Innovation creates success and being innovative is one of the keys to being successful. This is the fact that every entrepreneur understands. Innovation is the introduction of new processes, new ways of doing things and revolutionizing how things have been accomplished previously.

From an entrepreneurial context, the definition of innovation that could be used is " The successful exploitation of new ideas". In this context, it's not just about an innovative idea, but an idea that has been exploited in some way , leading to a new product , process, services or some thing with added value.

In today's context, innovation is not an option, it is a strategic imperative - be it incremental innovation of adapting something exiting to a
new setting, or a completely new idea. Every entrepreneur understands this
and is constantly striving to foster this.
