Disruptive Innovation in Business Administration
Discuss about the Components in Disaster Operations Management.
Disruptive innovation is identified as that term in the business administration which is associated with the innovation created in the new market along with the “value network” which eventually disrupts an existing market and value in the network. The disruptive technologies believe in creating new alliances among the “firms and products”. The main considerations of the terms suggested in the disruptive technologies has been based on the establishing new ideas to ensure that services are fresh pertaining to products, services and operations. The system of transforming the ideas into reality is referred as innovation. However, the disruptive innovation is able to create a new “market and value network” which is able to eventually disrupt the existing market and “displacing established market leading firms, products, services and alliances” (Anand & Gray, 2017).
In general, the use of disruptive technology is seen to be produced by the outsiders and the entrepreneurs, instead of the “existing market leading” corporations. In addition to this, it needs to be also seen that the “business environment of market leaders” does not permit them to use the “disruptive technology” in the beginning as all the process in the big concerns are seen to be slower in compared to the start-ups and in general it is the bigger firms even after having enough finance do not follow an agile approach (Smith, Maull & C.L. Ng, 2014).
Some of the main discussions of the research will depict how the implementation of the disruptive technology in value stream mapping for emergency room have affected the “Strategic management and strategic competitiveness”. This will include the significant nature of the “operations management evolution, strategic awareness and thinking, horizons for strategy, Layers of the business environment, the value chain matrix, value system, process blueprint, service blue print, Process, Volume, and Variety”. The latter part of the discussions will further include the evaluation on the service marketing system both high contact and low contact. In addition to this, the various scope of the discussions will be able to further include the relevant discussion of the study which are associated to the operations planning cycle. The main theories used in the blue print is discussed with PESTLE, Value Chain and Capabilities (Rajapakshe et al., 2017).
In Australia the economic growth rates are considered to be higher in compared to the most “OECD countries” including the “US and the UK”. At present the GDP of the country is depicted to be higher in compared to UK, Germany and France. It needs to be also discerned that there is less scope of risk in the Australian economy in terms of the health care industry, as it is able to consistently support the robust GDP growth along with “stable interest rates, rising exchange rates, relatively high levels of employment” along with a considerably low inflation rate. The health expenditure is seen to exceed with 10% of the gross domestic product for the first time as per the data available in 2015-16. However, the growth in the health spending continues to slow, not at the same extent as the GDP growth. It has been further discerned that in some of the major cities the unemployment level is considerably low in terms of average of the national unemployment figure which is seen to be 5%. It needs to be further discerned that at present the country is discerned to receive several applications every year for the individuals willing to immigrate to Australia and enjoy a high living standard. It is also seen that the repayment of mortgages is available to purchase property in Australia thereby encompassing total of 75% to 85% of the valuation based on the purchase price. The interest only mortgage is further seen to be widely available in the country and “offer for 5 or even 10-year periods” (McCrie, 2015).
Implementation of Disruptive Technology in Value Stream Mapping for Emergency Rooms
The classes and the caste for the social stratification is included as per the “working class, the middle class, and the upper class”. However, the boundaries among the group is a major concern. In addition to this, the richest 5 to 10 percent is typically regarded with the working “class, the middle class, and the upper class”, which has been derived from the” ownership and supervision of property and capital”. The growth in the middle-class is defined with the individuals having nonmanual occupations. In addition to this, the non-manual workers typically earn the upper level manual workers like tradespeople are seen to earn more than those in “sales and personal service positions”. Some of the occupations are further seen to include the occupations such as “accountants, computing specialists, engineers, and medical doctors” which has been able to contribute to the success in a major way. Since the 1980s the total number of the manual workers is seen to be decline (Kundu et al., 2015).
The different types of the manual workers from the nucleus is considered with total working class of “20 to 40 percent self-identify category”. The “class consciousness” comprises of the acknowledgement of the “class divisions” however there is seen to be broad range of the commitment based on the ethic of “egalitarianism”. In general, Australians accept the fact that the socioeconomic mobility is depicted with the possibility of exhibiting tolerance and acceptance of the inequalities related to the social class when it comes to facilitating healthcare functions. It needs to be further understood that the upper class has been signified with the aspects such as expensive cloths, motor vehicles and clothes. In a certain “economic value”, other real estate properties including houses are seen to vary significantly based on the different suburbs. In addition to this, the infant child rearing varies from one country of origin, education, class background and the religious groups to which the family belongs. Most of the practices are seen to depicted in terms of the independent child. It has been also discerned that the Aboriginal emigrants along with the various types of the other migrant families incline to indulge the young children more than most “Anglo-Celtic” patients (Karlsson, 2016).
