Read the page about innovations (again) and make sure you use the glossary. Choose five words you are not (particularly) familiar with, look them up and use them in meaningful sentence. This task is worth five points. Have a nice weekend!

1.) Our company invested in a novel technology, with which it is possible to produce
more luminaires per hour.
2.) We will use this new technology to optimize our sales figures and to become the
market leader.
3.) You can also contract out with a stakeholder pension or a personal pension, but you
have to be carefull.
4.) The price of our new developed products must not exceed 100 dollars, because
otherwise nobody will buy it.
5.) We developed a machine which produces energy in a frugal way, and contributes to
environmental protection.

Copycat: Often the Chinese companies are copying innovation and sell it on their own, you can call them copycat.
Streamlining: In the production of some products in our company we have a too long lead time, therefore we are now streamlining the process.
Malleable: Clay is often used for a first modeling of prototypes, because it is very malleable.
Daring: His courage and daring made him a good pilot.
Biodegradable: I use a biodegradable packaging to protect the environment.

1) My mum buys affordable copycat versions of expensive perfumes.
2) Many metals e.g. gold or aluminum are ductile and malleable.
3) Bleeding-edge software is often pushed to give new features a go.
4) My nephews played on the inflatable castle yesterday.
5) This medical device contains open source software programs.

I think every company wants to be on the cutting edge of new tecnologies.
Most people think of disruptive innovations when innovation is used.
In fact more than 70% of the innovations are frugal.
We need to carry out a test phase.
Not only beer is handcrafted better :-)

It is really daring to start a start up without any financial assistance.
Big companys have often rigid structures.
Inventions are mostly actuated by a special need.
The product lifecycle comprises all the stages from develpment to degenartion.
You might need to convert the file before you are able to open it.

1.) After several setbacks the company had to start the development of the product from scratch.
2.) Good collaboration with suppliers increases the long-term success of a company.
3.) There are many copycats of technical products in the Asian region.
4.) All numbers and statistics in my scientific work are verifiable.
5.) In my bachelor thesis I want to improve the efficiency of dealing with customer complaints by streamlining a process.

Hi Dagmar,
1) Customers anticipate a low price for the new product.
2) The government is trying to sustain the smaller businesses .
3) The additional slack time allows us to assemble 2 hours without a new delivery.
4) Our new product is a bleeding-edge App for tracking calories.
5) The App comprises a shopping list and a repertoire of recipes.
Kind Regards

Hi Dagmar,

Sandro Wallner (Donnerstag, 26 März 2020 02:02)
1.) starting from scratch:
Because of lack of time I would choose the existing service instead of starting a new one from scratch.
2.) to streamline:
To save costs, the company must streamline its administration.
3.) copycat:
We are not looking for copycat strategies which simply follow existing trends.
4.) slack time:
The additional slack time allows us to think one hour per day about process improvement.
5.) build rapport:
Managers try to quickly build up rapport with the employees.

Hi Medina,
- It could appear that an employee has been allocated for several projects. (OR HAS BEEN ASSIGNED SEVERAL PROJECTS - ALLOCATE IS OFTEN RATHER USED FOR NOUNS THAN PEOPLE)
- There are a lot of tips on how to build (customer) rapport with your customers.
- I had a real light-bulb moment AND NOTICED / FOUND OUT / REALISED that it was time to set up my own business.
- Let her pay the penalty and get on with it.
- I require the well-known and easily verifiable result.

At the beginning of a project it is advisable to develop a work breakdown structure.
In the long term, studying always pays off.
The big tech-giants invest most in research and development
You have to set priorities in your studies.
It is extremely important for a company to create unique customer experiences.
Philip Fraß (Donnerstag, 26 März 2020 16:10)
Hi Dagmar,
1. As the company started manufacturing electrical vehicles, they broke new ground.
2. At our project in St. Stefan we first heard about frugal innovation.
3. In my opinion european countries should now copycat the chinese stragety to deal with corona virus.
4. Everybody should try to build rapport with new colleagues, when changing his/her job.
5. My company is continuously streamlining its processes to save costs.
Greetings Philip

1.) light-bulb-moment
Last week, we had a meeting to discuss the new options for our product but nobody had a light-bulb moment.
2.) copycat
When a new product will be placed on the market, it won't take a long time until the first copycat can be found.
3.) regulatory work
If you want to built up your own start up you have to do a lot of regulatory work.
4.) penalties
In the B4B market it is usual that every contract includes penalties in case of the offered perforce won't be delivered.
5.) abrasion-resistant
The abrasion resistance of our new product would be a quality indicator.
Andreas Beuchler (Donnerstag, 26 März 2020 22:42)
Ice cream sellers usually have a "slack time" in the winter.
A final invoice must be "verifiable".
A "cost restriction" is achieved by reducing fixed costs.
A process must be "feasible".
The "scope" of the project can be seen in the report.
