(Case Study)
Procter & Gamble(P&G)

While P&G is widely recognized for its marketing might, its legacy as an innovator is equally rich. Over its 175-year history, the Cincinnati firm has consistently created new categories of consumer goods — from the first disposable diaper (Pampers) to the first toothpaste with fluoride (Crest) to the first synthetic laundry detergent (Tide).
The problem of growth
But in March of 2000, a slight decline in P&G’s sales and an earnings warning sent its stock price tumbling. By June, P&G named a new CEO, A.G. Lafley, who brought in fresh thinking about corporate strategy and welcomed new perspectives on innovation. When an internal analysis revealed that only 15% of innovation projects were meeting success targets, senior executives began searching for ways to turn around this key metric.
During this time, a number of top P&G leaders were exploring ideas in The Innovator’s Dilemma, the groundbreaking book by Innosight co-founder Clay Christensen. And not long after, P&G began collaborating with an Innosight team to build innovation capabilities that would spawn new brands and business models. The idea was to institute a process that was analogous to a factory — making innovation systematic, repeatable and reliable.
Innovation assembly lines
Via its new Connect & Develop program, P&G stepped up the sourcing of raw materials — in the form of product ideas from outside the company. “It didn’t matter where the ideas came from,” says Nathan Estruth, vice president of P&G FutureWorks. “We had to systematize a process to find them, to partner, to bring them in, and to turn raw ideas into innovations in our growth factory.”
A key part of improving its innovation success rate was setting up “innovation assembly lines” by seeking growth from four major categories of innovation:
1. sustaining innovations to improve on existing products (i.e Gillette Fusion)
2. disruptive innovations that bring high-end services to mass markets (i.e Crest White Strips)
3. transformative innovations based on performance breakthroughs (i.e Olay Pro-X)
4. commercial innovations to enhance the consumer experience (i.e BrandSaver events)
Small bets labs
Innosight’s “emergent strategy” approach of testing and refining market approaches was applied to a string of new product ideas.
For instance, P&G had tapped into university research for a potentially transformative innovation: a probiotic supplement to improve digestive health. But there was a large degree of uncertainty as to whether the new dietary product, called Align, was a worthwhile opportunity.
Instead of committing to a national retail launch, P&G created a website and promoted Align in just three mid-sized metro areas. “We placed a small bet,” says Bruce Brown, P&G’s Chief Technology Officer. “And that was one of the smartest things we did in terms of rapidly progressing the Align brand.”
P&G also conducted a small-scale market trial for the concept of attaching the venerable Tide brand to a new consumer experience. Deploying “jobs to be done” research, P&G found that there was high dissatisfaction with existing dry cleaners and potential room for a national brand.
Tide Dry Cleaners was initially launched in just two or three locations. That allowed P&G to refine the customer value proposition and the operating plan before it began to scale to more locations.
Innovation transformation
All in all, thousands of P&Gers applied its improved innovation framework to scores of new projects and products. “Innosight has been a close partner in P&G’s innovation transformation,” said A.G. Lafley, who retired in 2010 but returned as CEO in May 2013.
The result is that P&G has dramatically improved its innovation success rate, moving from about 15% to over 50%, meaning about half of its new product efforts are meeting benchmarks for success. That has helped boost overall corporate performance. Over the decade, P&G’s revenue more than doubled, and profits quintupled.
The commitment to the growth factory principles has continued through management changes, including the return of CEO A.G. Lafley in 2013. So it’s about more than just hitting financial numbers. “There is a confidence inside P&G,” says Estruth, “that the systematic approach enabled by Innosight will continue to drive our growth factory, and help us meet our goals for many years to come.”
Q.No 1: While P&G is known for its marketing its legacy as an innovative enterprise is equally rich. Discuss this statement in the light of the case study.
Q.No 2: The problem was that only 25% of the innovation products were meeting success targets. What in your opinion is the reason for this to be true?
Q.No 3: What stratey did P&G adopt to increase innovation success rate?

