Dear friends,Here is an opinion by me which separates Invention from Innovation to very much extend.
From the early history of mankind and development there were several inventions and most of those inventions were Innovations except a few. This is a proven fact that the discovery of electric current by Benjamin Franklin, the inventions of Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison, momentous flight of the Wright brothers, Dr. Jagdish Chandra Basu results on plants or anyone else were innovations because of the fact that in the definition of innovation itself it is said that anything which is entirely new is Innovation. Now the matter of discussion is that whether these things were not new of there type or is the definition of innovation is not correct. It should also be noted that discovery is a different thing than invention and innovation because discovered things are those which are already present.
Here I would like to add one more thing that knowledge management plays a vital role in the process of invention but at the same time this is not a fact for all the inventions. But as far as innovation is considered KM is mostly the constructive source except a few. It is a hot going debate and will continue for some days in this blog…. Keep in touch…
It is the time let us do anything either it is Innovation, Invention or Discovery.
hi friend, very well you have written.
ReplyDeletein my opinion, invention means creat new things that is not present in the world at all. but, innovation means is that thing which makes present things more advance than previous one by using technology, hereinnoation does not mean advancement of technology, it means thinking of smart people beyond the imagination of common people. unfortunately some people think it is only advancement of technology.
thank you.
