Editing Innovation (section)

=== Four types of innovation model ===
Another framework was suggested by Henderson and Clark. They divide innovation into four types;
* '''Radical innovation''': "establishes a new dominant design and, hence, a new set of core design concepts embodied in components that are linked together in a new architecture."

* '''Incremental innovation''': "refines and extends an established design. Improvement occurs in individual components, but the underlying core design concepts, and the links between them, remain the same." (p.&nbsp;11)<ref name=":1" />
* '''Architectural innovation''': "innovation that changes only the relationships between them [the core design concepts]" (p.&nbsp;12)<ref name=":1" />
* '''Modular Innovation''': "innovation that changes only the core design concepts of a technology" (p.&nbsp;12)<ref name=":1" />

While Henderson and Clark as well as Christensen talk about technical innovation there are other kinds of innovation as well, such as service innovation and organizational innovation.