(Case Study)
TURNING GARBAGE INTO OPPORTUNITY
In 2003, Jim Poss , a solar technology energy expert, was walking down a Boston street when he noticed a trash vehicle in action. The truck was idling at a pickup point, blocking traffic, with smoke pouring out of its exhaust. Litter was still all over the street.

There has to be a better way, he thought to himself.

Through discussions with diverse stakeholders, he turned the problem upside down: the answer might not be about developing a more efficient collection process, but about reducing the need for frequent trash collection. As he considered this solution, he discovered multiple benefits: if trash receptacles held more trash, they would not need to be emptied so often; if trash did not need to be collected so often, collection costs and associated pollution would be reduced; and if receptacles did not overflow, there would be less litter on the streets. There were many advantages to this approach.

By applying the solar technology he used at work, Poss envisioned how a new machine might better manage trash. His initial concept of a solar-powered trash compactor was dismissed in favor of other ideas for environmentally friendly inventions, including a machine that would generate electricity from the movement of the ocean. Nonetheless the problem and the potential solutions continued to occupy his mind.

His assembled team experimented with a variety of options and finally returned to — “The Big Belly” — an innovation that provides clear solutions to the problems he noted on the city street that day. The current version can hold up to five times more trash than traditional receptacles. As a result, it dramatically decreases the frequency of trash pickup and cuts fuel use and trash-truck emissions by up to 80 percent.
Thus he could turn garbage into an opportunity.

(Case Study)
HENRY FORD-THE ENTREPRENEUR
In September 1891, Ford joined the Edison Illuminating Company (EIC) in Detroit as a night operating engineer at its sub-station at Woodward and Willis (Detroit) at a monthly salary of $45. In just a couple of years, he became the Chief Engineer, earning $100 per month. His responsibilities included ensuring uninterrupted electric supply in the city for all 24 hours in a day. The work schedule and timings were highly irregular, but this provided him the much-needed opportunity, time and finances to carry out his own experiments on internal combustion engines. Ford experimented with petrol-driven engines and horseless carriages for many years. In the early 1890s, he labored to develop a cost-effective small farm tractor.
He was successful in building a steam tractor with a single cylinder engine, but failed to make a suitable boiler light, which would make the tractor operational. In 1892, he put together a “gasoline buggy” with two cylinder engines which generated 4HP (horsepower). His experiments finally yielded results in June 1896, when he came out with his new invention – a self-driven vehicle called ‘Quadricycle.’ The quadricycle was a 4 HP vehicle, consisting of four wire wheels similar to heavy bicycle wheels, powered with a handle like a boat, and had only two forward speeds, with no backpedal.
The chassis of the quadricycle was placed on the four bicycle wheels. Richard S. Tedlow (Tedlow), Harvard Business School professor, said, “Henry Ford had done what not one top automobile executive in the world could do today. He had built a complete car with his bare hands.”Commending the great invention of the quadricycle, another writer Sidney Olson said, “To non-mechanical people, which mean most people, the natural question about his first car may be: What took him so long? Well, there was no such thing as a spark plug; it hadn’t been invented.
Answer Section
Q.No 1: In the light of the case study discuss the factors that enabled Henry Ford to work on his inventions.
Q.No 2: Ford’s failures and persistence led to the invention of the quadricycle. Discuss this int light of entrepreneurial behaviour.
Q.No 3: For an entrepreneur seed capital is one of the biggest hurdles in starting an enterprise. Discuss how Ford overcame this hurdle?

Case Study: Government intervention
In Germany in 2009 there was considerable debate about the extent to which the government should be intervening in the economy.
For example, its citizens were worried about the future of Opel, a German car brand that was part of the ailing General Motors. Some wanted the government to make sure jobs were saved no matter what. Others, however, were more hesitant and worried about becoming the government becoming too interventionist. Traditionally since the Second World War the German government has seen itself as a referee in market issues and has avoided trying to control parts of the economy. It would regulate anti-competitive behaviour, for example, but not try to run many industries. However in the recession of 2009 when the economy was shrinking the government was forced to spend more to stimulate demand and had to intervene heavily to save the banking sector from collapse. The government also had to offer aid to businesses to keep them alive.
Q.No 1: What are the possible benefits of a government intervening in an economy?
Q.No 2: What prompted greater intervention by the German government in 2009?
Q.No 3: What would determine whether the German continued to intervene on this scale in the future?