The emergence of the new technologies is seen to create new process and products. The technology integration into the major systems and processes has been able to reduce the cost and at the same time improve quality aspects leading to innovation. The improvement process has been significantly contributing to welfare of the hospitals. The two most eminent organizations supporting the “Australian government research and development”. The “Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO)”, with its headquarters in Melbourne and “The Defense Science and Technology Organization (DSTO)” headquartered in Canberra is depicted to support the military research and developmental operations by providing a scientific and technological assistance for the “Australian Defence Force and Department of Defence”. It needs to be also discerned that both private and public healthcare providers have increasingly responded to the investment in the technology and particular mode of mobile communications which has enabled better workforce. The business of healthcare is often seen to tethered to a desktop computer or a fixed-wall phone so that the patients will be able to move to their next task. The increased mobility along with the secured access for the real time data for the professionals has been effective in increasing the productivity, along with improved and faster patient care services, and enhanced outcomes for the patient. The different nature of the issues dominating the present Australian science and technology and policy is identified with the “concentration of research and development in national research centers”. It addition to this, it has been depicted that the tensions among the university researchers in terms of the allocation of the research and development has been conducive to facilitate effective “communication between industry, government, and university researchers” (Hübner, Holzapfel & Kuhn, 2015).
Socioeconomic Landscape and Technological Advancements in Australia’s Health Care Industry
As discussed by Hoyos et al., (2015), the main use of the value system has been taken into account with the various type of the consideration which was able to connect the suppliers’ value chains, channels value chain and customer value chains with the hospital’s value chains. The sustaining innovation technology is depicted with upgrading the existing services and products. The supply chain contributions in terms of the value chains is depicted with various type of the considerations which is based on the following a timely aspect in the process cycle. In the given process map for the emergency room mapping is considered with adding to the value chain which is seen to be based on the connectivity among the operations. The efforts to increase the application of the emergency room mapping are included with the efforts of the “increasing the flow of capacity constraints”. This is further seen to include the efforts to enhance the information dispatch, “attending the physician, departing instructions and information passed to the diagnosis and departing institute”. This “has been further seen” to be associated to the various types of the measured which is related to the different model and growth expectations risk. It needs to be further discerned that the use of the disruptive technology is seen to challenge the “commonality and inter-workings of business” thereby creating new methods for conducting business (Hendricks et al., 2014).
It needs to be further discerned that the use of the disruptive technology is further seen to be based on the significant nature of the major aspects of the of the disruptive technology in the operation management defines a process by which a product and service is able to take “bottom of a market and then relentlessly moves up market, eventually displacing established competitors”.
The transformation of the outbound logistics activities brought by the application of the disruptive technology is seen to be considered as per the “delivery and order fulfillment services”, which are often considered as one of the most complex aspect of the transactions involved in the supply chain. During situations when moving goods between the warehouses in large quantities within the pre-set of workflows is straightforward in nature. Branching out the locations of the customer locations is depicted to be considered with the batches of goods represented with the entirely different challenges. The healthcare industry is seen to be growing quickly and more number of patients are getting rapid delivery of services. This trend is seen to be evident in case of major health centres with a standard delivery of services for two-day shipping and the need to innovate within the overall supply chain. It needs to be further discerned that the mobile technologies are seen to be emerging as an important tool for the connected devices which allows for an increased transparency during the final phase of the supply chain (Gallien et al., 2015).
The rise of mobile devices has changed the expectations in the patient orders and delivery process. The collaboration between the receiving of orders and dispatch is put forward with optimizing the process of operations and similar process. Some of the main contributing areas of the disruptive technology in the outbound logistics is discerned with Improved service monitoring, A Level Playing Field, improved patient service and “Mobile Resolving Longstanding Supply Chain Issues”. The logistics and the supply chain which is similar to the objects such as “value chain management, sourcing of network, value chain management and management of the supply pipeline” (Chiarini & Vagnoni, 2015).
