Innovation

Abstract

The dictionary definition of “innovation” is simply “the bringing in of novelties.” The typically exponential growth of technologies is examined, and how new technologies succeed mature ones—in processes of disruption and creative destruction. The balance of technology push and market pull is considered, and other aspects of social value.

Keywords

Disruption; Creative destruction; Technology push; Market pull; Exponential growth; Social value; Conviviality
