38. internationalization and localization

39. Whirlpool’s Opportunity • Unmet Customer Need: Household appliances designed for single people • Orthodoxy: • Dishwashers are big boxes that sit under the kitchen work surface neat the sink. • Why shouldn’t a dishwasher be more like a microwave oven – very small, very compact, very fast? • Core Competence: designing, producing, and marketing low-cost, high-quality appliances.

40. Whirlpool’s Response • Briva: a mini, high-speed dishwasher that could be integrated on one side of a double-tub sink, saving a lot of space in the kitchen. • Specifically designed for small loads. • Completes a cycle in about 15 minutes. • Top-loading so its lid comes down and doubles as a drainer or a chopping-board surface. • When not in use, the whole wash mechanism can even be lifted out to provide a fully functional second sink.

44. CREATIVITY VERSUS INNOVATIONhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7Ny5BYc-Fs CREATIVITY There is no specific outcome desired Creative endeavors may or may not result in practical outcomes INNOVATION Creative solutions to a problem The intent is for innovation to lead to a practical outcomes, although perhaps not immediately.

45. Who are the stakeholders of innovation? I.e. who can impact or is impacted by organizational innovation?

46. Innovation Complexities Effective innovations start small. They are not grandiose. They try to do one specific thing. It may be to enable a moving vehicle to draw electric power while it runs along rails – the innovation that makes possible the electric streetcar. Or it may be as elementary as putting the same number of matches into a matchbox (it used to be fifty), which made possible the automatic filling of matchboxes and gave the Swedish originators of the idea a world monopoly on matches for almost half a century. Grandiose ideas, plans that aim at revolutionizing an industry, are unlikely to work. Peter Drucker • Is there such a thing as a completely new idea? A completely new innovation? • Tucker (and others) argues that all organizations must innovate and innovation must be everyone’s responsibility within the organization. Do you agree? Are there situations in which being innovative is in fact detrimental? Or at least, would not enhance business performance?
