3, Discuss about the relationship between innovation and communication?
Communication and innovation are closely linked. If a person makes an invention, he or she
needs communication to promote that use to the community. Without Communication, he could
not invent, develop, or use his creativity. Although his work is very important. So
Communication and innovation have a unique connection.

essence, the word has retained its meaning up until today. Innovation means to improve or
to replace something, for example, a process, a product, or a service. In the context of
companies, however, the term needs a definition. In the complex context of business, a
definition is needed[8]
 innovation is the means used by companies to adapt, differentiate and survive, especially in
environments and turbulent times like the present
 A new idea, method or device”
 “A Change that creates a new dimension of performance”
 “Creativity with a job to do”
 “Creating value by implementing new ideas”
 “Anything that provides a new perceived benefit to a customer or employee”
 Innovation is the creation of new: products, techniques, processes and services by
generating and implementing new ideas to make them useful. (Damanpour, 1991; Van den
Ven, 1986)[9]
