1. Innovation Essentials: Innovation is Gradual

  • Innovation is nearly always a gradual thing. Eureka moments are rare and possibly non-existent. 
  • It is because of human nature and the intellectual property system that innovation is often described as heroic breakthroughs. It is all too easy and tempting for whoever makes a breakthrough to magnify its importance, forget about rivals and predecessors, and ignore successors who make the breakthrough into a practical proposition.
  • Nationalism makes the problem worse. The importing of a new idea gets confused with the inventing of a new idea.
