| Resumen: |
Currently the term “innovation”, most recently also notions of “social innovation”,
rank high on the agenda of business, political and scientific bodies. However, many
innovations produce little impact, whereas only few innovations affect technology,
economy or society on large scale – potent enough to induce measurable impact on
emergent transitions. This applies to what usually is called innovation: New products
and processes or novel qualities in organisation and marketing to secure and expand
market shares, or to enter new markets respectivelyii. Most innovations represent
rather modest progress – despite the noise sometimes made of new devices produced
by industry and requested by consumers. |
