Analysis of How Tesla Creates Core Innovation Capability

Tesla as green technology is new concept to current market. Current conventional market is significantly comparative. As a new comer to existing difficulty to enter the market, the company demonstrates significant innovation in various ways. Thus, Tesla has different concept of management and marketing to the market place. The company demonstrates online strategy and vehicle’s IT connected system. To improve integration of technology, the main firm acquired solar panel and installing firms. The company’s pathway to manage the organization and approach to its consumers would bring significant understanding in terms of business and management.

Marketing strategy for branding as introducing Model 3 after successful market entrance of other models which is previous winning branding strategy is key standard-tier decision and new premium tier. Similarity in the branding could influence new product category and newer products followed by previous productions are diversification and improvement for customer satisfaction (Rahman, 2014).
There is significant difference between Tesla and conventional auto makers. The website of Tesla includes forum page and it is open to public for participation and discussion abot Tesla. However, other manufacturers offers only traditional franchise dealership as buying process (Dana Hull, 2012, p. 2017.
Distribution channel of Tesla is significantly comparable to those of existing auto makers. Market approach of Tesla as providing showroom and online market is distribution strategy (Bilbeisi & Kesse, 2012, p. 2017. Advanced innovation for distribution shortens process and time of purchase tremendously (Dana Hull, 2012, p. 2017. As new comer and new electric vehicle manufacturer, Tesla would have tremendously difficulty in penetrating into existing conventional automobile market (Stringham, et al., 2015).
Significant barrier such as economies of scale, established network for distribution, fueling and service indicates that it seems to be not possible mission to success in car market. Consideration for introducing electric car faces that the higher investment requirements and higher the barriers of entry which disrupting innovation or start-up business. Although successful penetration into the market is not guarantee for successful auto maker in highly comparative car industry, Tesla's attitude seems to be doing the best to overcome disadvantage of new entry and the company had succeed to enter the present market and distributed significant amount of electric cars. The statement, 'Our goal when we created Tesla a decade ago was the same as it is today: to drive the world's transition to electric mobility by bringing a full range of increasingly affordable electric cars to market' was delivered from CEO of Tesla (Stringham, et al., 2015).
Tesla's high tech products took significant attention from early adopters which spurred penetration to niche market (Bartman, 2015). Installation inside car of touch screen control pad with many functions and large size represents cutting-edge IT tech for products and the company of brand image (Vance, c. 2012(Vance, c. , p. 2017. The feature of voice command for autopilot system is effective way of cruising on the road which was preferred by many customers (Frick, 2016). Smart devices and software, co-response with drivers are tremendously valuable (Hansen, 2015). The touch screen control pad is 17 inch information system and installed on the dash board which operates sun-roof control, music streaming, navigation and map displaying and other functions within smart applications. Tesla is leading Silicon Valley's high tech auto maker (Vance, c. 2012(Vance, c. , p. 2017).

Personal Reason for Research
A book of (Rifkin, 2003) had inspired me thinking of worse thing happened by fossil fuel and having interests in alternative energy. Research of Tesla would be solving the intellectual curiosity. Tesla's innovation and the ways to manage the organization would be considerable study in terms of green tech management.

Literature Review
In order to conduct critical literature review, Tesla's innovation capability would be reviewed.
According to (Forbes, 2018), Tesla has been listed as second most innovative company in the world. Tesla as new comer, it has achieved world 42 nd growth champion. Tesla indeed shows greatness in innovation both technology and management. According to (Forbes, 2016), it is the most innovative company in the world. The firm's innovation is one of most valued in current market and it is one of leading company.
PayPal founder Elon Musk started few startup companies such as Zip2, X.com, Space X, Tesla and funded the firm; Everdream and SolarCity. One of his company Tesla is the firm which manufactures electric vehicles (Vance, 2013).
Tesla is the only company that is vertically integrated energy company in the world. The firm is vehicle manufacturer which produces autopilot system mounted electrical sedans and SUVs. It also deals with energy storage system and all relevant area of solar power generation which all these factors are clear reasons to be differentiation for Tesla from other vehicle manufacturers (Tesla, 2016). Tesla is can be very simple organization however, it is somewhat integrated body of few organizations which produces cutting-edge technology (Tesla, 2018). Tesla is one of most innovative companies in the world with analysis of business model (Forbes, 2016). The company has sub-categories for green tech products and it innovates most efficient driving and has future-oriented management. Studying of (CENDROWSKI, 2017), (Anon., 2017), (Tesla, 2016), (Tesla, 2018), (MarketLine, 2015) highlights that the firm is also one of the well-known electric vehicle provider in the world and it has been globally recognized.

