...CLOUD COMPUTING DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION Managing Technology and Innovations Date: 30 March, 2016 Shireesha Sudhakar Manchal 152093 MIB 39 A 1 Disruptive Innovation – Cloud Computing “A disruptive innovation is an innovation which creates a new market as well as a new value network that will eventually disrupt an existing market and its value network, displacing established market leaders and alliances”. The term was coined and analyzed by Mr. Clayton M. Christensen beginning in 1995. It is the term that is used to describe a new technology that has a vivid effect towards the competitive existing incumbent firms. This kind of innovation is a hybrid of both technological and market innovations which make old technologies obsolete. It is a technology based on new- value structure which provide value experience for new low-end customers in a highly competitive market which later spreads to the incumbent market as well. By utilizing this kind of innovation, the already existing markets will be forced to modify their strategies to suit the new innovation and hence will result in those companies having to undergo a lot more changes to both try and crush the old technology with a more advanced one as well as to try and adapt this technology in their business successfully. Let us take the example of Cloud Computing which uses a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, and which does not...

...DARE TO DISRUPT!! DARE TO DISRUPT!! Theme: Means to tackle disruptive innovation Name: Prasun Kumar Das PGPM Participant, Batch 1114 Information Management S. P. Jain Institute of Management & Research Mobile - +91 7506793925 DISRUPTION – The New Age Competitive Strategy Everything is fair in love and war; and competition in a business environment is like a cold war. Innovation has always been the major strategy used by businesses around the world to stay competitive. The traditional paradigm of innovation was to improve the performance of the existing technology, thereby steeping up the performance trajectory. However, value creation for customers may be much simpler than high performing technology. There is always a threshold level till which customers can absorb and appreciate which the traditional paradigm fails to address. This has lead to a gradual shift in paradigm, over the last five decades, from a continuous performance improvement to that of something called ‘Disruption’. Clayton Christensen coined this term and today it has become a big buzzword. He identified ‘Disruptive Innovation’ as a product or service, so compelling in nature that everyone rapidly abandons their current way of doing things to this new approach. IT has been the big enabler of this disruption. The fundamental aspect of disruption is to use the right benchmark, which becomes additive with time. When that happens, we find entire product lines – even the whole market...

...Disruptive Business Model The word Disruptive is used when referring to surprising new entrants into an industry, new competitors with new technology and sudden competition coming from unlikely sources. It means in business and technology, that sudden changes occur to improve the product or service in different ways that the market does not expect. There are many companies which used to follow the old stream method for their business strategy, but if we have a look in recent years we can see that the companies those who comes along with new innovation and technology with a new ‘disruptive’ business plan, was able to make a disruption in the industry and was able to capture the market share from its competitors. There is also a correlation between disruptive business and disruptive innovation .It is often said that ‘innovation has something to do about being positively different from competitors’. It is about being different in a way customers love. Especially it works better in either ways when the economy is static or mild, or the market share is already captured –companies should find a different business model to disrupt the market in order to sustain or gain market share. For example –Southwest Airlines introduced LCC (low cost carrier) model which includes: * Flying one model of plane rather than several * A point to point route structure rather than having several stop over * One class of service rather than many * No meals, no assigned seating.

...Management Information Systems, 13E Laudon & Laudon Lecture Files by Barbara J. Ellestad Chapter 3 Information Systems, Organizations, and Strategy Chapter 3 describes how organizations and information systems work together, or sometimes against each other. The idea, of course, is to keep them in sync, but that’s not always possible. We’ll look at the nature of organizations and how they relate to information systems. 3.1 Organizations and Information Systems You could say that this chapter relies on the chicken-and-egg theory to develop a relationship between organizations and information systems. You need to design information systems that serve the existing organization. At the same time you must be ready and willing to restructure the organization to take advantage of the improvements an information system can offer. So which one takes precedent—the organization or the information system? Actually neither one. The goal is to adapt one to the other. What Is An Organization? An organization is very similar to the information system described in Chapter 1. Remember Figure 1-4 from Chapter 1? Compare it to Figure 3-2 in this chapter. [pic] [pic] Figure 3-2 The Technical Microeconomic Definition of the Organization These two figures have many things in common. Both information systems and organizations require inputs and some sort of processing, both have outputs, and both depend on feedback for successful completion...

