- The term innovation derives from the Latin word innovatus, which is the noun form of innovare "to renew or change," stemming from in—"into" + novus—"new". Although the term is broadly used, innovation generally refers to the creation of better or more effectiveproducts, processes, technologies, or ideas that are accepted by markets, governments, and society. Innovation differs from invention or renovation in that innovation generally signifies a substantial positive change compared to incremental changes.
- These are grass-root innovationsThey are practicalThey are simple to useThey are environment friendlyThe value proposition is clearThey are affordable They are made with locally-sourced resourcesThey have a large impact
- An idea can change your lifeIdeationis an important stage in the innovation process.Web 2.0 has opened new channels for companies to get new ideas from employees, customers, user community, thought leaders and competition.
- For a long time now, academics have believed that at a social level, it is necessary to fulfill basic requirements like food, safety, social needs etc before people can think about innovation, which is achievable only as a means of self-actualization. The theory doesn’t hold well because many innovations in emerging economies are made by poor people. Also, it is possible for poor people to be self-actualised.
- Driver #2: ManagersmatterLet's not forget that creativity needs action to become innovation. Companies must do more with their employees' creativity than just acknowledging that an employee has a good idea. That's why managers matter.Looking at the four categories of innovators, often the inventors, entrepreneurs, and high achievers would be nothing without that last category: super mentors, Clifton said. "When it comes to innovation, mentors play a key role, because they're the people who say, 'That's a great idea. You can make a lucrative business of that,'" Clifton said. Super mentors inspire their protégés and help them connect with the people who can couple action with their ideas -- as some of the best managers do.

- Radical innovation can render industry standard competencies: skills, tools, processes, investments – useless. Before selling outside, it is important to sell within
- David Teece clarified that two factors – imitability and complementary assets – will have a strong influence in determining who will ultimately profit from an innovation. Imitability refers to how easily competitors can copy or duplicate the technology or process underpining the innovation. There are many examples of barriers a company could use to protect itself from imitation, including intelectual property rights, complex internal routines or tacit knowledge.http://innovationzen.com/blog/2006/08/24/innovation-management-theory-part-5/
- In Crossing the Chasm, Moore begins with the diffusion of innovations theory from Everett Rogers, and argues there is a chasm between the early adopters of the product (the technology enthusiasts and visionaries) and the early majority (the pragmatists). Moore believes visionaries and pragmatists have very different expectations, and he attempts to explore those differences and suggest techniques to successfully cross the "chasm," including choosing a target market, understanding the whole product concept, positioning the product, building a marketing strategy, choosing the most appropriate distribution channel and pricing.Crossing the Chasm is closely related to the technology adoption lifecycle where five main segments are recognized; innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority and laggards. According to Moore, the marketer should focus on one group of customers at a time, using each group as a base for marketing to the next group. The most difficult step is making the transition between visionaries (early adopters) and pragmatists (early majority). This is the chasm that he refers to. If a successful firm can create a bandwagon effect in which enough momentum builds, then the product becomes a de facto standard. However, Moore's theories are only applicable for disruptive or discontinuous innovations. Adoption of continuous innovations (that do not force a significant change of behavior by the customer) are still best described by the original technology adoption lifecycle. Confusion between continuous and discontinuous innovation is a leading cause of failure for high tech products