Business Model for Tesla
-Tesla's main key activities are producing electric vehicle, solar power panel and power storage wall as well as it offers financial service and hardware installation (Tesla, 2016). As well as it designs future transportation such as electric truck (Vance, 2017). Tesla used to make roadsters and sedans however, today Tesla website offers 4 categories; Model S, Model X, Model 3 and Energy (Tesla, 2018). Roadster previously introduced to US market place was discontinued while new models were released into market place. Model S is typical sedan with electric power engine, four-door and huge touch screen panel in dashboard with autonomous driving system (Tesla, 2016). Second product followed by Model S is Model X which is Tesla's SUVs then it comes with last vehicle product that is Model 3. This model that recently introduced is less luxury by comparison to other models and it will not be available until mid-to-late 2017 (MINGIS, 2016).
-Tesla's innovation for a software update made viable autonomous driving in reality which is significant key resource for the firm (Bradley, c. 2012(Bradley, c. , p. 2017).

Figure 1. Tesla's contact points with customers
Tesla has somewhat different approach to customer, traditionally auto manufacturer has distribution channel which is called car dealer and dealer used to be communication for customer to its firm, but Tesla has showroom and website which has functions to communicate and buy online (Hoffman, c. 2012(Hoffman, c. , p. 2017. Page updates of Tesla's website provides user's interface which user can upload their story about Tesla experience as well as firm press its own article on the page (Tesla, 2018). This channel innovation is significant. Tesla has its own showrooms and website for sales. Tesla delivered its first car to New Zealand while it does not have dealership but while ongoing for opening of Tesla store (Anon., 2017). Tesla sales is growing in China. Customers ordering cars from both dealership and website as well as many customers are approaching to Tesla store (CENDROWSKI, 2017).
Tesla's value positioning highlights with powerwall storage system which is first innovation in the market. As EV producer, it has shifted for energy producing and storage manufacturer by acquiring partner firm, SolarCity (Giulietti, et al., 2015). Tesla website offers Energy which provides Solar panels, Powerwall, and Solar roof to generate and store energy for personal usage and this can power Tesla's electric vehicle (Tesla, 2018).
Tesla was founded by some of Silicon Valley's engineers in 2003 in order to cut off carbon dioxide emission, is energy innovation leader and is power generator firm. Its firm operates assembly factory in Lathrop, California as well as firm operates manufacturing tentacles in Tilburg, Netherlands. Tesla is also going for wing its production by building new Gigafactory to increase productions in Reno, Nevada. Its facilities are growing and eventually it will cause mass production of vehicle (Bilbeisi & Kesse, c. 2012, p. 2017).
-Cost structure shows that price of Tesla is quite higher. Discontinued the roadster was price as $109,000(USD), Model S is priced as $90,000, Model X is priced as $90,000(EST.) and Model 3 is priced (DYER & FURR, 2015). These products are considered to be luxurious and its competitors are such luxury brand BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne, Volvo XC90 and Audi Q6 (Fehrenbacher, 2015).

How Tesla Reaches Its Customers
Online Sales ying of (Tidd on with produ can be referre w of (KOSOW ngine. Innova    Vol. 15, No. 6; about high innovation. By studying of the firm's report (Tesla, 2016), Model S and Model X are the longest range of all of sedan and SUV in the world. With reduced cost, its range is almost 500 miles (Bilbeisi & Kesse, c. 2012, p. 2017. By review of (FRPT, c. 2012(FRPT, c. , p. 2016, there was clear issue reported from Der Spiegel, Germany with technical security issue but there was no investing procedure against Tesla. According to (Vance, 2014), some Silicon Valley firms has been working for raise quality of software. The enhancement on quality of software included with availability of low price, powerful processors and sensors and more reliable mechatronics for viable operating system. The strengthening combination of hardware with software brings about Tesla's product advantage in products (Vance, 2013).
Tesla's cars show off with high price as luxurious sedan (Fehrenbacher, 2015). However, Tesla initialized to produce low priced mid-size vehicle to represent to lower income consumers (ANDERSON, 2014) & (MINGIS, 2016). As well as, Tesla designs high-performance and tech savvy products (Tesla, 2016).

