Innovation and Change: Spin Master 1994 – The Seeds of First Growth: the Earth Buddy (6 marks) 1994: The Seeds of First Growth: the Earth Buddy While at the University of Western Ontario in the early 1990s, friends Anton Rabie and Ronnen Harary, joined by Ben Varadi, saw the opportunity to develop a novelty concept they later renamed “Earth Buddy.”  With $10,000 in start-up funding, this hand-assembled product (crafted with pantyhose, sawdust, and grass seeds) eventually earned their growing company more than $2 million in sales. The following year, the company renamed itself as Spin Master. In the earliest days you could find the guys toiling in their own garage, elbow deep in sawdust, watching their first product literally sprout before their eyes. Although Earth Buddy was just a small, panty-hose covered head filled with grass seeds, it became an unexpected hit, providing the partners with a firm foundation to build their next ideas. Kmart believed in the item enough to order half a million units, or over $2 million in sales, providing the upstart company with the confidence to deal with mass market retailers in future. REQUIRED: 1. Identify and explain whether Earth Buddy represents an incremental or radical change for Spin Master. 2. Using the information in this mini case, identify and apply each of the five Elements for Successful Change to explain how this unlikely innovation became a success for this new start up.
