Innovation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term innovation means a new way of doing something. It may refer
to incremental, radical, and revolutionary changes in thinking,
products, processes, or organizations. A distinction is typically
made between Invention, an idea made manifest, and innovation, ideas
applied successfully. (Mckeown 2008) In many fields, something new
must be substantially different to be innovative, not an
insignificant change, e.g., in the arts, economics, business and
government policy. In economics the change must increase value,
customer value, or producer value. The goal of innovation is
positive change, to make someone or something better. Innovation
leading to increased productivity is the fundamental source of
increasing wealth in an economy.
