”If innovation is the commercial application of
existing knowledge in a new context,
technologically driven innovation is only one
form of this. Innovation is distinct from
research, which results in new knowledge
and from the entrepreneurial function that
spots market opportunities for products and
services. It is the result of the interaction of
these two functions”
