What it is Filled
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.
Why it exists Filled
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.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Novelty plus adoption
- Product to organisational forms
- Measured by indicators
- Policy target
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Use innovation as a buzzword to dress up unchanged products.
- Present one theory of innovation as settled.
- Pass off someone else's invention or idea as another's innovation.
- Ignore social and Indigenous innovation when describing who innovates.
Only with a human decision
- Filing patents or publishing ideas on someone's behalf.
May
- Explain kinds of innovation and theories of diffusion, attributing contested theories.
- Help a team document and assess new ideas they own.
Moral aspects Filled
- Credit for innovation is often taken from those who did the work.
- New products can carry risks that innovation rhetoric hides.
Who is affected
- Inventors and workers
- Users of new products
- Communities whose knowledge is used
Owners Filled
