: the 'adoption life cycle'. Is the product currently ripe for only the 'innovators' or even before the 'early adopters'?

In addition, the summary discusses innovation adoption at the individual level.

Summary innovation management Erasmus Rotterdam - Key concept 3: Innovation strategy

This core concept fortunately involves somewhat less abstract concepts as the previous core concept and is more focused on practice. However, this does not mean that it is less important; the right strategy in innovation is important for success. Within this core concept, it is mainly about two topics the 'technology life cycle' and disruptive innovations. First, therefore, the technology life cycle, again a cycle. This can be used to see what stage the technology is in. Meanwhile, is the technology of the phone in the 'growth' phase or in the 'maturity'? If you misjudge the phase of a product, you can make completely the wrong choices as a company. In Reken Maar's summary, these phases are clearly explained using recognisable examples. It also clearly explains what disruptive innovations are and how best to deal with them.

Summary Innovation management Erasmus Rotterdam - Key concept 4: Portfolio management

 

Portfolio management builds on the knowledge you gained from the core concept of innovation strategies. Within the concept of protfolio management, it is about the choices of whether or not to take on a project or innovation. Earlier, you obviously looked at whether it is the right time for the innovation, but this concept is mainly about combining it with other projects you have within your own company. You can compare it to the purchasing policy of a football club. If you already have a good striker it might not be necessary to get another one. After all, the chances of them scoring many goals together are not very high. The summary innovation management Erasmus University Rotterdam clearly explains how to choose the right innovations to develop using the 'innovation funnel'.

Summary innovation management Erasmus Rotterdam - Key concept 5: Implementation, teams and networks

Having looked at whether the innovation itself is ripe for the market and whether it actually fits within the company, it is time to implement the innovation. Part of this concept is the ''stage gate model'. This model consists of the following stages:

-        Stage 0: Discovery Stage

-        Stage 1: Scoping

-        Stage 2: Build business case

-        Stage 3: Development stage

-        Stage 4: Testing & validation

-        Stage 5: Launch

 

Using these stages, various innovations are eventually developed into actual products or services. Besides the direct implementation of innovations, this concept looks at teams and networks and how to deal with them in the context of innovations.
