Introduction - Innovative Product
The
innovative product we have selected is “Anti-Pest Paint”, a wall and roof paint
that repel pest from being enter into anti-pest painted room. As everyone is
confronting issue in today's life regarding pests (Lizards, Mosquitoes, flies
and so forth.) in homes which causes genuine maladies, for example, Dengue,
Malaria and unfavourable susceptibilities.
Dengue
fever and Malaria is progressively turning into a pestilence. Because of the
high cost of treatment, the ailment spread more quickly in current decade than
in earlier years. As of March 2015, Dengue killed more than 2300 individuals in
whole world and more than 1.7 million are contaminated by this mosquito
conceived malady (Guzman, 2002). And, there were an estimated 627,000 malaria deaths
worldwide in 2012 (WHO, 2015)
Individuals
are quite tensed and need a solution to save their lives from these specific
illness. For such reason, current situation demands an innovation in form of
anti-pest paint that will repulse any pest like mosquito, fly, aunt etc.
Area of Innovation
The
area of this innovation is “Customized Construction Goods”. Wall and roof
paints are an essential part of any sort of construction in today’s scenario,
i.e. House, Shop, Building etc. These paints are usually used to give an
attractive design to wall and roofs, so that it gives a fair feeling to users.
But, if some extra ingredients will be added to paint, it could contribute in relief
from micro-insects and saving user’s health (Lengeler & Sharp , 2003).
Generally wall paints available in market
include following four substances (Substech, 2015):
·
Pigments are granular solids consolidated into the
paint to contribute shading, durability and surface, give the paint some
uncommon properties or essentially to decrease the expense of the paint.
·
Binder is the real film framing part of paint. It is
the main part that must be exhibit; different parts recorded underneath are
incorporated alternatively, contingent upon the craved properties of the cured film.
This grants grip and unequivocally impacts such properties as sparkle
potential, outside strength, adaptability, and durability.
·
Solvent are to change the curing properties and
thickness of the paint. It is unpredictable and does not get to be a piece of
the paint film. It likewise controls stream and application properties, and
influences the soundness of the paint while in fluid state.
·
Additives are normally included in very little amount
but they give an extremely huge impact on the item. A few illustrations
incorporate added substances to change surface pressure, enhance stream
properties, enhance the completed appearance, expand wet edge, enhance colour
soundness, give liquid catalyst properties, control frothing, control cleaning,
and so on.
We suspect the same ingredients for innovative
anti-pest paint with five extra dissolvable chemicals that are Allethrin,
Resmethrin and some Anticoagulants, having following applications:
·
Allethrins: are a couple of related manufactured mixes
utilized as a part of insect poisons (Laforge, Nathan, & Schechter, 1956). They are
manufactured pyrethroids, an engineered type of a substance discovered
characteristically in the chrysanthemum bloom. They were initially combined in
the United States by Milton S. Schechter in 1949. Allethrin was the first
parathyroid.
·
Resmethrin: is a parathyroid insect spray with numerous
uses, including control of the grown-up mosquito populace (Kenzo, Loretta , &
John , 1974).
They are often use as ammunition against malarial virus
(Samuelsen, Paré-Toe, Baldet, & Skovmand, 2004).
·
Anticoagulants: These are chemicals that cause inward
draining in a rat, as they piece the creation of the coagulating elements. A
portion of the regular anticoagulants utilized as a part of rodent toxins are
warfarins and difethialone (Walter Ageno, et al., 2012).
Mixture of all these component could be a
result of a perfect anti-pests paint. These elements could be used as raisins
in paint ingredients. An investment in research to identify chemical
composition of these elements with paint material could provide more detailed
information about their solvency level. We trust that if these elements are
soluble in paint ingredients, then this item could have an appeal in Market
than presently existing paint items.