...not only on the change but the whole process of change – starting from the introduction to the consolidation of change. Definitions of change: o As a society, we have been moving from old to the new. And we are still in motion. Caught between eras, we experience turbulence.' - JOHN NAISBETT Change is inevitable in the life of an organization. o According to Stephen P. Robbins- change is concerned with making things different. Things must be different because they change constantly. o Change can be defined as – when an organizational system is disturbed by some internal or external force, change frequently occurs. Change as a process, is simply modification of the structure or process of a system. It may be good or bad, the concept is descriptive only." Outside environment of the organization is ever changing, even socially and politically we are always on the move, looking for newer and better ways of doing things. The industrial revolution & shareholders and other stakeholders demand in an organization today also presses the organizations to move. Added to this, the globalization and inter-cultural exchange had made us even more susceptible to change than ever before. We are becoming increasingly expected to adopt new techniques, due to the fast additions & changes in technology and even in management theories and...

...was founded in 1968 by Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore with a business plan centered on developing semiconductor memory products. Alongside the founders, Andy Grove has also played a crucial role in the company’s success, as a scientist when the firm was set up and then as its President and COO in 1979, its CEO in 1987 and later as its Chairman. In 1971, Intel sustained its first significant change when the company entered the microprocessor market. Nowadays, Intel is dominating the microprocessor industry and is one of the most recognized brand names in the world. Based on an article from the online version of the Business Week magazine, I will study the organizational change that has taken place at Intel. Organizations in the technology industry like Intel must adapt to the changing market conditions and to the ever-rising customer expectations to maintain a preferred provider position. The key to successful adaptation is dependent on a manager's ability to direct change programs without worsening employee-felt stress. In Intel’s case, the external environment provides conditions for change, but an organization can change only when internal...

...three of these rules as the most critical to Sea Ray’s success. Sea Ray must operate in fundamentally different ways when forming an innovation experiment to avoid organizational memory. The success of the experiments will hinge more on experimentation than the initial strategy used. Sea Ray then must not base success on financial performance, but on the ability to learn and adapt. Formal pathways which are currently being used for innovation will be assessed and characterized. Using this pathway data, new modern opportunities will be discussed in order to make Sea Ray more innovation friendly. Sea Ray will also use human resource data instead of research and development data to track and measure their success. Finally, an innovation committee will be formed to manage innovation across Sea Ray.

...SURVEY: NEW MEDIA Among the audience The era of mass media is giving way to one of personal and participatory media, says Andreas Kluth. That will profoundly change both the media industry and society as a whole [pic] Apr 20th 2006 | From The Economist print edition THE next big thing in 1448 was a technology called “movable type”, invented for commercial use by Johannes Gutenberg, a goldsmith from Mainz (although the Chinese had thought of it first). The clever idea was to cast individual letters (type) and then compose (move) these to make up printable pages. This promised to disrupt the mainstream media of the day—the work of monks who were manually transcribing texts or carving entire pages into wood blocks for printing. By 1455 Mr Gutenberg, having lined up venture capital from a rich compatriot, Johannes Fust, was churning out bibles and soon also papal indulgences (slips of paper that rich people bought to reduce their time in purgatory). The start-up had momentum, but its costs ran out of control and Mr Gutenberg defaulted. Mr Fust foreclosed, and a little bubble popped. Even so, within decades movable type spread across Europe, turbo-charging an information age called the Renaissance. Martin Luther, irked by those indulgences, used printing presses to produce bibles and other texts in German. Others followed suit, and vernaculars rose as Latin declined, preparing Europe for nation-states. Religious and aristocratic elites first tried to stop, then control...
