18601. APPLIED RESEARCH TECHNOLOGIES, INC.: GLOBAL INNOVATION’S CHALLENGES HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL CASE STUDY 4166. This paper provides a Berkeley Research case study analysis and case solution to a Harvard Business School case study by Christopher A. Bartlett and Heather Beckham on innovation, product development and organizational behavior in the Filtration Unit of Applied Research Technologies, a diversified technology company. The case focuses on the under-performing Filtration Unit and questions about whether top management should back the unit’s expensive but promising new product under development or whether the unit should simply be shut down. The analysis considers the problem both from the perspective of the unit manager and the perspective of the divisional vice president. The paper includes problem definition, problem analysis with SWOT, discussion and assessment of alternatives, recommendations for action, and an outline of an implementation plan.
