Innovation is a new idea which, when implemented, leads to a more effective device or process. Innovation can be viewed as the application of better solutions that meet new requirements, unarticulated needs, or existing market needs. This is accomplished through more effective
products,
processes,
services,
technologies, or business models that are readily available to
markets,
governments and
society. The term innovation can be defined as something original and more effective and, as a consequence, new, that "breaks into" the market or society.
