TASK 3

Building Future Innovation Capabilities for Samsung Electronics

Samsung Electronics produces its televisions in a way that it enhances their demand and widens the scope of innovation for the industry as well as for consumers. It is imperative for the firm to enhance its capabilities to increase the familiarity of technology and build a deeper insight for the customers in terms of content viewing. To better understand the process, a road map is constructed which would provide the firm with milestones of innovations that could be achieved by the firm by enhancing its capabilities. The road map for Samsung Electronics is discussed below:

Suggestion:It is imperative that the innovation which is most appropriate for this purpose and that could best enhance the capabilities of Samsung Electronics is Pocket Holographic Television.

Reason:Holographic technology is the future of television as it aims to provide ease in the way television is viewed. The holographic display could effectively be used by customers and Samsung Electronics, by Pocket Holographic Television could remove the barriers of space for setting up the televisions by providing effective display regardless the texture of the surface it is being projected to.

Impact:With change in any aspect of business, product, process or people, the impact is seen on the overall organisation. The impact is witnessed on its working as well as methods by which technology and skills could be blended to produce the desire product and distribute in in the marketplace effectively. The major impacts of change are on certain factors and areas which are described below:

• 1. Research & Development:The major impact of any change would be on R&D department of any company. This is because they are required to analyse the requirements of the marketplace as well as they have to assess the effectiveness of the product. To achieve this, R&D of Samsung Electronics would be researching the methods, technology and personnels required to develop the concept into a product. They might also need to formulate and modify the operations which could induce the impact on organisation as a whole.
  2. Resources:With such high-end innovation, it is imperative that effective resources be employed by the company to produce this product effectively. A standard Hologram requires development of photographic films that are coated with emulsion of silver halide (...). Generally glass plates are used to manufacture it which is not the case in Pocket Holographic Television. The resources required by the company would be raw materials for electro-forming, embossing, metallizing and so forth. Moreover, a use of artificial technology is required to compile these into small devices that could be fit in a pocket. To make this more efficient, the firm would require external manpower to handle the operations effectively that are associated with the project.
  3. Requirement of Technical Skills:To implement the change in the products, it is imperative that technical requirements are fulfilled to develop a new product where unique technologies could be used along with different methods of production. To successfully produce Pocket Holographic Television, the skills that are required would be a brief knowledge about the software that would aid the projections for instance Microsoft HoloLens (…). Another technical skills would be to have a brief knowledge and experience in Information Technology and Software Engineering. Skills to effectively use Artificial Intelligence are also required in the employees involved in the projects. The agenda of having these skills must be to develop a competent product that could fulfil the demand of enhanced technology.
  4. Legal Compliance:Whilst developing such a major product, it is essential for Samsung Electronics to acquire certain legal benefits that would aid the requirements and help the firm to get a legal support. Most importantly, to protect the intellectual property, the firm must acquire a patent for Pocket Holographic Television. Moreover, taking such support would allow the firm in better risk management for their product which is one of the major impacts of a change in an organisation.

Feasibility: The most important aspect of change is the feasibility. Change in the organisation is measured by how feasible it is to implement and what enhanced benefits does it provide to the company. Pocket Holographic Television would be analysed on the basis of how viable and dependable is this project for the company. Samsung Electronics have three ways to determine the feasibility of their innovative product. These are described below:

• 1. Economical:The prime factor of determining an innovation is the economical and feasible soundness. Pocket Holographic Television would be feasible in economic aspects because this innovation eliminates the usage of television frames. This relieves the company from the cost of developing these frames. On a larger scale this also ease the firm from building costly sound systems as it will all be in-built in the television device for Pocket Holographic Television.
  2. Technological:Samsung Electronics would then analyse the product on the basis of how it benefits them as well as the customers technologically. Holographic technologically is used in an appropriate and contributing way in Pocket Holographic Television along with enhanced sound system built for a surround sound from the device. This makes it technologically feasible for the customers. In addition to this, Artificial Intelligence along with Automation is used in to produce these televisions which ease the pressure of work on employees. It also eliminates the possibility of human error which increases the productivity and better production.
  3. Operational:As discussed, on the operational levels, with much less human intervention, AI robots play a vital role in development of Pocket Holographic Television. These robots are designed to function 24 hours a day which makes it quite an extensive approach to make the overall project operationally feasible.

Approval:After the feasibility of the change is analysed, the next process is to get it approved by the upper management. Samsung Electronics, to gain approval of the upper managers must organise formal meetings regarding this innovation. They must also organise Board of Directors' meeting where the members would assess the overall impact of this change on the company as well as on the customers. There will be a presentation of budget for the project, feasibility charts, profit forecasts and so forth. The members of the board must agree to the innovation and give it a thumbs up for the managers to move forward with the same. In case some of the members speak against it, voting takes place and approval is acquired on the basis of majority.

Application of Change:After getting an approval, the next step is to apply the changes in the company. In this stage, Samsung Electronics would go ahead with the production, marketing, promotions and distribution of Pocket Holographic Televisions. Resources will be assembled along with hiring of staff and required workforce for the project. This would also require the firm to employ AI Robots and effective automation system to produce the desired number of televisions.

Review:The final step of the road map is to review the implemented change and its impact be analysed. The firm would run some internal tests to determine the performance, endurance and safety of Pocket Holographic Televisions. After various physical and chemical tests, the product would then be set into the market. The review process in the market would be completely based on its acceptance and the financial gains that Samsung Electronics would experience after their televisions are sold. Moreover, one prominent way of reviewing the change would be the feedbacks the firm would get from its customers in the market. For more production and long term sustainability, it is crucial that all these aspects turn out to be positive for the firm and their product.

Conclusion

Thus, it is concluded from the above report, that to successfully bring innovation in an organisation, it is essential to clearly determine the aspects upon which the change would be analysed and reviewed. Innovation is crucial for a company as it contributes in its success as well as ensures its long term sustainability in the market. Moreover, innovation also provides the company competence and abilities that gives it a competitive edge over other present competitors.

In order to successfully bring in the innovation, it is imperative that the organisation determines the current and emerging technological trends in the industry. This would enhance the scope of success of the innovation as it would effectively satisfy the future demands of the market.

It is also imperative for an organisation to determine its innovation requirements in the future which would help them to develop clear ideas about how the innovation should shape up. It would help their creativity align with the market needs which would mould their innovation to satisfy their future wants as well.

There are various stages that a change goes through to successfully implement itself in the organisation. To appropriately manage the same, it is crucial that the change goes through a road map which would help the firm to identify various stages of its implementation. It gives the firm a systematic approach to implement change in the organisation. The various stages are focused on the impact the change would create on various organisational operations including resources, skills, legal compliance and so forth. For its successful implementation, it is imperative that a strong and positive impact of the change be created on the organisation for its long term sustainability and future success.
