Innovation is a product that is thought to be new or different. Continuous innovation is a small modification to an already existing product, such as hybrid cars. Dynamically continuous innovation is a large modification to an already existing product, such as a plug-in car. Discontinuous innovation is a disruptive or major change to how we live, such as the invention of the car. Many innovations do not make it at all.
There are 7 steps to develop a product. The first step is idea generation, where you figure out how to meet unmet needs. Then you develop the initial concept and test it with focus groups. Third you develop a marketing strategy, including the 4Ps. Next is the assessment stage. You analyze competitors, find a differential benefit and analyze potential demand. In step five, the product is refined and a distribution plan is created. Test marketing is the next step. The product is tested in limited markets. The final step in developing a product is commercialization. In commercialization the product is fully launched and full production is made.
