concept with this new approach was accelerated
tremendously (within 1 year)

them in line with brand image

7. Technology entrepreneur does the initial
screening based on methodology described
above
Log the detail as how it is meeting the current
need and its complete assessment
Director notices it, and assess its suitability
with business goals and evaluate the
practicability of the product
Promising product are evaluated based on
consumer response
Positively responded products are developed
and Deal is made with the product’s
manufacturer by negotiating various models
like collaborating, licensing etc.
 How it was
done?

8. Insights
 P&G’s innovation model is successful because it was
top down approach
 To avoid any internal dissatisfaction and
inefficiencies top level management must have to
decide what should be the composition of internal
research and innovation externally
 Any successful external ideas are never full proof
concept to be launched directly in the market – it has
to be evaluated thoroughly to be in line with the
business goals and the organization’s mission and
vision
 Internal resources will always be required for new
product development
