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.

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:

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
