The future can have many uncertainties especially in the work place but if an individual stays involved with new innovations, then that organization can succeed. I think spotlighting a success story regarding the future and how that organization continues to prosper is a good example on understanding management. Konica Minolta's Business Innovation Center is involved in Robotics, Healthcare, Workplace of the Future, Enterprise Solutions and Big Data. The vice-president of the innovation is Ekta Sahasi and she has brought with her a new perspective for moving forward.
Ms. Sahasi describes the innovation center as tool to help redefine their customer relationships especially with so many new technological advances. By taking this step Minolta understands that in order to continue to be successful they need to accept new technologies and use them to achieve success and retain their costumers. The whole objective of their innovation center is to help large organizations to small businesses understand how everything is evolving and understand the market is changing. By having an innovation center, Minolta is allowing it self to be involved and a go-to location to ask questions or ask for support for new entrepreneurs. They are creating a system that is not only benefitting them but many other organizations. They are achieving all of these by having the appropriate management systems in place in order to identify what is needed from them as a business.
Minolta's business innovation center is focussing on the Workplace of the Future and helping create that drive to help others find solutions to the problems that the future may have. They can have many partners that would be able to provide insight on the innovations or practices that they are currently dealing with. Having a innovation center to benefit the new entrepreneurs in businesses would be great because everyone would benefit. All those involved would be able to share their management systems and what they may have had to change to succeed.
I wanted to spotlight a business that had created some type of system that would benefit many. I think Konica Minolta's innovation center did just that because they are thinking of innovation and how to focus on evolving technology. By having a system like this it will help new businesses actually succeed instead of going into the business without understanding the newest technologies and management systems. Overall, the innovation center was created by a management system that was managed by many individuals that put their ideas together to come up with the innovation center and what its goals would be. The innovation center will be a great resource for the businesses, entrepreneurs, and the management community.

Hi Jessica,
ReplyDeleteI really like the look of your blog. This article was great to let people know that using technology is a great way to help you succeed in business and there is help out there if you need it. Nice information.
Hi, Jessica,
ReplyDeleteThis was an interesting post! I read the article, and was surprised to find that Kinoca Minolta had divested themselves of the camera decision, but I can see where they want to go. I was also pleased to read how entrepreneurs are a part of their strategy -- so many times the people with the great ideas have little capital to make them happen. You have convinced me that their Innovation Center will be significant to technological advances. Thank you!
Hi Jessica,
ReplyDeleteI definitely think that technology will generate another era of Industrial Revolution. I believe that Ms. Sahasi’s thoughts are well founded especially when it comes to improving customer relationships. It is imperative that as Managers in Technology we help understand other fields of the benefits that technology can bring to them.
