The current ever-changing and increasingly connected world demands taking an amplified approach to Innovation.
The conventional method of Innovating locally and distributing the product or service globally is now being questioned more and more. Effortless availability of unparalleled knowledge, essential to Innovate, is one key factor in bringing the traditional approach into question.
New approaches are now necessitated in order to take full advantage of the vast array of knowledge easily available across the globe. There are 3 approaches that are preferred more than others:
Even though these approaches attempt to address the subject in non-identical ways, the final purpose continues to be no different—i.e. infusing a global Innovation Culture.
The slide deck also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
This PPT delves into the intricacies of Global Innovation, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach between Knowledge Complexity and Global Dispersion. The Staying Approach focuses on total immersion in the local environment to cultivate high-quality networks and relationships. However, it acknowledges that some companies may not gain the desired traction despite prolonged presence in a location. Local partnerships are highlighted as essential for further networking, regardless of the company's length of presence.
The Visiting Approach advocates for maintaining a distance to avoid the decline in innovative thinking. This method leverages the Knowledge-Information Broker to gather insights from multiple sources, combining local and global perspectives. The theory of Strength of Weak Ties is applied to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and innovation. This approach is particularly effective in scenarios where a diverse set of information is required to drive innovation on a global scale.
The Inviting Approach is based on the company's strength in efficiency and resources, inviting experts to the organization instead of sending teams abroad. This method is not limited to large corporations, but is also applicable to businesses in developing countries. The Attention Based View is used to ensure constant growth in capabilities, leveraging eye-catching messages to attract global talent. This approach is often employed by Second Mover companies aiming to catch up with industry leaders.

This PPT slide presents an overview of the "Visiting Approach," which is also referred to as the "Travel approach." This methodology emphasizes the importance of maintaining a certain distance from a location to foster better thinking and innovation. The core argument is that complete immersion in a specific environment can hinder creative processes and innovative thinking.
Key points highlight the adverse effects of being fully involved in a location, suggesting that this immersion can lead to a decline in innovative capabilities. The slide suggests that understanding this approach is facilitated through the lens of Network theory, which provides a framework for analyzing how distance can impact thought processes.
Theories mentioned indicate that retaining some level of distance allows individuals to merge their perspectives with local insights, thus enhancing the flow of knowledge, information, and expertise from various regions. This cross-pollination of ideas is crucial for innovation, as it enables the integration of diverse viewpoints and experiences.
The role of the knowledge-information broker is emphasized, positioning this figure as essential in navigating the complexities of local and global innovation. By acting as a conduit for information, these brokers help bridge gaps between different locales, ensuring that valuable insights are shared effectively.
Overall, the Visiting Approach is portrayed as a strategic method for leveraging local innovation on a global scale. It advocates for a balanced perspective that values both distance and connection, ultimately aiming to enhance innovative outcomes.
This PPT slide presents a framework for understanding the relationship between autonomy and control in the context of global innovation. It highlights a perceived trade-off that organizations face when trying to balance local autonomy with the need for centralized control. The left side of the slide emphasizes local innovation, characterized by high autonomy, but limited information-sharing with headquarters. This can lead to isolated freedom, where local units operate independently, but may lack alignment with broader organizational goals.
On the right side, global innovation is depicted as requiring increased information connectivity with headquarters. This shift allows for better alignment and resource sharing, but comes at the cost of local autonomy. The graph illustrates this dynamic, showing that as information connectivity increases, the degree of local autonomy tends to decrease. The terms "Isolated Freedom," "Connected Freedom," "Semi-Connected Freedom," and "Connected Control" are used to categorize different states of autonomy and control.
The slide suggests that leadership at headquarters often believes that greater delegation of autonomy to local units can lead to misalignment with strategic objectives. This insight is crucial for executives considering how to structure their innovation efforts globally. The balance between autonomy and control is not merely a logistical decision; it impacts the overall effectiveness of innovation strategies. Understanding this trade-off can help organizations make informed decisions about how to manage their global innovation initiatives effectively.
This PPT slide presents the concept of the "Attention Based View," emphasizing its role in driving growth for medium-sized, second-mover companies. It outlines how these firms can enhance their capabilities by consistently utilizing eye-catching messages. The text indicates that through this approach, companies can gradually increase their visibility in the market. This visibility is crucial as it allows them to attract attention from other entities, which can serve as a foundation for future growth.
The central idea revolves around the notion that persistent and conspicuous messaging can lead to an eventual breakthrough in recognition, even if the company has not previously achieved significant successes. This strategy appears to be particularly relevant for firms that may not have the same resources or brand recognition as larger competitors. The visual elements on the slide, including the circular arrangement of blue shapes, likely symbolize the interconnectedness of various capabilities or messages that contribute to this growth trajectory.
