Continuous innovation
Continuous innovation, the basis for sustainable success, requires companies to combine continuity and innovation in several different ways. World-class companies:
- Make the right strategic choices.
- Implement their strategies by continuously developing new products, markets, processes, forms of organization and management approaches.
- Ensure continuity and improvement of their existing business.
Thus, continuously innovative companies successfully combine strategic, innovation and operational excellence or, as James March would put it, exploration and exploitation.
