In recent, scholars, academics and researchers around the world are taking great interest in innovation as it has been come up as to support corporate in order to expand their customer base and market along with gaining edge over its rivals. However, innovation has been seen in two different ways such as single event or a process in which latter has been widely accepted among scholars fraternity. There are different models have surfaced on innovation though cyclic innovation has stayed relevant till now. Cyclic innovation is a reliable framework because of its endless innovation circle and makes a network process of innovation which has been suggested by Hartmann and Trott (2010).

Kanter, (2006) has suggested that company can ripe the benefits of innovation if they invest most of their resources on successful innovative products and small portion of their investment on early ideas. In case of Amazon which has spent a lot of its investment on plenty of new products which could not live up the expectations of customers and markets. It could be only possible to by investing more on successful innovative products rather investing on plenty of innovative products.

However, certain failures can be managed at early stages of innovation cycle as investment is low so the risk. Amazon needs to test its innovation ideas in its early stages such as ideas generation and development areas which can improve the success rate of its innovative products and able to generate profit out of them.

Creativity is a fundamental block of innovation though it is complicated to change the mindset of people of the company who are familiar with old pattern or facing difficulty to adapt to new situations. In addition to that new ideas need resources to test its feasibility which can able to generate profit for the company in long run along with minimizing the cost of innovation at early stages in case of failures. On the other side, if company does not take action on new ideas from its people, it discourages them to come up with new ideas. Therefore, strike a balance between keep motivating its employees to come up with new ideas and at the same time if take actions on those ideas or not is a huge dilemma for the company.