-Process of Tesla
According to (Stringham, et al., 2015), to penetrate existing automobile industry has the barriers to entry. There is significant initial burning which is excessive cost of entry, economics of scale and network effects from distribution. The researcher (Bartman, 2015) indicates that the firm did not reach successful scale with high cost.
Tesla has added additional Gigafactories. Gigafactory 1 is outside of Reno, Nevada and other is in upstate New York. There is consideration of construction in Australia, China, Japan, Sweden and east coast of US (Knights, 2017). Gigafactory 2 is in Buffalo, New York (Carr, 2017).
To overcome economy of scale, the firm operates oversea, its European headquarter and facilities are located in Amsterdam and Tilburg, the Netherlands. For reliable supply chain, the firm developed close relationship in terms of procurement of cells and some key system parts from around the world (Tesla, 2018).
In order to bring more valued products, Tesla has key partnership with Panasonic for increase quality and decrease the cost (KOSOWATZ, 2017).

-Position of Tesla
According to (Cornell & Damodaran, c. 2012, p. 2017  Tesla's positioning for expansion added Solar Panels, Powerwall and Solar Roof. As well as its business expanded to installation for home owners (Lambert, 2018).
These can be crucial factors for innovation positioning and according to (Forbes, 2016), it is the most innovative company in the world.

-Paradigm of Tesla
Tesla denies conventional distribution approach and it sells directly to customers (Chronowski, et al., 2017).
Tesla brought the network and distribution effect as its Showrooms, Galleries, Pop-up shops, Website and department stores (McCorvey, 2016).
Tesla's innovation management provides faster and more reliable purchasing (Dana Hull, c. 2012, p. 2017). Conventional buying process takes 8 steps. However, new step reduces procedure as visiting a showroom or website, selection with deposit, waiting for order, paying and delivery.

Evaluation of Components of Innovative Organization with Tesla
To integrate of theoretical innovation management models into the analysis of Tesla, there are seven factors for review. the highest indulgence which indicates that the Netherlands is suitable place for office work. Cultural dimension clearly highlights that the Netherlands is suitable place for head office and some facilities. The highest indulgence rate maybe the reason why the Netherlands has 2 nd highest consumption on Tesla products in Europe (Jones, 2014).
By analysis of statements above, concept of work place and leadership of Tesla which made of very independent and short and fast responding firm's culture by employees and this is one of most crucial factors for leadership in terms of software updates in the United States. CEO, himself is deeply involved with inter-communication with consumers and direction for consumers by online media as Tesla's branding image. However, it is more incremental leadership in other nations with hardware perspective. Even 60% of CEO answers that they want progress to be secret, others share, and scholars advise for keeping it transparent to be the board helps to foster bonds and ameliorate relationship with the board, confidentiality is not the answer as coaching is losing stigma 4 Most concerned for CEO is how to handle conflict in ranks

5
The boards want CEOs to improve talent development by more coaching, leading and delegation for the firms which offers strengthen organization and successful performance

6
CEOs hire coaching service for internal and external improvement Tesla CEO is somewhat different than this survey, because of CEO improves talent development by leading and delegation for the firms which offers strengthen organization and successful performance. As (Hofstede, 2018) shows that Individualism is lower in South Africa and CEO has involved various ways of activities (Tesla, 2018). It can be inferred as Tesla's leadership is very unique in style.

