Business week has a very brief story &#8211; relayed by innovation tools on their site &#8211; on why businesses should go on investing in innovation. Atkins argues that companies have to go on investing in innovation in order to dominate in the next decade. He is right, but unfortunately and despite the title doesn&#8217;t really explain why we &#8211; and our managers &#8211; do have to pursue the innovation effort.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Should one be investing in innovation in times of crises?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The answer to that last question is in previous studies carried out by PIMS (see PIMS history in the following transcript) &#8211; included in my lecture on innovation at the Paris university. What this PIMS study is showing is that even in times of crisis, innovation is not an option. On the contrary, it is during these periods that innovation is the real driver for success.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-51310 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/Screenshot-2020-03-13-at-11.43.39-e1584096305964.jpg\" alt=\"Should one be investing in innovation in times of crises?\" width=\"519\" height=\"340\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, the return on investment is not immediate and therefore patience is required. Success for innovators who won&#8217;t give up during the current credit crunch will show &#8211; according to PIMS &#8211; in the years following the crisis through the acquisition of a few extra points in terms of market dominance. Results will in no way happen in the short term though and this is why the real difficulty is to show managers that innovation budgets have to be maintained, let alone increased.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more-->It is certain that the main inhibitor in that process is that managers are also driven by short-term issues in those difficult times, sometimes fighting for their own survival and therefore focussing not on innovation but on the bottom line.

When asked about the current credit crunch, Sir Stelios responded (quoted from memory) &#8220;I&#8217;m afraid that business is bound to be boring again; one will have to be a lot more cautious; at the same time&#8221; he added, &#8220;when the going was good, it was easy to\u00a0confuse luck for skills, but from now on it will be a lot more difficult&#8221;.

With the help of Sidney Schoeffler they set up a research project in which each of their strategic business units reported their performance on dozens of variables. This was then expanded to outside companies in the early 1970s.<br \/>\nThe survey, between 1970 and 1983, involved 3,000 strategic business units (SBU), from 200 companies. Each SBU gave information on the market within which they operated, the products they had brought to market and the efficacy of the strategies they had implemented.<br \/>\nThe PIMS project analysed the data they had gathered to identify the options, problems, resources and opportunities faced by each SBU. Based on the spread of each business across different industries, it was hoped that the data could be drawn upon to provide other business, in the same industry, with empirical evidence of which strategies lead to increased profitability. The database continues to be updated and drawn upon by academics and companies today.<br \/>\nWhat Pims have shown is that the impact of innovation is not immediate. mostly takes place 2 years after investment. This is why really successful companies never stop innovating (look at cisco) and don&#8217;t handle innovation as a 6-year cycle which only lasts for 2 years. It must be a continuous effort or it mustn&#8217;t be<br \/>\nROCE: Return on Capital employed: ROCE is a measure of how productively a company manages its refining, marketing and transportation assets.
