Slide 1: Introduction
 MHS is a successful company that offers advance skin care products in Australia. The
company operates in two major business units: Neutrino and Dermatech
Slide 2: Internal Perspective
 The organisational structure of MHS potentially hinders introduction of innovative ideas
because the final decision lies with the top management.
 The two business units (Neutrino and Dermatech) are headed by General Managers who
report to the CEO and board of directors. Therefore, any innovative idea introduced by
the staff members may be hindered by the structure.
Slide 3: Continuation of Internal Perspective
• Employees in the company are not encouraged to be creative and innovative because
their opinions and ideas must be approved by the General Managers in each business
unit.
• Individuals are encouraged and motivated to be creative and innovative if they are
effectively rewarded for their innovations. However, in MHS rewarding through
promotion is based on the length of stay rather than performance.
Slide 4: Recommendations for Internal Perspective
 Participatory management structure and decision making process should be used in the
company to motivate all members from all departments to introduce innovative ideas but
the top management should have the final decision based on the resources available
Slide 5: External Perspective
 The case study shows that innovative capacity of MHS is influenced by knowledge
management and R&D. As mentioned by Vega-Jurado et al. (2008) and Shi, Wu and
Zhao (2014), R&D and knowledge management are very essential in any organisation.
MHS does not have effective strategy for knowledge management and has not invested in
R&D.
Slide 6: Recommendations for External Perspective
• MHS has invested in R&D in the Australian market for the two business units, however,
the company should target the Asian markets such as Indonesia and Singapore and hence
develop R&D centres in these markets. This will help in exporting and importing
innovative ideas that would be introduced in the centres.

• The company should ensure there are strong knowledge management strategies by
training the young employees
Slide 7: Marketing Perspective
• As mentioned by Kivimaki, Lansisalmi, Elovainio and Heikkila (2000), marketing factors
influence the innovation capacity of an organisation. MHS has demonstrated
innovativeness by developing new products such as Poseidon in the Neutrino business
unit. Though there was a huge cost in developing the product ($12.0 million), it was
estimated to generate $350 million a year in revenue from 2023 onwards.
• The company has expanded into Asian markets and CLEO products seem to do well in
the Asian market as compared to the Australian market.
• Innovativeness is demonstrated by effective distribution. Export markets for Dermatech
include China and Indonesia
Slide 8: Recommendations for Marketing Perspective
• MHS should invest on expanding to new markets for their products especially in Asia
(such as Singapore and Indonesia
• The company should invest in promotional and marketing strategies to increase presence
in the existing market (Australia).
• MHS should develop new and more innovative products and develop new distribution
channels to ensure that their customers get their products conveniently and reduce the
cost of distribution.
Slide 9: Technology Perspective
• MHS has an effective innovation process that improves the company’s innovation
capacity. For instance, the company has R&D centres where innovative products are
manufactured.
• The process involves researching for a product, developing the product, and providing it
to consumers in the market. In all these processes there is room for value creation.
Slide 10: Recommendations for Technology Perspective
• MHS should ensure that there is value creation in all the three processes of innovation.
