Miguel Brian B. Tolentino is a student in the BAENT-1B program. The document discusses four types of innovation: 1) Product and process innovation which refers to new or improved goods/services and production/delivery methods. 2) Open and closed innovation where closed develops internally and open incorporates external knowledge. 3) Incremental involves slight changes while radical significantly improves products/services. 4) Modular alters design concepts while architectural alters connecting components and architecture. Examples are provided for each type.

Product innovation refers to the creation and introduction of a good or service that is new to the market or an improved version of a previous product. On the other hand, process innovation is implementing a new or improved production or delivery method.

Open and Closed Innovation
The distinction between open innovation and closed innovation is determined by the way in which innovation is created. While a closed innovation is developed in a self-contained company environment, Open Innovation incorporates external knowledge into innovation management.

Incremental and Radical Innovation
Radical innovation involves significant improvements in products and services and the provision of new products and services (Nguyen, 2018). Incremental innovation involves slight changes in technology and some new value or differentiation in current products, services and technology (Okuyama, 2017).

Modular and Architectural Innovation
Modular innovations alter the fundamental design concept without altering the product architecture. While architectural innovations alter the connecting components of the product and thus the architecture, modular innovations do not change the architecture but they alter the entire concept on which the product is built, without changing the purpose of the product itself.
