The Innovation Strategy Management Study of High Technology Industry in Taiwan COMPEQ Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

Lai, Chung-Hsiao 22 August 2005 (has links)
The purpose of this research is to develop a methodical flowchart of the innovation opportunities, and issue an integrated innovation strategic planning and management by the analytic steps of the systematic strategy. The research is performed according to the following studies: 1. Relative theories & thesis of ¡§Technology Management¡¨, ¡¨Strategic Management¡¨, ¡¨Innovation Management¡¨as the bases of my study. 2. A traditional ¡§Opportunity, Motivation & Capability¡¨ behaviorism as the concept of my study. 3. The process approach of strategic planning & management as the processes of my study. 4. The total analysis of external & internal environment conditions as the scope of my study. And we try to find some innovation opportunities and the relative innovation strategies through the case study by the above flowchart & model. Wish to offer Taiwan technology industries and companies one new strategic planning of innovation domain, and another view of corporation business. The thesis selects Taiwan PCB maker ¡V COMPEQ Manufacturing Co., Ltd. as the subject of our studies to evaluate the reasonablness of the thesis. And the major finding of this study conclusions & results as follow: 1. Facing the strong threat from China, Keeping technology, product, and marketing competitive competence would be the better solution of Taiwan PCB industry in future. Taiwan PCB makers must move toward the trend of ¡§Focus your manufacturing, but also value your research & development more¡¨. And also these companies must recognize ¡§Manufacturing Power¡¨ is not only Taiwan PCB company strength any longer. 2. The corporation growth and survival don¡¦t just need the competitive competence of technology, product, and marketing only. At all times and in all countries, the ¡¨human error¡¨is the major key factor, absolutely forces all kinds of human organization into degeneration and dying. So corporations should be more careful to prevent human error. 3. Innovation is the key to a successful corporation. It is everywhere, and at anytime but it is not easy to find. But innovation has some risks. Successful innovation in the corporation does not only require ¡§Time¡¨, ¡¨Place¡¨, ¡§Support of the People¡¨, but also need a final & important key ¡V the CEOs and all of employees do it together.

The Art and Science of Discontinuous Innovation: A Case Study in Product Reinvention

Smoot, Daniel C 20 March 2006 (has links) (PDF)
Divergence of new and old technologies is a source of tremendous innovation potential. As the dizzying pace of technological innovation accelerates indefinitely into tomorrow, not only do new paths diverge exponentially; doors already opened are increasingly abandoned for the allure of things undiscovered. Mature, late-stage life-cycle products left behind in today's fast-paced world open the floodgates to reinvention. This paper tests the hypothesis that innovativeness can be encouraged through the learning and application of universal innovation principles and processes. The implications of this research area are far-reaching. If innovation can be encouraged, then it can likely be taught. If it can be taught, then it can be systematized. More pervasive systematic innovation will accelerate change in the world. Individuals and organizations that master this kind of innovation will gain tremendous competitive advantages. The more people innovate, the more opportunities to innovate there will be. Creativity begets creativity. The microcosm studied in this thesis -- that of discontinuous innovation applied to mature products -- underscores the promise of potential far grander. If innovators, whether in small businesses or large corporations, seeking to capitalize on existing products with proven demand can combine innovation with iteration to consistently produce value for product stakeholders, what could they do to disrupt products as we know them? How many new product categories would emerge? Finally, if ordinary people everywhere began seeing themselves as and acting like innovators, what would stop any of us from changing the world? This paper distills existing and original theories of innovation into a new model called Innovation Harmony. The Innovation Harmony model details four crucial aspects of innovation, which are 1) Harmonize the views of stakeholders, 2) Understand the principles of innovation, 3) Create a creative environment, and 4) Apply the principles of innovation (follow a methodology). The paper concludes with a summary of a case study conducted at Brigham Young University, wherein 17 students attempted to reinvent the conventional Waffle Iron in a controlled environment. Their innovations are presented in the Appendix. Relevant analysis and recommendations are discussed in conclusion.
