Line 1: '''Innovation''' is the introduction of new ideas, goods, services, and practices which are ~~useful (or at least~~mainly intended to be souseful -(though ~~history~~a isnumber ~~littered with~~of unsuccessful innovations can be found throughout history). Innovation has punctuated human history. Economic planners now tout innovation as the route to technological fixes to the crises of [[capitalism]] (for instance, achieving environmental sustainability and cleaning up damage), and it is a central element of many policies to increase competitiveness at corporate and national levels. Whether innovation is manly supply-pushed (based on new technological possibilities) or demand-led (based on social needs and market requirements) has been a hotly-debated topic. One point of view is that "recognition of demand is a more frequent factor in successful innovation than recognition of technical potential." (Marquis 1969)
