  modify them to suit your needs or even
  create your own definition. However,

  following definitions will be used:

  There are two main types of innovation:


  Radical/Disruptive Innovation               Incremental/Sustaining Innovation


• Revolutionary, breakthrough               • Evolutionary, expected, sustaining


• Game changing, disruptive                 • Rarely challenges established leaders


• Challenges established market leaders • Addresses existing markets


• Creates new markets                       • Predictable: desired outcome is
                                              prescribed
• Exploratory: invites the elements of
  discovery & surprise                        Both types of innovation are needed for
                                              a corporation to be successful in the
                                              long run. Radical innovation will get
