Innovation Strategy ?
An innovation strategy is a plan to grow market share or profits through
product and service innovation
When it comes to creating the solution, an innovation strategy must also
indicate whether a product improvement, or a disruptive or breakthrough
innovation approach is best
An innovation strategy is about creating winning products, which means
products that are in an attractive market, target a profitable customer
segment, address the right unmet needs, and help customers get a job done
better than any competing solution
