Innovative methods
Process adaptation involves finding
new ways to do things; it involves
introducing or removing processes.
Competition from online sales and
pirate streaming continue to affect

service was to make all the episodes
of one television series (House
of Cards) available for download

that the risk of piracy would be
lower if consumers were able to
legally buy all episodes at once.
