Bias Against Innovation
Companies managing a established brand can be so pleased with past and current success, and so preoccupied with day to day problems, that they become blind to competitive situations. By ignoring or minimizing fundamental changes in the competitive situation or potential breakthroughs, managers leave their brands vulnerable and risk missing opportunities. A new competitor is thus often the source and beneficiary of true innovation.
Iodex became blinded and redundant after achieving the position of market leader and preferred to rest on its laurels rather than go in for product innovations and line extensions. As a result its leadership position was lost to Moov, which positioned itself as a remedy for backache and converted all the weaknesses of Iodex into its strengths.
