| dc.description.abstract | Christensenās Innovator's Dilemma thesis describes the paradoxical phenomenon that large companies become victims of their own success. Companies are successful and market leaders by virtue of having a large customer base and market share, but innovation takes root in small niche customer demographics. So, listening to their customers' needs causes companies to fail because they cannot implement the disruption associated with the next significant market innovation. However, Christensen published his theory at a time when companies were reliant on internal innovation. Since 2003, the phenomenon of open innovation described by Henry Chesbrough, has taken hold. The open innovation model is based on a company using its surrounding ecosystem, collaborating with partners such as start-ups, academic institutions or customers, in order to enable innovation. In recent years there has been a dramatic change in the relationship between corporations and start-ups. Where in the past incumbent corporations had the upper hand, today start-ups often dominate. A significant advantage of start-ups compared to incumbents is that the former can easily reach niche markets. To mitigate start-up advantages, corporations have begun to invest in intrapreneurial activities. This gives companies opportunities to become innovative while also meeting current customer needs. One company that have recognized the importance of intrapreneurial activities is Siemens. This thesis examines whether intrapreneurship and associated innovation strategies have solved the innovator's dilemma for Siemens and whether Siemens can protect itself from startup threats. | pt_PT |
| dc.description.abstract | A tese Dilema do Inovador de Christensen descreve o fenĆ³meno paradoxal de que as grandes empresas se tornam vĆtimas do seu prĆ³prio sucesso. As empresas sĆ£o bem-sucedidas e lĆderes de mercado em virtude de terem uma grande base de clientes e quota de mercado, mas a inovaĆ§Ć£o enraĆza-se em pequenos nichos demogrĆ”ficos de clientes. Christensen publicou a sua teoria numa Ć©poca em que as empresas dependiam da inovaĆ§Ć£o interna. Desde 2003, o fenĆ³meno da inovaĆ§Ć£o aberta, descrito por Henry Chesbrough, tomou forma. O modelo de inovaĆ§Ć£o aberta baseia-se numa empresa que utiliza o seu ecossistema circundante, colaborando com parceiros tais como start-ups, instituiƧƵes acadĆ©micas ou clientes, de modo a permitir a inovaĆ§Ć£o. Nos Ćŗltimos anos tem havido uma mudanƧa dramĆ”tica na relaĆ§Ć£o entre as empresas e as start-ups. Onde no passado as empresas incumbentes tinham vantagem, hoje as start-ups frequentemente dominam. Uma vantagem significativa das start-ups em comparaĆ§Ć£o com as incumbentes Ć© que as primeiras podem facilmente alcanƧar nichos de mercado. Para mitigar as vantagens das novas empresas, as empresas comeƧaram a investir em atividades intraempresariais. Isso dĆ” Ć s empresas oportunidades para se tornarem inovadoras e, ao mesmo tempo, atenderem Ć s necessidades atuais dos clientes. Uma empresa que reconheceu a importĆ¢ncia das atividades intraempresariais foi a Siemens. Esta dissertaĆ§Ć£o examina se o empreendedorismo interno e a estratĆ©gia de inovaĆ§Ć£o subjacente resolveram o dilema do inovador para a Siemens e se esta se pode proteger contra as ameaƧas das start-up. | pt_PT |
