Innovation – What does it mean? • As per Wikipedia “Ever since the invention of innovation the number of definitions of innovation seems to grow even faster than the number of researchers and practitioners in innovation. What is more, the term innovation seems to refer to fundamentally different matters sometimes, which is the case if one colleague calls a new product an innovation while the other two consider an innovation either the process that leads to the new product or the products market diffusion. Starting with the above mentioned minimal consensus on the elective affinity of the concept of innovation and the concept of the new, we will indeed soon find that new refers not only to time, but also to the object dimension (new compared to what?) and the social dimension (new for whom?)
How does Innovation Affect Us? • New methods of procurement and data management • New products and services available for purchase • Changing practices and requirements
