Platform innovation is about seeking out
extensions to the current business, and
anticipating and
leading changes of significant
impact.
The platform innovation is defined as
one that leads to the practical application of
fundamental innovations. Such
innovations
normally are launching pads for a new industry.
Derivative or
incremental innovations are
slight modifications of the main product.
Derivative innovation is a secondary technology,
process, product or service derived from a
platform innovation. It is about
continuous
improvement and quick response to external
events.
