What is the Difference Between Innovation and Invention MITID Innovation

Definition of Innovation and Invention The actual development of a new concept or theory is known as invention. It is described as the creation of a concept for doing or doing something without first confirming that it works or is commercially useful. Invention is impossible without creativity, but creativity alone is insufficient to successfully create an idea.

In the industry, innovation binds everything together. The impacts of having a strongly aligned innovation strategy (with the overall company plan) and a pro-innovation culture on the growth of the enterprise's value were explored in a Booz & Co. research, which found a 30% improvement over businesses that didn't have both.

Innovation entails commercialising an invention and promoting its widespread adoption. This is the point at which big ideas, after they've been fully created, are presented to the public. But despite all this, according to a survey by McKinsey Global Innovation, 84% of executives think that innovation is critical to their growth plan, just 6% are pleased with their innovation performance.

Difference Between Innovation and Invention Below are the major distinctions between innovation and invention : • An invention is the phenomenon of a new concept for a device or procedure that has never been produced before. Innovation is described as the first time a product or process concept is put into action.

• Invention has to do with the creation of a modern product. On the other hand, innovation entails adding benefits to a current product or making a transition to it.

• Invention entails coming up with a novel concept and demonstrating how it functions in theory. In contrast to innovation, it is more about putting the latest concept into practice.

• Invention necessitates scientific knowledge. Innovation, on the other hand, necessitates a diverse range of communications, technological, and strategic expertise.

• When a physicist has a new idea, he or she invents something. In contrast, innovation occurs as a need for a new product or an improvement to a current product is identified.

• A single substance or procedure is the subject of the invention. Innovation, on the other hand, is concerned with the synthesis of different goods and services.

• Although the invention is restricted to the organization's research and development department. The culture of innovation is pervasive in the organisation.

Examples of Innovation

• Almond milk and oat milk • Small electric cars • iPhones and other gadgets made by Apple Inc. • LED screens by LG • Zara’s policy to not spend on advertising A survey done by BCG showed that companies that have product and policy innovation examples as shown above do better than 77% competitors which is what separates them from the rest.

Examples of Invention • • • • •

Airplane by Wright Brothers Steam Turbine by Charles Parsons Light Bulb by Thomas Edison Electricity by Benjamin Franklin Alternating current machinery by Nikola Tesla These are just some of the many great inventions by famous scientists and inventors.
