Assignment 2 Essay Question 1

Essay Question 1- Culture & Creativity

Within the theoretical framework explaining that creativity and innovation are a product of person-environment interactions (Kwan et al., 2018, p. 167), some empirical studies arguably concluded that certain Hofstede (2011)’s dimensions of national culture influence an individual’s creativity and innovation.

Using two big names in the world of innovation, Jack Ma and Jeff Beszos as reference to the Eastern and Western cultures, explain how dimensions of national cultures can affect a person’s creativity/innovation. OR

Using Aliko Dangote or any other Forbe-listed African entrepreneur as reference to national cultures in Africa, explain how the convergence of Western and Eastern cultures can shape a person’s creativity/innovation.

Lecture 8

Creating Organisational Contexts

Outline

  • Strategic Alignment of Blue Ocean Strategy
  • High Performance and Sustainability for Blue Ocean
  • Three Propositions
  • Value
  • Profit
  • People
  • Comic Relief Strategic Alignment
  • What happens when a strategy is not properly aligned?
  • Putting it all together (Napster Vs Apple)

Blue Ocean Sustainability

Achieving Strategic Alignment with 3 Strategic propositions

Value Proposition

The reason people will use your company

What are you offering them? Why do they want to buy from you?

Comic Relief’s value proposition:

Attracts customers/donors by compelling them to “fun”draise

Gets everyone involved by having a national day of whacky community fun

Ex. Red Nose Day or sponsoring silly antics of friends, family, or colleagues

Achieving Strategic Alignment

Profit proposition

Very simple premise: Maximize revenues while simultaneously keeping costs as low as possible.

Comic relief did a very good job of this:

Used volunteer workers to work their different fundraising events.

With each donation, a red nose was handed to the donor, giving them something to take home. Subconsciously increased value, motivating people to donate, increasing revenues, meanwhile the red noses were extremely cheap to make, keeping costs down, maximizing profit.

People Proposition

Motivating people requires overcoming organizational hurdles, winning peoples trust, and aligned/fair incentives.

Have to inspire people with the value proposition

Get everyone actively involved to be part of the strategy

Ignoring the people proposition results in execution failure

Ex: Comic relief

Everyone enjoys their involvement and feels like they are making a change

When a Strategy is not properly aligned

Tata Motors

Value proposition

Profit proposition

Cost innovations in design, manufacturing and marketing

Two-cylinder rear wheel drive, fuel efficient, interior space without size increase, door handles, four door

Miss aligned people proposition

Putting it all together

“closing the loop between creating and capturing blue oceans allowing it to act as a high performance and sustainable strategy”

Value Proposition: Attracts buyers

Profit Proposition: Allows the company to make money

People Proposition: Motivates people to work hard

Blue Oceans encompasses both differentiation and low-cost strategies.

“If a strategy does not fully develop and align with the three strategy propositions, short-lived success or failure typically results” - Execution failure

Example: Napster vs Apple iTunes in the digital music industry

Seminar 9

Creating Organisational Contexts

Overview of the Session

  • Recap of last weeks seminar
  • Recap on Value Proposition from Lecture
  • A compelling Tagline
  • Creating your Blue Ocean Tagline

Achieving Strategic Alignment with 3 Strategic propositions

Renewing Blue Ocean Strategy

The process of Blue Ocean renewal is key to ensure that the creation of blue ocean is not one-off occurrence but is institutionalised as a repeatable process in organisations.

  • Barriers to Imitation:
  • The alignment barrier
  • The cognitive and Organisational Barrier
  • The Brand Barrier
  • The economic and legal barrier

The secret to renewal is in ‘Monitoring the Value Curves which will signal when to value-innovate and when not to. (Kim and Marbogne, 2015)

What is a Value Proposition?

Value proposition- The utility buyers receive from offering minus the price they pay for it

(Kim and Mauborgne, 2015)

Key Elements of a Good Value Proposition

  • Who is your customer? Who is the value for?
  • What problem are you solving for the customer?
  • What is your solution and how is it helping to solve the problem?
  • What are your differentiators?

In groups discuss:

  • What is a value Proposition?

  • Why is it important?
  • Have a clear-cut tagline

Effective taglines are easier to come by when your company has a blue ocean strategy, because you are competing on something different than your other competitors

  • It must be truthful

An untrue tagline will lose your customers trust
