Invention & Innovation

Innovation is different with invention. Invention is to create a totally new things and innovation is a thing add new idea and improve on it.

From wikipedia: Innovation can therefore be seen as the process that renews something that exists and not, as is commonly assumed, the introduction of something new.


"Innovation . . . is generally understood as the successful introduction of a new thing or method . . . Innovation is the embodiment, combination, or synthesis of knowledge in original, relevant, valued new products, processes, or services.

— Luecke and Katz (2003)


Invention is an evolutionary act which leads to an outcome that is outside of the norm; norm meaning what is known, thus yielding, creation.
