Discusses both the theory and practice of process development. The book finds that process innovation, not just product innovation, can be the key to a competitive advantage. Its findings are based on an in-depth study of process development projects in a rapidly evolving, high-profile industry.
Gary Pisano argues that the development of distinctive and superior process technologies is a key source of competitive advantage. In a multi-year study of international pharmaceutical firms (with references to a variety of other industries), he challenges the widely held product/process life cycle view of competition, which suggests that industries tend to emphasize either product innovation or process innovation. He also offers a set of recommendations for the practices and approaches that can be used to unlock the potential of process development. In doing so, he provides a window into the more general phenomenon of how organizations create, select, and implement new capabilities.
