| Abstract: |
Innovation can be defined simply as “invention, improvement or incorporation” but must also offer “increase in value.” These make up four of the “I’s” in Innovation. If the invention, improvement, or incorporation does not offer an increase in value, it is only an alternative, and not an innovation. Innovation can be achieved through a process of asking oneself “Why, why not, and what if?” |