Transformational Leadership and Transactional Leadership
Elon is the oldest sibling. According to his brother, Kimbol, he was big reader and considerable person while they were growing up in South Africa (Vance, 2013). Elon and (Rifkin, 2003) who suggested alternative energy, have common background that they studied in the University of Pennsylvania.
His achievement before establishing Tesla was co-founding of online transaction company, PayPal. It was momentous success then acquired by eBay. Elon Musk has great achievement of founding of Space X (Vance, 2013).
By analysis, Elon Musk is very considerable person. His work experience gives Tesla online marketing strategy. His ways of business doing is trending IT tech and demonstrating viable future technology. He involves with wise range of work in Tesla which highlights that he is significantly working harder than other founders.
By analysis of (Hofstede, 2018), power distance would be normal. Individualism must be high because of he involves with wise scope of work. Masculinity maybe normal, he can work in office and he is also an engineer. Uncertainty avoidance maybe high, because of he works for improving autopilot to reduce accident. He maybe mid-term orientation person. US culture in Silicon Valley can be short-term but other Tesla's locations can be long-term perspective. His indulgence rate may be lower than another founder, because of he sacrifices and works for Tesla.
Transformational leadership serves to alter the system by simplify to employees the issues in the present system and a compelling vision of what a new structure of organization should be. Transactional leadership searches to hold down stable statue in the organization though social and economic trades which gain certain target for both of CEO and employees and is more concerned with individual, group and organizational performance. Elon Musk's leadership can be defined as transformational leadership. Tesla is new comer to the market with green technology which weighs on its tremendous vision and it is future orientation.
-10 Leadership Competencies The top 10 leadership competencies, grouped into five themes when 195 global leaders were asked to rate 74 qualities, these rose to the top. By analysis of (Tesla, 2018), Tesla was established for moves toward a zero-emission future which the statement of business and leadership are high ethical and moral standards.
By analysis of (Vance, 2013), Elon Musk has reliable reference from Kimbol which the statements highlight that his earlier life was considerable.
By analysis of (DYER & FURR, 2015), he selects employees without their backgrounds such as education and other discrimination. According to Chief Information Officer, Jay Vijayan, He wants the best. Elon Musk said that 'I don't care if they graduated from university or even high school'.
By analysis of (Chafkin, 2016), there are three founders such as Elon Musk, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. Regardless other do not concern with business, Elon Musk puts himself into development of Tesla scrupulously.

Provides Goals and Objectives with Loose Guidelines/Direction
By analysis of (Stringham, et al., 2015) Martin Eberhard as co-founder of Tesla states that his vision for the company and the future is to bring their first to the market quickly and efficiently. His vision focused for cost reduction, faster chain supply and simple distribution.
By analysis of (Tesla, 2018), Tesla's vision for faster the world stops using on conventional energy and moves toward zero-emission future, the better. The firm's 'Secret Master Plan' in 2016, introduced low-priced electric vehicle, Model 3. Gigafactory is built for reducing battery cell cost and production is willing to meet innovation goal and creating plenty of workplaces. The firm's vision delivers affordable, clean transportation, clean energy production and will to be more powerful of those. It is vision as Tesla's present goal for the future, leadership states.

Clearly Communicates Expectations
By analysis of (Tesla, 2018), CEO Elon Musk has wide scope of role in Tesla which inter-communication among departments maybe not necessary with his command of several offices. Central management can directly give and receive order and feedback.

Has the flexibility to change opinions
By analysis of (Vance, 2013), (Stringham, et al., 2015) and (Wrolstad, 2017), Tesla has main innovation from partner R&D and global projects with other organization. This factor leads that Tesla has the flexibility to change ijbm.ccsen opinions

