    Innovation Case

    #Words: 399 Question 1: Originally, Zongshen sold engines for motorcycles which were mainly knock-offs Japanese motorcycle engines. As the Chinese government lowered its restrictions Zongshen also began to sell actual motorcycles. Since the produced motorcycles were low quality copies of the Japanese ones, most of the Chinese manufacturers were also able to make them. The lack of product differentiation encouraged Zongshen to follow a low price strategy. However, after Zuo Zongshen the chairman and CEO of the company read the “Blue Ocean Strategy”, he figured out the company should not only be selling low margin products on “red ocean” markets. Zuo Zongshen therefore made the decision to stop the launching of Japanese-like low quality motorcycles and to develop a whole new motorcycle, thus following the path of differentiation. Imitation Imitation products are quite often Me-Too products, meaning that the producing company is trying to copy a specific good which is already on the market. In this case, the Chinese motorcycle manufacturers are trying to do so with Japanese motorcycles. For imitators it is quite essential that the production costs drop to a minimum so that they can sell their products following a low price strategy. They usually have low R&D expenditures due to specific measures such as reverse engineering. Furthermore they have an advantage over innovators: information about the market structure and the customer needs is already available. Since the market need for a product is established when an imitator launches his lines, it is easier for the latter to sell its product since…

    Disruptive Innovation

    Continuous Casting Investments at USX Corporation is a case involving a large, established mining and steelmaking company that after almost 80 years of existence is deciding whether to go forward with a $600 million dollar investment to upgrade its Mon Valley steel facility. From its founding in 1901 through the 1970’s the company dominated the steel industry. In the 1980’s USX was hit hard by poor economic conditions and higher manufacturing costs. In addition, “minimills” which had previously not been a competitive factor for USX, obtained cost advantages and began competing heavily with integrated mills such as USX. USX responded by closing or selling eight of inefficient facilities and restructuring its remaining manufacturing facilities to focus on hot-and-cold rolled sheet, strip and tin products rather than a larger range of products which it had done in the past. Additionally, USX invested over $2 billion to improve its processes to become one of the, if not the, most efficient steel manufacturer in the world by improving labor efficiency from 11 man hours per ton (mhpt) to just 3 mhpt. As described above, in the 1980’s USX made many large investments to improve its efficiency and remain competitive in the market and a market leader, primarily as a low cost producer of high quality sheet and strip steel. For example, it invested $800 million and $200 million at two facilities, respectively, in the early 1980’s to launch continuous slab caster and hot-rolling mills. Nonetheless, the Company was in a mature market and competition was increasing. Although USX was an unquestionable market leader for 80 years, like so many well established companies, by the 1980’s and early 1990’s would need to further increase innovation if it was to be in the 10% of companies that would continue to grow consistently over the next 10 years. USX would soon find itself in a position to…
