Innovation StrategyReinvigorate Your business: From Strategy to Execution
Pens, lighters and shavers are very different products, but still Bic succeeded in creating a relevance between its product lines. The company first developed its brand reputation by making inexpensive ballpoint pens out of plastic. After establishing itself in the market, it dived into new segments, disposable lighters, shavers and stationery in general. Creating a seamless expansion was only possible because Bic identified itself as a “disposable plastic manufacturer” rather than a “pen business”. It is only with this mindset that the company was able to revolutionize the market with eco-friendly disposables.
It is this mindset that allows for sustainable innovation and growth despite global competition.
