Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain innovation and its kinds, relay theories, measurement and policy from economics and management sources with attribution, describe support institutions such as incubators, and distinguish innovation from invention and creativity.

The creation and successful introduction of something new or significantly improved, whether a product, service, process, method or organisational form, arising from invention, research, design and diffusion, in forms such as technological and digital innovation, teaching method innovation, communal and Indigenous innovation such as Maori innovation, and supported by institutions such as technology incubators and accelerators; innovation is studied in economics and management, measured by indicators, and promoted by policy.

What it is for: Creating and adopting new value.

It can be explain the concept and kinds; relay theories and measurement; describe support institutions; distinguish from invention.

Distinguishing features

Novelty plus adoption

Product to organisational forms

Measured by indicators

Policy target

What it looks like

Not a visible object; new products, processes and practices.

Physical character

Oslo Manual editions: 4 count - latest 2018

global R&D spending: about 2.5 trillion USD - per year

How it is recognised

Successful introduction of the new

Technological, digital, teaching method, communal and Maori innovation; incubators and accelerators

Invention is the new idea; creativity is the capacity; diffusion is the spread

What the second pass must settle

  • Should technological innovation and business incubator be separate primary entries?
  • How should OECD and management sources be linked?
  • The registry entry has merged aliases naming kinds and institutions; should they be split off?
