&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: larger;"&#62;Professional Bio:&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: larger;"&#62; Mark Duval has been based in China since 1996, filling a range of senior management positions for Motorola including corporate strategy, governance and compliance, operations management, business development, and government relations and public affairs. He was a member of the AmCham-China Board of Governors from 2007 to 2010 , serving two terms as vice chair. He has also been chair, co-chair, or board liaison to the AmCham-China Public Policy Development Committee, has played a critical role in the publication of the numerous AmCham-China Whitepaper&#8217;s on the State of American Business in China,. Mark has a BSc. from the University of Natal, Durban where he graduated with Deans List honors; a postgraduate diploma in Organizational Psychology from the Australian College of Applied Psychology, and an MBA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;strong&#62;AmCham-China Perspective:&#60;/strong&#62; I&#8217;ve been active in AmCham-China (particularly the PPDC and Visa Committee) since 2006 and served on our Board from 2007 through 2010. My focus over the years has always prioritized the three areas I believe are most critical to our members; (1) working with the Board and the AmCham-China team to better engage and support each of our Working Groups, particularly those that support the small and medium sized businesses; (2) ensuring that our policy strategy and advocacy efforts on behalf of our members (including the annual Whitepaper and other initiatives) are focused and effective; and, (3) working to steadily improve US visa policy to make it easier for our friends, employees and customers to visit the United States. &#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
Over the years I&#8217;ve been impressed by the dedication of our team and inspired by the contributions from so many of our members. I&#8217;m proud to have been part of our many accomplishments and look forward to working with our membership, the Board, and the AmCham-China team on our important work in 2012. &#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;</description>

<title>How You Can Become an Innovator</title>
<link>http://www.amchamchina.org/article/9136</link> 
<description>&#60;p style="text-align: center;"&#62;&#60;img alt="" style="width: 560px; height: 365px;" src="http://web.resource.amchamchina.org/cmsfile/2012/01/30/febada517ea24cee1c03e06d5f00816e.jpg" /&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: larger;"&#62;There&#8217;s perhaps no word uttered more frequently by leaders these days than innovation. That&#8217;s appropriate given innovation&#8217;s growing importance to business and personal success. Today&#8217;s world just changes too fast for the status quo to suffice. Consider the following:&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
Innovation is changing the way we work, live and play. You can be reasonably certain that the way you do your job and the way you communicate with your friends and family will change materially in the next decade. We all have to deal with innovation. &#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
In his 1996 book Only the Paranoid Survive, legendary Intel Corporation CEO Andy Grove summed up the fundamental challenge well when he wrote, &#8220;Strategic inflection points offer promises as well as threats. It is at such times of fundamental change that the clich&#201; &#8216;adapt or die&#8217; takes on its true meaning.&#8221; The increasing pace of change means that these times of fundamental change are ever present; the &#8220;new normal&#8221; is perpetual change.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: larger;"&#62;Yet, despite the word&#8217;s growing ubiquity, innovation remains shrouded in mystery. Don&#8217;t believe it? Ask a group of 10 people to offer their definition of innovation, or to provide words they associate with innovation. You are likely to get a very wide range of answers.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p style="text-align: center;"&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: larger;"&#62;&#60;img alt="" style="width: 487px; height: 160px;" src="http://web.resource.amchamchina.org/cmsfile/2012/01/30/a5b9e508578d27da66039bdbc5083975.jpg" /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p style="text-align: left;"&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: larger;"&#62;The Little Black Book of Innovation&#8217;s working definition of innovation is something different that has impact. Each word is chosen carefully. Different shows how innovation involves a new way to solve an old problem. That doesn&#8217;t mean that an innovative idea has to be completely novel. In fact, one of the quickest paths to successful innovation is to borrow an idea from one context and apply it to another. As the Spanish legend Pablo Picasso once said, &#8220;Good artists copy, great artists steal.&#8221;&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;/span&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: larger;"&#62;&#60;img align="left" alt="" src="http://web.resource.amchamchina.org/cmsfile/2012/01/30/f2c035e97da38ce1c376e39d84bf30b2.jpg" style="width: 450px; height: 331px;" /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: larger;"&#62;Some innovations involve great leaps forward in performance, but not all. In fact, one of the most powerful innovation strategies is to intentionally sacrifice performance along traditional dimensions and offer increased simplicity or affordability. Consider Rovio&#8217;s mobile game, Angry Birds. The game&#8217;s graphics pale in comparison to those on games on advanced consoles. But the simple, intuitive game has proven to be a great way to get short bursts of entertainment on the go. More than 500 million people around the world have downloaded Angry Birds. &#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p style="text-align: left;"&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: larger;"&#62;The most important word in that definition is the last one &#8211; impact. Until you have delivered increased revenues or profits, improved the performance of a process, or materially improved someone&#8217;s life, you haven&#8217;t innovated. &#60;br /&#62;
