Abstract
Innovation is and always was the major driver of economic, technical and social change. Innovation, as an effectual driver of change, seems not only to influence but sometimes also to dictate the transition into new economic and social structures. More than that, innovation became a kind of industry that tries to develop processes that identify, create or accelerate innovation to empower economic growth and change.
I have learned fifty thousand ways it cannot be done and therefore I am fifty thousand times nearer the final successful experiment.
Thomas A. Edison