Case Study

Premier Courier Ltd. (PCL) is an innovative overnight delivery company that helped change the way companies do business.

PCL has positioned itself as a company with a service that solves its customers’ problems,

Case Study

To survive and stay competitive in the current economic climate shipping companies must find innovative ways of working by embracing modern technology. In a complex industry known for being conservative and slow to adapt to new technologies, are companies aware of the possibilities?

Outside the industry technology is causing the biggest shake up of processes and ways of working since the industrial revolution and shipping companies are beginning to understand its potential. Global management consultants McKinsey recently highlighted: “Over the past few years, rapid technological advances in digitisation and data and analytics have been reshaping the business landscape, supercharging performance and enabling the emergence of new business innovations and new forms of competition and business disruption.”

Many technologies used in other sectors can be applied to shipping. There is now a huge opportunity to accelerate the digital transformation of the shipping industry. Technology enables shipping companies to optimise the management of their entire fleet, automate processes, increase their business performance, improve operational efficiencies and drive down costs.

We see enormous potential for further progress driven by technology. Already, there’s been commitment from the industry to bring the internet on board and make it available constantly. This will bring great advances in terms of real-time data exchange, integrating the fleet directly into all processes and enabling operators to gain a 360 ° overview of all events that are happening within their fleet. This is a major step forward. Currently most ships are hardly integrated into the internal processes of the companies.

As an industry with such complex management processes, this lack of ability to collaborate and poor visibility of operations is risky and can lead to decisions and forecasts being made based on minimal information. But even without the option for constant internet connection on board – the use of modern management solutions, potentially cloud-based ones which offer one central source of information for the office and the fleet is already bringing great benefits in terms of improved data and information exchange, as well as reduction of communication expenditures.

There will also be great advances in terms of data analysis. Starting in 2018, the new EU MRV regulation will become effective. This will force shipping companies to monitor a variety of parameters. This also marks the first step towards actual performance management and should lay the foundation for an increase in the use of data analytics, leading to better predictions for optimal routes, fuel consumptions and the maintenance of machinery. The result will be a massive saving of costs.

Other potential game changers include mobility and cloud-technology, which are expected to have a significant impact on the way shipping companies operate in the future. There have been considerable advances in these fields. The benefits of using cloud technology, as well as mobile devices, are numerous. They include the ease of data access and the availability of information regardless of time or location. Additionally, the cloud makes it much easier to integrate external systems and processes, through interfaces (APIs), e.g. web hooks into each other.
The cloud is being embraced by some of the world’s leading shipping companies who are taking advantage of increasingly affordable and accessible cloud platforms to implement smarter, faster and more effective processes.

