3. MEANING OF INNOVATION
According to Stephen P Robbins, “Innovation is a new idea applied
to initiating or improving a product, process or service”.
According to Peter Drucker, “Innovation is the means by which the
entrepreneur either creates new wealth producing resources or
endows existing resources with enhanced potential for creating
wealth”.
4. MEANING OF INNOVATION MANAGEMENT
According to Harhoff, “Innovation management can be defined as
the attempt to systematically shape and influence innovation
processes in the company in such a way that the company obtains
an optimal return from the creation and marketing of new
products, services and processes”.
Innovation management is all about taking over and guiding the
four key phases from initial idea through to product launch,
combined with the lifecycle, in the company.
Phase 1: The idea is formulated, an analysis of the state of the art
is conducted and the disadvantage of the current technical
solution are apportioned, i.e., the process of developing a
potential innovation gets under way.
5. Phase 2: The process of protecting the innovation
begins with the preparation of a description of
the problem solution and the filing of rights
application.
Phase 3: Covers enforcement to defence and
preservation.
Phase 4: Covers the implementation, launch and
application of the innovation.
