    The Break Through Dilemmas

    Uploaded by

    balu4indians
    This document discusses breakthroughs, technology adoption curves, and innovation phases. It provides the following key points: 1. Breakthroughs take people by surprise by doing something most thought was impossible through new scientific or engineering insights. 2. Technologies follow an S-curve of adoption with early adapters, rapid growth, maturity, and eventual decline as replacement technologies emerge. 3. Innovation occurs in phases from borrowing knowledge, to internalization in corporate research, to specialization, routinization, and eventual renewal for new breakthroughs to sustain business. 4. While institutions focus on routine business, this optimization can create "breakthrough dilemmas" that get in the way of creating new breakthroughs.

    Break through:
    Breakthrough take people by surprise. They
    are events, arising from scientific or
    engineering insights.

    They are called “breakthrough” because they


    do something that most people did not realize
    was possible.
    Technology adaption
    curves:

    Video cassette recorder & video tape rental
    business;
    Invention-1950.
    Sony would unveiled recorder for home use-1964.
    At that time copy right challenges.
    Rental market grew-1980.
    Vcr business declining-1990.
    After dvds,came along, network enabled DVD
    mailing services(eg-NETFLIX) appeared by 2002.they
    reached about 600000 customers.
    Trouble at the top:
    Many these technologies aren’t going away
    ,but their period of high profitability & rapid
    growth seems to be over.

    Scientific knowledge base for innovation is


    created by basic research, largely at
    universities but new technologies are created
    mainly at corporate research centers.
    IBM research created generations of magnetic
    storage technology and practical databases.

    Phase model:explanation
    1.borrowing-borrow the initial knowledge
    &practices from university.
    2.internalization-companies hire scientist &
    engineer from university & invest in research to
    develop products in future.
    3.Institutionalization-industry sets up its own
    central research laboratory.
    4.specialization-researchers no longer dont want
    to rely on external sources of knowledge.
    5.routinization-companies focus on improving
    their current products.

    Renewal phase-for retain their business
    after their saturation, company will recognize
    a need for breakthroughs.
    The breakthrough
    dilemma's:
    Business, educational institution & govt
    funding agencies are all individual in break
    through’s , but most of their attention is
    necessarily devoted to routine business rather
    than break through.
    By optimizing their routine, these institution
    can create barriers that get in the way of
    creating breakthroughs. We call these barriers
    the break through dilemmas.