A Case of a Labour Contractor at Dharmaram
Introduction
This case focuses on the migration of labourers in search of daily wage during the dry season. Mr Prabhakar is one such labour contractor who has a tie up with a sugar factory. In addition to earning for himself, he provides daily wages to nearly 100 labourers during the lean season. .
The Village Context Paidipally is a small village in the Narayankhed mandal of Medak district. It is situated five Kms away from the town of Naryankhed. The village has more of a Kannada influence as it lies very near to the state of Karnataka.
The town of Bidar in Karnataka is only 60 Kms away from Paidipally. Paidipally has nearly 300 households with around 1,000 people. Most of the people are engaged in agriculture.
Majority of the people are small and marginal farmers who practice traditional agriculture. As agriculture is dependent on rainfall, often uncertain, people migrate to other places in search
of wage labour.
The soil is black cotton type. People mostly grow jowar and pulses. Only one crop is grown due to scarcity of water. There is lack of irrigation facility and people mostly have to depend on
rainfall which is less than 600 mm per year. Few farmers have bore-well and are engaged in cultivation of vegetables.
It is well connected with buses to Narayankhed every hour. The supply of electricity is very erratic although everybody has connections.
Since Narayankhed town is very near to the village, people mostly go there for all their needs. There is a hospital and both primary and high schools in Narayankhed.
Family Details
Prabhakar is now around 40 years of age. He has been staying in this village from his childhood. His family consists of his wife, three sons and one daughter who are dependent on him.
His parents stay in the neighbouring village. His children go to school and his wife looks after affairs of the house. The main income source for the family is earnings from the labour contract.
The family has three acres of agricultural land the value of which would be Rs. 45,000. Jowar and pulses are cultivated in this land during the kharif season. The family also has one cent of residential land with a house. The value of this property would be about Rs. 75,000.
Diversification History
Prabhakar’s father used to work as a daily wage labourer. He often had to go out of his village in search of wage labour in the lean season. In this process, he came across a private sugar factory newly established near Narayankhed. The only other sugar factory existent at that time in Narayankhed was the Nizam Sugars Public Limited. He got in touch with the owner of the sugar factory and got a contract of drying the sugarcane Bagas1 which was used as fuel for the boilers for heating the sugarcane juice.
This contract gave them work for additional three to four months during the lean season often from December to February. Prabhakar assisted his father for four years in this business and learnt the required skills. From the income earned from this source, he and his father could acquire three acres of
land and a residential house.
Prabhakar was married by this time to Saraswati. The income from agriculture was meagre as small surpluses were left after own consumption. All expenditure of the house had to be met from the profits from the above contract. In order to increase the family’s income, he decided to try and get similar contract elsewhere, instead of assisting his father.
Around 18 years ago, he got his first contract from the Sri Srinivasa Sugar factory in Ramayampet for the drying of bagas.
He is still continuing with the same contract. From these earnings, he could buy another house. He also invested some amount in digging a bore well. However, this was not successful.
When he got the contract, he started engaging labourers from his village by paying some advance wages to them. He in turn got an advance from the owner of the sugar factory. This advance payment to the labourers was necessary, as they had to support their families in their absence.
He gradually started using his labourers in the manufacturing process of sugar in addition to bagas drying. At present, he employs about 100 workers, of whom nearly 30 are working in the processing of sugar.
The workers are divided into various categories at the beginning and wages are paid according to the kind of work they do. The wage varies from Rs. 18 to Rs. 100 per day. The person at the boiler will get Rs. 100, labourer using his own bullocks for drying bagas will get Rs. 90 whereas a person engaged in drying the bagas will get Rs. 18.
Prabhakar explained that the income from this activity is mostly dependent on the amount of sugarcane supply to the factory for crushing. Higher the inflow of sugarcane in the factory, greater is requirement of bagas and therefore a higher income in the season.
He would incur losses if the factory does not run for the full season completely (i.e. for nearly three months) as the advance given to the workers could not be taken back for lack of any work.
Prabhakar suffered a heavy loss last year due to inadequate supply of sugarcane to the factory. The factory has a capacity to process 100 bags per day. Last year, it ran for a month. For the rest of the two months, it was not operating.
Due to this, he suffered a loss of Rs 30,000. He had to sell off one his house to recover this loss. Out of the sale proceeds, he had partly repaid this loss to the sugar factory and the rest was given as credit by the factory owner.
Thus was possible because of his association for the last 18 years. Often he has been supported by the factory owner in the event of any unforeseen circumstances.
Future Plans
Prabhakar is not very sure about his future plans. He wants to continue to do this business as it is providing wages to more than 100 families. The factory owner had offered him a job on several occasions but he is not keen on taking it as it is against his dignity.
He could have earned Rs. 4,000 per month easily as supervisor in the factory. He has plans to invest in a bore well again. He wants his children also to get into this business.
