4 types of Innovation
Over the last week I’ve been reading ”Innovation in the Making” by Lotte Darsoe.
A month ago I in fact had the possibility discussing the flux between design and innovation and she pointed me at the time to her own book.
She differs between 4 types of innovation:
- Incremental – innovations are improvements of processes, products and methods, often found by technicians or employees during their daily work.
- Radical – novel, surprising and different approach or composition.
- Social – spring from social needs, rather than from technology, and are related to new ways of interaction
- Quantum – refers to the emergence of qualitatively new system states brought by small incremental changes.
The last one I use to explain with the phrase – Micro-processes which causes Macro-consequenses.
Is the above types of innovation the only ones? Is there other explanations to those mentioned?
