Eric%u2014Your point about innovation being clearly distinct from invention is a fantastic one. This is something that was bothering me while I was thinking about innovation, so I'm glad you raised it.
This is why innovation just for innovation's sake isn't a good idea. It's not really innovation%u2014it's invention. Is there a further definition of what makes invention distinct from innovation? It seems that invention can also be used to try to solve a problem (like Edison creating the light bulb). Obviously Edison was an inventor and the light bulb was an invention. Was it also an innovation? -dave David B.