The slide also hints at the broader implications of this approach, suggesting that successful innovators leverage their capabilities to develop and manufacture innovative products or services. This indicates a strategic focus on not just gaining attention,, but also on translating that attention into tangible outcomes. The overall message is clear: by adopting the Attention Based View, companies can position themselves effectively in the market, enhancing their growth potential through strategic messaging and capability development.
This PPT slide outlines 3 distinct approaches to global innovation strategy: Staying, Visiting, and Inviting. Each approach addresses how organizations can effectively engage with innovation in diverse environments.
The Staying Approach emphasizes total immersion in the local environment. This method suggests that companies should deeply integrate into the local culture and market dynamics to foster innovation. By being present and actively participating, organizations can better understand local needs and preferences, which can lead to more relevant and impactful innovations.
The Visiting Approach, on the other hand, advocates for a more detached engagement. It highlights the importance of keeping a distance while still observing and learning from the local environment. This approach allows companies to gather insights without fully immersing themselves, which can be beneficial in situations where a lighter touch is preferred or necessary.
Lastly, the Inviting Approach focuses on attracting external expertise to the company. This method involves leveraging outside knowledge and skills to enhance innovation efforts. By inviting experts into the organization, companies can access new ideas and perspectives that may not be available internally.
The slide also notes that while these approaches differ in execution, they share a common objective: to effectively implement innovation globally. Understanding these methods can help organizations choose the right strategy based on their specific circumstances and goals. The content serves as a valuable framework for executives looking to navigate the complexities of global innovation.
This PPT slide focuses on the importance of overcoming ethnocentric thinking when pursuing global innovation. It emphasizes that diversity is crucial for successfully taking innovation to a global scale. The content outlines 2 primary strategies for integrating an ethnocentric philosophy into global operations.
The first strategy involves placing a local manager at the center of operations who possesses a cosmopolitan outlook. This approach aims to mitigate biases that may arise from a singular cultural perspective. The text suggests that having a diverse workforce, particularly one that includes non-Japanese employees alongside a Japanese manager with a global background, can eliminate ethnocentric biases. This model highlights the significance of maintaining local roots while embracing a broader, more inclusive perspective.
The second strategy advocates for a diverse board composition, incorporating both local and foreign members who share a global viewpoint. This diversity in leadership is portrayed as essential for fostering an international mindset, which is vital for navigating the complexities of global markets. The slide indicates that possessing a global mentality among board members can enhance decision-making and innovation.
The concluding note mentions that research has shown a connection between diversity and innovation, reinforcing the idea that a diverse knowledge base is fundamental to driving innovative outcomes. This slide serves as a critical reminder for organizations looking to expand globally that embracing diversity and overcoming ethnocentric tendencies are not just beneficial, but necessary for successful innovation on a global scale.
This PPT slide outlines the necessity for a dynamic and global approach to fostering a culture of innovation within organizations. It begins by emphasizing the rapidly changing and interconnected nature of today’s world, which demands a more amplified strategy towards innovation. The traditional method of innovating locally and then distributing products or services globally is increasingly being scrutinized. The text highlights that the easy access to a wealth of knowledge is crucial for innovation and challenges the conventional practices.
Three preferred approaches to innovation are introduced: Staying Approach, Visiting Approach, and Inviting Approach. Each of these methods aims to address the integration of a global innovation culture, albeit in different ways. The slide suggests that while the approaches may vary, their ultimate goal remains consistent—infusing a culture of innovation across the organization.
Additionally, the slide mentions that the accompanying slide deck includes templates for presentations, which can be beneficial for executives looking to implement these strategies in their own business contexts. This practical aspect adds value, as it provides tools for immediate application.
Overall, the slide serves as a call to action for executives to rethink their innovation strategies in light of global interconnectedness and to consider adopting new methodologies that leverage the vast knowledge available worldwide. The focus on a global perspective is crucial for staying relevant and competitive in today's market.
This PPT slide emphasizes the critical role of local partnerships in enhancing networking opportunities, irrespective of a company's duration of presence in a specific location. It introduces the concept of "Status Entrepreneurship," which is particularly relevant when localization is the primary strategy. The text suggests that a company’s operational history in a region does not guarantee market penetration success. Instead, the ability to connect with a partner who is well-established at the center of the local network is crucial.
The visual component illustrates a strategy focused on local innovation, depicting a central entity connected to various peripheral nodes. This representation highlights the importance of collaboration and the potential for innovation that arises from these local partnerships. The central node symbolizes a partner that can facilitate access to a broader network, which is essential for driving innovation and market engagement.
The slide also notes that while a potential partner may possess significant capabilities, a lack of motivation for global innovation can hinder progress. This insight underscores the necessity of not just having the right partners, but also ensuring they are aligned in their goals and aspirations. The overall message is clear: successful market engagement hinges on strategic local partnerships that foster collaboration and innovation, regardless of how long a company has been in the area. This perspective is vital for executives looking to optimize their market strategies and enhance their operational effectiveness.
