The IPod is a clear example on how an organisation can properly execute the Cyclic Innovation Model. The IPod introduction and implementation can be broken down into the various steps and nodes.

Many consumers will easily pay the added difference to purchase the mobile device that has an internal iPod.This product has enabled Apple to fight off competitors who have looked at possible beating the organisation to creating such a product.
