innovation

Technological innovation places greater value on agility .

It often leads to innovations in other related fields.

But not many are able to integrate innovation into their business.

Almost all companies recognise the importance of innovation today.

At the same time, technological innovation (创新) will barely pause for breath, and two big political changes seem likely.

As our special report in this issue (printed before Mr Jobs's death) explains, innovation used to spill over from military and corporate laboratories to the consumer market, but lately this process has gone into reverse.

What is mentioned in this issue's special report about innovation nowadays

A commentary in the Shanghai Daily points out that innovation doesn't mean piles of documents.

According to a new Pew Research Center survey on women and leadership, most Americans find women indistinguishable from men on key leadership traits such as intelligence and capacity for innovation, with many saying they're stronger than men in terms of b

It also has a special innovation facility for its employees.

Procter and Gamble has a "Corporate Innovation Fund" which offers big rewards for high-risk ideas that succeed.

Sometimes its employees are released from their daily jobs for weeks and spend their time interacting in the innovation facility instead.

Technological innovation places greater value on agility.

The article cites the global giant Procter and Gamble as an example, saying a real innovative company should develop an innovation culture and use it as a primary tool for success.

The article says many people tend to assume that innovation just means creating something new, but actually it's more than that.

The center of American automobile innovation has in the past decade moved 2, 000 miles away.

The driving force behind much of this change was an innovation popularly known as the Internet.

The personal computing revolution and philosophy of disruptive innovation of silicon Valley grew, in part, out of the creations of the Homebrew Computer Chub, which was founded in a garage in Menlo Park, California, in the mid-1970s.

There is strong evidence that both innovation and adoption of cleaner technology are strongly encouraged by higher fossil fuel prices.

Technological innovations have unleashed the power of renewables such as wind, hydro, solar, and geothermal .

Notwithstanding important recent progress in developing renewable fuel sources, low fossil fuel prices could discourage further innovation in, and adoption of, cleaner energy technologies.

Higher fossil fuel prices prove to be conducive to innovation and application of cleaner technologyIf fossil fuel prices remain low for a long time, it may lead to higher emissions of greenhouse gases.

By raising relative demand for clean energy sources, a carbon price would also help align the market return to clean-energy innovation with its social return, spurring the refinement of existing technologies and the development of new ones.

Testing innovations do no good unless the good experiments are identified and expanded and the bad ones are dropped.

As a report in The New England Journal of Medicine concluded, Pretty much every proposed innovation found in the health policy literature these days is contained in these measures.

So Mike, you managed the innovation  project at CucinTech.

We have to understand and think about the implications, and balance these great innovations with the potential downsides they naturally carry with them.

In his eyes, however, that doesn't necessarily mean that innovation has stopped.

For years, smartphones, televisions, tablets, laptops and desktops have made up a huge part of the market and driven innovation.

And it is hard not to think: Are we in an innovation lull ?In some ways, the answer is yes.

Societies that cannot replace their populations discourage investment and innovation.

It cannot be realized without technological innovation

Patent rights should be protected to encourage innovation.

High savings lead, over time, to increased investment, which in turn generates productivity gains, innovation and job growth.

Artificial intelligence is key to future technological innovations.

But while much of the research and innovation has concentrated on finding less-polluting energy alternatives, it may be decades before clean technologies like wind and solar meet a significant portion of our energy needs.

These sorts of innovations can help American universities avoid the perils of success.

We should take this concern seriously as universities are key in the national innovation system.

And it is hard not to think: Are we in an innovation lull?

For years, smartphones, televisions, tablets, laptops and desktops have made up a huge part of the market and driven innovation.

In his eyes, however, that doesn't necessarily mean that innovation has stopped.

Marketing schedules, not product innovation, are driving the corporate train.

Sara Greenstein, Underwriters Laboratories' chief strategy officer, offered her interpretation of the survey results, "Innovation is too fast only if corners are cut.

So Mike, you managed the innovation project at CucinTech.

So, instead of innovation for innovation's sake and new products being created simply because the technology is there, the company culture must switch from these point-in-time innovations to a continuous pipeline of innovations from everywhere and everyon

Strategic innovation is the process of managing innovation of making sure it takes place at all levels of the company, and that is related to the company's overall strategy.

The first obvious one is that the pace of innovation is too fast for consumers.

The risk is of course that innovation may frequently lead to imitation.

The second less obvious one is that, in fact, innovation is too slow.

Was innovation at the core of the project?

Was the revival in their fortunes entirely due to strategic innovation?

To take this approach to the New Englanders normally mean to start with the Puritans’ theological innovations and their distinctive ideas about the church-important subjects that we may not neglect.

So it seems antithetical to talk about habits in the same context as creativity and innovation.

Other anthropologists believed that cultural innovations, such as inventions, had a single origin and passed from society to society.

To paraphrase the great social scientist Joseph Schumpeter: there is no radical innovation without creative destruction.

These issues all have root causes in human behavior: all require behavioral change and social innovations, as well as technological development.

Global challenges and social innovation ought to receive much more attention from scientists, especially the young ones.

To encourage innovation and competition, the report calls for increased investment in research, the crafting of coherent curricula that improve students’ ability to solve problems and communicate effectively in the 21st century, increased funding for teachers and the encouragement of scholars to bring their learning to bear on the great challenges of the day.

This keeps fees high and innovation slow.

"The first thing needed for innovation is a fascination with wonder," says Dawna Markova, author of "The Open mind".

Critics make three main arguments against gene patents: a gene is a product of nature, so it may not be patented; gene patents suppress innovation rather than reward it; and patents'monopolies restrict access to genetic tests such as Myriad's.

So it seems paradoxical to talk about habits in the same context as creativity and innovation.

To encourage innovation and competition, the report calls for increased investment in research, the crafting of coherent curricula that improve students' ability to solve problems and communicate effectively in the 21st century, increased funding for teac
