Answer the two questions below. No need for an intro or conclusion. Use as many sources as required to answer the question.
1. The role of technology-push and demand-pull in the Apple’s innovation processes. ( see more detail on technology-push and demand-pull) Supply push (technology push) happens when an organization comes up with a great technology without knowing precisely what to do with it. They figure out something internally and try to push a product to market without knowing the exact fit.
Demand pull relates to Drucker’s seven sources of innovation which discuss changes in the market, pain points, needs that drive the development of new innovations. In this situation there is a pain point or market need or changing expectations etc. that drive innovation so companies develop solutions based on the market pull.
2. Research and development process and approach to innovation at Apple.(how innovation is measured and tested, open vs, closed-source, role of end and lead users, idea collection processes, etc.) This can include a timeline, team composition and collaboration.
