It's a SMALL and beautiful world! - Team14

Thanks team iCatcher for sharing the wonderful information of nanotechnology with so many analysis. I have learnt a lot of knowledge about cosmetic I did not know before.

And about the analysis of core competencies as well as the strategic approach is quiet brilliant. Sustainable innovation development is pretty important for a industry. Maculate products may expel reputation and even dbemolish a brand. In nowadays, people are more and more cautious to select and use the commodities(like cosmetic and food) which may probably harm their health. That makes the related emerging technology be critical. However, I believe that the trend of innovation is overwhelming because afterall, emerging technologies are trying to benefit human being.

3D printing - Footwear Industry - Team 11

Thanks for sharing detailed information of 3D printing on footwear industry. Your article style is so brisk and reveals that the footwear is interesting indeed.

I used to think 3D printing can be used in considerable significant area but at this moment, you team let me clear that it exists everywhere in our life. Nike, this brand converge our memories and grows with us. The threats of 3D printing adoption in footwear is referred. Nike has been relying on 3D printing companies for development as well as manufacturing process too much. Different industries, different emerging technology result in different risks. For serious risk like Nike's, I think it is necessary to estimate the radical innovation before using it. Or Nike could slow their pace to entirely accept it. Step by step guarantees a well innovation and be benefit for suistainable development.

Cloud Computing – Book Industry > Name the company in your mind now – Amazon! - Team 1

Well done for talking so much about cloud computing with book industry. I like reading and I am so glad to see such a innovation for e-book.

I saw many comments above and they are a little rigorous. HaHa. Actually, Your team showed us a lot of analysis for core compentencies, provided a couple of funny video and recommendations are feasible. This emerging technology for Amazon enable not only buyers but also suppliers. The bargaining power of them boost the chain of customers as well as the book selection. It is an interaction among Amazion, buyers and supplier. It enhanced the relationships and even the quality of products. I think it is a nice business model.
And finally, after reading this introduction of Kindle, I feel like purchasing one. Could anyone stop me please!

Kodak, Advantix Preview - Team 1

Well done for illustration of the Kodak failure innovation. This case shows us that an ambiguous innovation is a doom for an industry which had to pay for that, even though Kodak was a leader in camera domain before. In my point of view, Kodak rather resisted the innovation under globalization than made a compensation to run after it, for Kodak's strategies at least. Kodak focused the photographic film too much. Therefore, in such a situation, only the ambiguous product innovation was not able to save the languished Kodak. It was not an innovation exactly. 

Finally, the research statistics are directly perceived and convictive. Many useful information can be learnt from them.

Nintendo: Please Keep the Ocean Clean - Team 8

I am so happy and excited to see substantial comments from who have the same childrenhood as mine. I liked Nintendo games very much when I was a child. 

Back to the topic, I definitely agree the analysis of the reasons why Virtual Boy innovation was failed. Nintendo used its inexperienced technology to make 3D graphic but it was not accepted by consumers. However, many of the innovations do not require tremendous experiences. Nintendo could not lead to a global revolution if every company got a great many experience. Nintendo's rivals Microsoft as well as Sony also made innovation in some domain without experience. 

Nintendo forecasted the globalization trend while Virtual Boy contributed to the development of mobile 3D game. However, what I thought is that Nintendo did not set up a accurate strategy in a muturity process of product's life cycle. Consumers found that they did not have wonderful play experience with the poor disign of Virtual Boy.In the recommendation part, to leverage brand strength beyond own hardware and to step up hardware innovation are quiet fabulous solutions for that.

Why Zapmail ulitimately went zapped - Team 3

Thanks for Big Bang Team's particular sharing on the fail of Fedex Zapmail. Many seccessful industries also fail in innovation, so does Fedex. Despite of the inaccurate market analysis and prediction, the lack of sufficient and complete pre-launch testing before introduction to the market is pretty critical. Testing for product or serviceProduct testing seeks to ensure that consumers can understand what products will do for them and which products are the best value. Product testing is a strategy to increase consumer protection by checking the claims made during marketing strategies such as advertising, which by their interest of the entity distributing the service and not necessarily in the interest of the consumer. If some more detailed information about this aspect can be introduced, it is impeccable.

At last, I have learnt a lot from here!
