Innovation

Research is done when a certain subject is being studied, while innovation is the result of research. Innovation helps to keep businesses operating by allowing researchers, and engineers to be able to create new products that will help benefit the consumers, allowing the company to grow and substantially increase the development of the country. One significant innovation was the engine that was created in 1712 by Thomas Newcomen. It was, first created to be used in navigation and succeeding to power

or products,” suggests that innovation is now just development of an old idea. In this definition there seems to be no mention of inventing but rather only the alteration of a product in a way never done before. It’s not that the alteration of a product is bad thing but it does create a very limited thinking world; a world that relies on the blueprints of the past to create a future. So have we really lost our ability to innovate? Not really, it’s just that innovation has become merely focused on

In essence, diffusion is the process where adopters (individuals
