Innovation ingenuity

Abstract

The use of the term innovation has expanded to such an extent that its mere mention, in some field of human endeavor, has given it particular connotations of its own. In most cases, when innovation is mentioned, it is not clear whether it describes a phenomenon, a concept, an idea, a theory or a doctrine. The term has been used so often, and sometimes so lightly, that we no longer know what it really means. We are therefore faced with a polysemy. But let us agree, for now, that it is an idea.