CEO Elo works in controllin
According to (CENDROWSKI, 2017), China has rising demand of electric vehicle and Tesla is catching eyes of Chinese customers. However, Telsa's global business in China would be in deep concern. Trade war between US and China is basically imposing tariff on importing goods from each others. This phenomenon will increase potentially price of products. There is 25% of tariff on Tesla's electric vehicle.
This phenomenon can move supply curve up. This will result equilibrium point goes up. The equilibrium point for price will move from P1 to P and for quantity will move from Q1 to Q. This tariff by the trade war would expect lower demand and higher the price in market place which is vice versa phenomenon of government subsidy effect (Rosenbaum, 2018). This is one crucial point because of Adam Smith's theory of Invisible hand indicates that great demand is leading economics activities. China is the world second largest market and has highest population in the world. To gain more demand, Tesla needs to cut down cost of production which should meet with economy of scale and Tesla also needs to focus on low priced vehicle, Model 3 is well example. Innovation process and product would be focused with current issue.
Quota is simply political policy that setting restriction for limitation. Previously, US government tried to control oil market by setting import quota on oil (Yergin, 1992). In emission trading system, there is limitation of approved amount of emission set by the government. This system can be quota system. Previously, we have significant experience and testing on fluctuation of supply and demand curve in terms of couple of oil shocks in the past period (HAY, c. 1970(HAY, c. , p. 2017. As same as Oil Quota, cap and trade is tremendous pressure for all of fossil fuel energy industries. This is significant factor for Tesla's expansion on solar power business (WESTERFIELD & Ellison, 2007). As Tesla announces its products benefit tremendous economic value for isolated islands around the world. Tesla's solar power energy has advantage over cap and trade as well as it suits well for rural areas (Tesla, 2018).
There are leading electric car manufacturers such as General Motors, Nissan, Tesla and Toyota. Especially, Toyota is no.1 brand in the US. Hybrid power engine can be one of substitutes which harness both fossil-fuel power and electric power (MarketLine, 2017). There are issues with oil price and battery. Hybrid can be one of best fit in to reduce problem with full electric vehicle (KOSOWATZ, 2017).
Tesla's products by analysis of income elasticity of demand indicates that these products are not viable technology for below middle-class. So, below middle-class can look for alternative energy sources and transportation. They could simply go with conventional power source which does not require to invest on new innovation. Tesla's facilities are located in where sunshine is abundant such as California and Nevada. However, States in Pacific Northwest does not have much sunlight. The State of Oregon introduced wind power energy. This would be significant threat for Tesla (Sickinger, 2012). In Midwest, biodiesel is natural resource because of it is plain land and it is known as land of corn field. Thus, harnessing biodiesel is useful (Wilhelm, 2015).
Electric vehicle and Solar energy are complement each other. When consumers are looking for EV, they are prone to keen on renewable energy sources. Tesla's internal complement is crucially positive in marketing perspective (Jobbers & ELLIS-CHADWICK, 2013).

Results
Economy perspective: Tesla's position in US market is significant. It is the world most innovative company. However, Tesla's products are not for everyone in normal life. These products can be normal good, but the products are more prone to middle-class tech savvy consumers as it is written in (Tesla, 2016). As well as for solar energy products, consumers are supposed to be home owners or organizational groups. Approaching to the market can be burdensome. This factor should lead firms for market segregation.
Politic perspective: By analysis there are two major factors on higher demand for Tesla by the US Government controls. First is subsidies tax credits and incentives on electric vehicle encourage more attention on Tesla. Lastly, Cap and Trade, the emission trading economy policy is one innovation push for conventional businesses and mostly likely the conventional organizations would shift to green energy. There is also advantage from government which is plan for charging station and DEQ testing waiver. Tesla has green light in terms of future perspective.
Market analysis: Tesla has threat from other electric vehicle producers and different type of green energy producers. This factor indicates that Tesla as new comer with high tech into conventional market is not monopoly. Tesla's electric engine can be adopted to most of other manufacturers. This is significant threat for Tesla. Other can shift production line to EV. Solar energy takes minute percentage of all energy sources. Other green energy can be Tesla's huge substitute.
Global phenomenon leads Tesla in great threat in US-China trade war. The trade war is imposing massive tariff in order to protect domestic businesses. As one of US products, Tesla has faced significant threat. The review above indicates that Tesla is new comer and the company should reach economy of scale in terms of reduce costs. Tesla indeed needs various ways of approach and innovation.