&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p style="text-align: left;"&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: larger;"&#62;Note how this notion draws a clear distinction between innovation and invention or creativity. There is a popular conception that innovation is all about a creative idea. Creativity is a piece of the innovation puzzle, for sure. And creativity, of course, can help the innovation process. But innovation is a process that combines discovering an opportunity, blueprinting an idea to seize that opportunity, and implementing that idea to achieve results. Remember &#8211;no impact, no innovation.&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
Note what doesn&#8217;t appear in the definition: the word technology. People often think that innovation activities are consigned to people in white lab coats in a laboratory. In reality innovation can happen anywhere in the organization. It can be a new marketing approach, a new way to handle an internal process, or even a way to communicate with co-workers. In fact, the secret weapon in many powerful growth businesses isn&#8217;t technology at all; it is innovative business models with new means to create, capture, or deliver value. Consider Tencent&#8217;s innovative micropayment mechanism, which translates small payments from hundreds of millions of QQ users into substantial revenues and profits.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p style="text-align: left;"&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: larger;"&#62;&#60;img height="364" align="right" width="397" alt="" src="http://web.resource.amchamchina.org/cmsfile/2012/01/30/7dec040b6495bb5a1e966d99cb05961e.jpg" /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p style="text-align: left;"&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: larger;"&#62; The five-word definition helps to defray some of the most common myths that inhibit innovation&#8217;s standard practice. Perhaps the most dangerous myth is that innovation is a random task that can only be mastered by a precious few. Innovation is in fact a discipline &#8211; it can be measured and managed. People who aren&#8217;t intrinsically creative but follow the right process can create high-impact innovation. Recent research by Professors Clayton Christensen, Jeffrey Dyer, and Hal Gregersen show that in fact about 70 percent of innovation skills are learned.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p style="text-align: left;"&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: larger;"&#62;Thomas Edison was the consummate innovator. He didn&#8217;t approach innovation as an academic exercise; he went out and made things like the phonograph and incandescent light bulb. Remember how the legend described the key to his success? He quipped that genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration. Innovation has become much more approachable, but like any discipline, innovation mastery only comes through hours of practice. It&#8217;s time to start sweating.&#60;br /&#62;

<title>Executive Brief: Strategy Lessons from Steve Jobs</title>
<link>http://www.amchamchina.org/article/9118</link> 
<description>&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: larger;"&#62;Professor Peter Zemsky from INSEAD recently spoke at AmCham-China on the successful strategies used by Steve Jobs, the late Apple CEO, who turned a technology firm on the brink of bankruptcy into one of the most valuable companies in the world.&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;strong&#62;KEY&#160;POINTS&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;ul&#62;
    &#60;li&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: larger;"&#62;Apple integrates hardware and software, an approach that differs from the vertically-integrated industry standard.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/li&#62;
    &#60;li&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: larger;"&#62;Jobs steered Apple to emphasize not just technology, but the ultimate question &#8211; how technology can serve human needs.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/li&#62;
    &#60;li&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: larger;"&#62;Jobs waited for the &#8220;next big thing,&#8221; and devised effective strategies to capitalize on those key products.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/li&#62;
&#60;/ul&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style="font-size: larger;"&#62;&#60;strong&#62;SYNOPSIS&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;br /&#62;
Professor Zemsky argued that Steve Jobs, in addition to his vision and talent, was successful because of the strategies that he implemented to make Apple what it is today. He stated that Apple effectively used a strategy of vertical integration, which, contrary to prevalent industry practices, combines both software and hardware in its products. Consequently, Apple has the structure to innovate on a systemic level, as opposed to focusing on competition with rivals in specific areas of either software or hardware design.&#60;br /&#62;
&#160;&#160;&#160; &#60;br /&#62;
He further argued that Apple&#8217;s turnaround occurred with the iPod, when Jobs&#8217; vision of a digital life could materialize. Subsequently, Jobs was able to build on the success of the iPod and expand to the iPhone, iPad, and App Store. Once he achieved scale, he was able to cut costs and set standards. From a strategic point of view, he seized opportunities to enter the music player field before any industry player could secure a dominant position; he was able to build Apple&#8217;s popularity and translate that into leverage for future product development.&#60;br /&#62;
&#160;&#160;&#160; &#60;br /&#62;
He cautioned, however, that Jobs&#8217; closed-system strategy (resulting from vertical integration) is at times a major weakness. A closed system increases the cost of production and may undermine the user experience. However, both ills can be cured when scale is achieved, which drives down cost and creates a product ecosystem.&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;strong&#62;SPEAKER&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;br /&#62;
Peter Zemsky, deputy dean of INSEAD&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;</description>
