5. Incremental innovation – Small improvements to existing products or processes.  Incremental innovation is not risky. You can produce incremental innovations fairly predictably by making your product a little better, faster or cheaper.

6.  Radical innovation – A fundamental change in how you do things, also known as “breakthrough innovation” or “discontinuous innovation.” The transistor was such an innovation for the vacuum tube industry. Radical innovations create new areas of performance, change how an industry defines itself, and radically improve performance or reduce costs. They are riskier than incremental innovations and hard to predict.
