What is resource dependence<\/a> theory? How does it apply to innovation in The Innovator’s Dilemma?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resource dependence theory is a concept that explains how customer and investor resources drive innovation. If their needs are not being met, innovation will fail because it won’t have the resources it needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read more about resource dependence theory and how it applies to innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Innovation Principles and Resource Dependence Theory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Established firms generally struggle to survive<\/a> disruptive innovations, but if managers understand the governing principles of disruptive technologies, they can weather the storm or, at best, harness them for their success.<\/strong> Companies that don\u2019t know what they\u2019re up against or how to navigate it will almost surely succumb to disruptive technology\u2019s takeover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this analogy: When humans first attempted to fly, they attached wings to their arms, jumped off of tall objects, and flapped as hard as they could. They soon discovered that the methods that worked for birds didn\u2019t work for humans. However, when they learned about the forces at work\u2014such as gravity and the concepts of drag, lift, and resistance\u2014they were able to harness these principles and eventually take flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the next five chapters, we\u2019ll explore each of the five principles of disruptive technology, illustrate how they create problems for established companies, and offer solutions to navigating them. The five principles are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Customers and investors dictate a company\u2019s resources.<\/li>
  2. Small markets can\u2019t keep big companies alive.<\/li>
  3. Companies can\u2019t rely on market research for unknown and emerging markets.<\/li>
  4. A company\u2019s capabilities in one context are its disabilities in another.<\/li>
  5. Customers don\u2019t always want the newest technological advance.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    We\u2019ll start by discussing Principle #1 and talking about a few case studies that illustrate how this principle played out in several industries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Customers and Investors Are Critical to Resource Dependence Theory<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Although company leaders appear to be in control of an organization\u2019s decisions and direction, the resource dependence theory states that customers and investors are the primary deciders of a company\u2019s actions. This is because customers and investors provide the resources the company needs to stay in business, so everything the organization does essentially is in an effort to keep them happy.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Problem: Resource Dependence Theory Impedes Disruptive Innovation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Generally, the strategy of satisfying customers and investors is not only effective but also essential to a company\u2019s survival. However, as we talked about, disruptive technologies are inherently unappealing<\/em> to current customers, and the low profits they offer are also unattractive to investors. Consequently, this approach causes established firms to neglect disruptive innovations until they\u2019ve improved enough to be attractive to current customers\u2014and by then, it\u2019s too late.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The culture that grows out of resource dependence theory impacts everyone in the company: From the senior managers down to the most junior employees, everyone knows what kinds of work is good for the company and for their personal careers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Even if a manager decides to take a chance and pursue a disruptive innovation, everyone working on the project needs to believe in it in order for it to be successful. If team members don\u2019t believe in the disruptive project<\/a>, they make innumerable small day-to-day decisions<\/strong>\u2014such as prioritizing their time toward other assignments\u2014that\u2019ll ultimately starve the project of the effort and attention it needs to succeed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Solution: Create an Independent Organization <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Rather than trying to convince employees to back a project, company leaders can create an independent entity\u2014preferably in a separate physical location\u2014to lead the development and marketing of the disruptive product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The parent company\u2019s culture and organization are built to succeed in its existing market, but the independent organization needs the separation to be able to develop the culture and cost structure that fit the disruptive innovation.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Resource Dependence Theory in the Ink-Jet Printing Industry<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    When ink-jet printing was introduced, it disrupted the laser-jet printing market. Although the new printers had lower resolution and higher cost-per-page, they were also smaller and cheaper per unit than the larger, higher-quality laser-jets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Hewlett-Packard created a new entity and put it in Washington state to create physical and organizational separation from its main business in Idaho. HP executives even allowed the primary and the disruptive businesses to compete against each other in the market. <\/strong>This benefitted HP in multiple ways: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. It continued to earn laser-jet profits while the technology was dominant in its value market.<\/li>
    2. It successfully commercialized the disruptive innovation and brought in profits from its ink-jet organization.<\/li>
    3. If laser-jet sales declined with improvements in ink-jet capabilities, HP\u2019s strong presence in the ink-jet market would help the company keep its former laser-jet customers. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Although one of HP\u2019s businesses could end up killing the other, the company positioned itself in the best way to ride the transition from old to new technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
