Innovation and Knowledge

The theme of innovation has built the foundation for many discussions and arguments for centuries. In a broader sense, economic historians and sociologists have theorized and demonstrated economic growth and contribution to society as a whole, but many people call innovation "growth engine". Therefore, this introduction starts with some of these theories in order to understand the degree of interest that innovation can bring to enterprises. Famous people such as Karl Marx, Joseph Schumpeter, and Nikola Kondratyev are considered by many as experts in that field. Stimulation coefficient

In the literature on innovation, it is widely believed that innovation and knowledge processes are closely related and interrelated. Innovation requires creation or use of new knowledge. At the same time, knowledge is the basis for understanding and creating new information and knowledge (ie innovation). Therefore, literature on innovation is usually focused on how it is communicated from a knowledgeable entity to another entity. The cost of transferring knowledge is high and the cost of doing so determines not only how the innovation process is implemented but also who is best suited for innovation. Von Hippel expresses the cost of information transmission as "stickiness of information". He defines the viscosity of a given information unit in a given case as the incremental expenditure needed to transfer that information unit to a given location available to a particular information searcher. The basic concept of 107

Since innovation is knowledge, there is no innovation without imagination. Please imagine the experiment and give us knowledge and test them. Without imagination, we have no knowledge. Imagination is a gatekeeper of knowledge. People do not acquire knowledge from knowledge but acquire knowledge from the imagination that leads to knowledge. Knowledge can not be obtained without imagination

New knowledge is a kind of innovation. For example, a dramatic advance in human genome knowledge will certainly provide innovative therapies for many future diseases. The key to whether knowledge brings innovation is the "stunning" of knowledge in the context in which it applies. For example, with our traditional mental model (form of knowledge) on patient movement at primary care clinic, we were able to design new clinic facilities such as parking lot, reception desk and waiting room. Starting thinking about receiving "new knowledge" about the flow of customers from outside the health care system, you may notice the concept of a straight window in the fast food industry and an internet based service in the banking industry. This fresh knowledge may support the creative process of creating ideas about how to use through windows and Internet sites to service patients with new primary care clinics.
