innovating for your small business

Wednesday, 29 May, 13

Innovation is the development of new values through solutions that meet new requirements, inarticulate needs, or old

customer and market needs in value adding new ways.

This is accomplished through more effective products, processes, services, technologies, or ideas that are readily

available to markets, governments, and society.

Innovation differs from improvement in that innovation refers to the notion of doing something different rather than

doing the same thing better.
