Abstract:

In this article the authors discuss the definition of innovation, its associated process, and related

measurement tools. The definition of innovation is a process of creativity leading to something highly

useful and novel. The purpose of this article is to define the difference between creativity and innovation,

outline the process of innovation, and discuss measures of innovation. Our research suggests that

creativity is a subcomponent of the innovation process, and is focused on divergent ideas. Whereas the

purpose of innovation is to use divergent ideas towards a convergent solution that is both highly novel

and useful.