Conclusions
Innovation management is significant in the present time. As a new comer to the conventional market. There is existing barrier for later comer. There is tremendous initial cash burning at starts which is significant problem. Tesla has entered the current conventional market place. When Tesla introduced it has different strategy. Tesla's innovation in various ways of trials was indeed needed to overcome existing disadvantage as later comer.
Telsa's products take on incremental innovation, however its software takes on radical innovation. Telsa's products are prone to take attention from innovators, early adopters and tech savvy consumers. Telsa has reached to current market with electric car that has autopilot system. It is significant innovation. Putting mechanical and electrical technology into one transportation is remarkable change There is wide range of innovation in Tesla. In terms of reach economy of scale and mass production, Tesla has built and plan for Gigafactories around the world. Global expansion such as European headquarter, facilities and global partnership enhance its significant innovation for Tesla products and its process of production.
As electric vehicle manufacturer, Tesla has integration with complement SolarCity which produces solar panels. Tesla products can harness solar energy for home and vehicle. With the energy produced by its solar power, Telsa's EV is winged.
Innovation of Tesla's market approach takes different ways as online website, and its company owned showrooms. As well as, the company does not support any sponsorship nor spending on commercial. This innovation paradigm affects positively on cost reduction.
Tesla is known as world most innovative company. Its innovation and creative climate comes from cost saving management, partnership R&D and global projects. Tesla's innovation has focused on new model of channel, more reliable software updates and current issue with battery. In order to achieve this working, Tesla has developed considerable relationship with employees. Its employees participate in numerous team projects.

Figure 13. Internal innovation formula
Tesla's CEO role is crucial in the organization and his leadership can be considerable innovation component or push. Elon Musk has 3 countries in his background. Born in South Africa, Canadian-American business person. Vision from leadership is transformational. Transformational leadership encourages the organization to follow futuristic mission. Most of Elon Musk's companies follow mission into future. His previous achievement PayPal was radical innovation. In the present time, Tesla and Space X are on route with mission for future. Also, it is not difficult to find news article about his plan for future. Hyperloop train and underground transportation as Boring company are significantly futuristic oriented vision of business organizations for normal businesses.
Tesla's innovation is coming from global involvement. Global projects and partnership R&D are major innovation. As well as Elon Musk's other company Space X is also interconnected with Tesla in terms of collaboration for R&D. As new comer to current conventional market, Tesla has little experience and previously acquired knowledge and learning, so this global projects and partnership research are tremendously effective to enhance technology of Tesla. Nowadays, Tesla's battery range within single charge is one of the longest yard on the road.  Vol. 15, No. 6; with various roles. As a startup company, there is huge initial cash burning. Tesla is required to economize on structure, management, process, branding and commercial. This way, the company can reduce redundancy. Thus, structure of the organization is significantly cost reduction. However, this factor can be tremendous burden for CEO, Elon Musk. He is a man and one man can not do much work, but some people can work more than he can.
There is no celebrity sponsorship nor commercial for Tesla branding. However, CEO Elon Musk starred in the Hollywood movie 'Iron Man'. This is positive ways of indirect branding by key individual.
Overall, leadership of Tesla is Narcissist way of Elon Musk's vision and working. Tesla's leadership and innovation management come from mainly himself. He is the brand of Tesla and he is the face of the company. Elon Musk's role is over-acting in the organization.

Figure 1. External Innovation Formula
Tesla is world most innovative company and having tremendous attention in the media. However, it is not the leading energy sources. There are numerous sources of energy. Fossil fuel energy is still majority. Renewable energy is small part of entire energy sources. Among renewable energy, it has small portion of total renewable energy usage. Thus, usage of solar power energy is minute. Problem with solar power is it is only suitable where sunshine is abundant. But, it does not suit some States such as Pacific Northwest (Oregon and Washington) and some Midwest States. Geographical factor is crucial for Tesla's business.
US government encourages, and grants benefit for buyers and users of electric vehicle and solar energy. As well as, cap and trade as emission trading policy is opportunity for Tesla. These factors can be green light for Tesla. However, there are some alternative options which can replace Tesla's EV. Especially, no.1 car brand Toyota produces hybrid car and has plan for better electric vehicle in US market. Tesla's market share in US market is not significant but it has tremendous public attention from media. There is opportunity granted from political level and Tesla is in the round with some other electric vehicle manufacturers. So, Tesla should always apply its the latest updates of software and the finest technology of hardware.
Tesla's products are inclined to be in harsh threat from US-China trade war by imposing high tariff. This factor discourage demand by higher price. Tesla has issues which it has not reached economy of scale and it could not produce lower priced electric vehicle. Thus, Tesla's innovation would force lower the cost of production and production line for lower price electric vehicle.
Overall, Tesla's business is not in blue ocean nor red ocean. It entered to niche market which has very little proportion out of entire relevant industry. Tesla's entrance was difficult and taking over high market share would be also difficult not only in the United States, but also in the world.