Important Milestones in this innovative Idea
A well-known paint manufacturing company
"Jotun Paints (Europe) Ltd" presented a similar innovative idea for a
specific group of surfaces, with two-pack epoxy, suitable as a long
introduction undercoat for epoxy and polyurethane frameworks and intended to
avert osmosis in fiberglass boats. It can be utilized both as first stage for a
wide range of substrates, including steel, fibre glass, aluminium and marine
timber, and as transitional grip undercoat, for polyurethane or antifouling's
on top of epoxy preparations. It is especially suitable for cycles against
osmosis, and gives a decent hostile to destructive impact (Jotun, 2015).
But, Jotun have focused on specific formulae that we are presenting for walls
and roofs and save from pests causing various diseases (Jotun Technical Department, 2015). There are certain
milestones for companies not able to bring this idea into market, most
important of them are as following:
·
Most of the businesses need to follow certain health and safety
regulations implemented by government. Most of today’s children under age of 10
years are having the habit of licking walls which is a symptom of vitamin deficiencies that might include excessive
licking, typically of non-food items (Livestrong, 2013). Adding harmful material into wall paint may cause serious
health issue for children’s, hence not a safe idea and may not be permitted by
health and safety government officials, is a major milestone for this
innovation.
·
The wall paint is usually replaced by user after minimum 2 years span (Old House Journal, 2015), but anti-pest
elements in this paint will may not provide such long-lasting results, hence
organizations having such perception may do not want to invest in this idea.
·
Walls and roofs dampness is another milestone to this innovation. Some
paint manufacturing companies also introduced slippery paint which is used for
repelling Lizards from being stick to walls and roofs, but this idea haven’t
worked well due to variable environmental conditions, i.e. the main idea was
that slippery paint is not having pores when applied to hard surfaces, but wall
and roofs have different conditions of dampness in variable environment hence
outer surface changes its condition with a change in inner surface (Kofi Agyekum, 2014). The failure of this
simple idea also diverted the thinking of organisation to focus on this area of
research.
·
Due to added anti-pest substance, the paint will may have offensive
smell when applied to walls and roofs in unexhausted areas and consumers will
hesitate to buy this product.
Effects of Innovation on Organizational Management Approach
Another paint manufacturing organization “Coral Dulux”
also launched this innovation in African part in April, 2013. They specifically
designed this product as a weapon for Malaria-ravaged
country “Ghana” (Durability and Design, 2013). This innovation
positively affected Strategic management approach of company but negatively
affected adaptive management approach of company. Such that, they strategically
introduced this product by trying hard to reduce its disadvantages but didn’t
successful in terms of cost reduction and increased productivity level (Working Knowledge, 2007), due to milestones
mentioned previously. Also, strategic management didn’t completely focus on the
main innovation idea and used expensive insecticide crystals to repel
mosquitos. These insecticide crystals only release when an insect when an insect lands on the painted surface (Chemistry World, 2012). This property was
added as a strategic approach to reduce offensive smell of paint and make it
non-toxic for humans (Coral Industries, 2015), but on the other
side expensive insecticide crystals increased the cost of product and life time
of goods was also not much as required by consumers. Hence, management of Coral
Dulux failed to fulfil its consumer needs with this product.
Future Development of this innovation
This innovation could be developed in future with
less disadvantages and cost, if following recommendations would be
strategically followed:
·
Companies need to invest in R&D to identify most common diseases
causes by pest, finding common species of pests, repelling substances for such species
and identifying feasibility of chemical composition of those substances with
paint ingredients.
·
Cost reduction should be main aim of organization to provide this
product at low price in disease victimised countries, where people are
reluctant to buy such products at high price with perception of their failure. Companies
who are already having machinery and equipment of manufacturing paint products
should focus on this innovation, by adding some extra ingredients into already designed
product. This will help in reduction of cost and operating expenses of company,
for this new innovation.
·
A major milestone of wall licking problem of children with vitamin
deficiency (Livestrong, 2013) could be removed if
company create awareness amongst user to apply paint on surface above 5 feet of
area of wall, so that children could not lick the paint applied area.
·
Long-lasting product could increase productivity level and trust of
product amongst its consumers and accounts for successful adaptive management
approach of company, hence production management need to hire some experienced
chemist who can enhance the life period of results of anti-pest paint, with less
offensive smell and side effects.