The disruptive use of the technology in the areas of marketing and sales is seen to be depicted in terms of application of the new technologies such as the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI), big data and machine learning in healthcare service. It needs to be understood that marketing and sales are two most significant areas of the business which is always people oriented in nature. Marketing and sales is depicted to be important in terms of the industries and technologies which is transforming in the way things are getting done. It needs to be depicted that the AI is making the digital communication more human like in nature. The use of the big data has been further seen to be evident in terms of addressing the prospective information and machine learning has been able to predict the requirements of the patients. Some of the various types of the major initiatives in the sales and marketing for the healthcare organisation across Australia is seen to be depicted in terms of expanding the market with social marketing. The main platforms used to promote the services of the product has been seen in terms of the “social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter”. In addition to this, the mobile apps for the android and IOS platforms are considered as the main contributors for the online marketing and sales of the pharmacy products. Some of the most evident nature of the android and IOS apps has been seen in terms of MIMS, MedSearch and MedicineWise app. These applications are conducive in providing competitive rates on terms of than general medical shops. The use of the disruptive technologies in these areas in seen to be effective in terms of the efficient procurement and ordering of the products. The medicine apps are further seen to be conducive in terms of forecasting of the consumer demand maintain the inventory accordingly (Bochtis & Sørensen, 2014).
The capabilities are linked with the blueprint in terms of the “hospital records information treatment and attending the physician”. It has been further seen that the necessary information is stored as per the history of the patient with the vital statistics and insurance information. The interconnections are considered to improve the vital statistics and insurance information. It has been further considered that the operations management in the healthcare is considered with maintaining of information flows as per the different types of the departing instruction. This information is further seen to be considered as per the way of “treatment of the information”. The application of the information flow has been mainly seen to be considered as per the attending nurse to doctor examining patient. The optimization techniques as per the given blueprint is evident that application of methods such as cost optimization, inventory planning and material requirement planning. The important role of the “operations management” in terms of “logistics management” is having a significant role as per consideration of the physical items. In addition to this, the operation management as per the given blueprint is seen to simplify the complex process and maintain improved strategy for the overall flow of goods from the “point of origin to the point of destination”. This particular consideration has been evident with packaging, processing, enhanced storage and transportation. In addition to this, the business logistics may include several types of activities that will be based on planning of inventory and logistics facility (Babich & Kouvelis, 2015).
The application of lean principles from the given blueprint can be implemented with JIT systems to be able to contribute to the organization in terms of processing of by objective optimization model which will be able to plan and manage the various types of intermodal shipments for presenting current practices. It needs to further considered that the management will be able to pick the necessary decisions related to delivery of the services to the patients. Some of the most evident advantages of implementing the resource-based strategy which will be able to assert the competitive advantages and enhanced performance of the organization along with explaining the distinctiveness of its capabilities. In addition to this, it needs to be understood that threshold capabilities are depicted with threshold resources such as the equipment for surgery and the competencies as per the threshold is considered with application of disruptive innovation technologies such as enhanced equipment to perform the operation even at a faster rate than the other clinics. The given flowchart is further able to depict the strategizing process of the entire value chain thereby ensuring highest form of quality. In addition to this, the process map is for the scene to be conducive in making the relevant decision in terms of how the orders are taken and fulfilled till the end. The dynamics of the organizational change and service management is taken into account with the all the relevant tools which is suggested in the given blueprint. Provided information is depicted to be necessary for evaluation of “quality of life of people, global economies, business models of healthcare systems” (Anand & Gray, 2017).
Conclusion
The important learnings of the study have been able to state that disruptive technology is seen to be produced by the outsiders and the entrepreneurs, instead of the existing market leading corporations. Based on the economic factors the health expenditure is seen to exceed with 10% o the gross domestic product for the first time as per the data available in 2015-16. However, the growth in the health spending continues to slow however not at the same extent as the GDP growth. It has been further discerned that in some of the major cities the unemployment level is considerably low in terms of average of the national unemployment figure which is seen to be 5%. The different types of the manual workers from the nucleus is considered with total working class of “20 to 40 percent self-identify category”. The “class consciousness” comprises of the acknowledgement of the “class divisions” however there is seen to be broad range of the commitment based on the ethic of “egalitarianism”. In general, Australians are of the opinion that the socioeconomic mobility is depicted with the possibility of exhibiting tolerance and acceptance of the inequalities related to the social class when it comes to facilitating healthcare functions. The business of healthcare is often seen to tethered to a desktop computer or a fixed-wall phone so that the patients will be able to move to their next task. The increased mobility along with the secured access for the real time data for the professionals has been effective in increasing the productivity, along with improved and faster patient care services, and enhanced outcomes for the patient. The efforts to increase the application of the emergency room mapping are included with the efforts of the “increasing the flow of capacity constraints”. The rise of mobile devices has changed the expectations in the patient orders and delivery process. The collaboration between the drivers and dispatch is put forward with optimizing the process of operations and similar process. Some of the main contributing areas of the disruptive technology in the outbound logistics is discerned with Improved Order Tracking, A Level Playing Field and improved patient service.
