Innovation is the way in which an idea changes from its current
form to a more advanced status while adding up its value. Any
innovation must have economic value and addresses specific
desires of man. Innovation is not accidental but the intended
application of the idea to come you with something better than
what is available. Change can lead to better service delivery or
better good produced (Peter, 2002).
Importance of innovation
Innovation is significant in our day to day activities. Some of
the significance of change Help problem-solving. Human life is
full of problems that he always desire to be solved, but without
innovation, it would be hectic to answer them, for example,
today due to the invention of mobile phone the problem of
communication regardless of the distance is solved
· Responding to customers' needs. The desire to have better
things have led to more innovation to meet the demands of the
customer at the right time. For example today a phone does
more work than just communication which was its first intention

3. Globalization. The pressure has always been to create a world
of oneness this can only be done through the innovations.
People want to know what is happening on the other side of the
planet and this possible because of novelty. One can traverse
the whole universe within a short period courtesy of the
ongoing innovation (Peter, 2002).
Competitive advantage is the ability to do something better than
your competitors. Innovation matters as it is the driving force
that makes life better, without innovation life can be very
hectic. The innovation has relieved man from some of the hard
tasked he used to do
There are four essential elements of innovation (Peter, 2002).
1-Collaboration.
For any success to realize people must join hand towards a
specific idea. There are different people with different views
when they come together a product of their minds is excellent.
Collaboration is a heavy tasked and individuals must swallow
their pride and work together. The competition among people
sometimes makes it hard for people to agree to work together.
Therefore, there must be a unifying figure for a successful
project (Gary, 2015).
2-Ideation
Collaboration is one thing and having an idea is another thing
before people come together there must be an idea or an agenda
to be deliberated upon. It can be an idea which exists and needs
to be made better or an entirely new idea. The ideas that
different people have must be fused so that it stands as one
before being developed. A car was a combined idea from
various people that came up to produce the broad idea into one
(Gary, 2015).
3-Implementation

4. Ideas left wild can never bring any change, so it is the ideas put
together that makes it a substance of honor. What causes that
difference is putting the plans to use and evaluate what comes
out of it. One the ideas are implemented it will be easy to
identify its strengths, and weaknesses then work on it to
develop an improved service of good to help the man as it is the
main reason for all the researchers and innovations (McCann,
2012). 4-Value creation
Innovation must add value to the existing system to merit being
called change. The idea to be developed and implemented must
be one that moves further from where the current situation is to
be helpful to man. In the companies, they come up with new
brands that are different from the products they already have.
For example, in the mobile sector, the development to touch
phone was an idea which came to replace the phones with the
buttons. A plan will only be admitted to the market if it comes
with additional quality.
There are several types of innovation, and we shall highlight
four of those who are Breakthrough, disruptive, basic research
and sustaining change (McCann, 2012). Challenges in
innovation
Some challenges face innovation in the world today. One of
such problems in the inadequacy of resources to finance the
innovative idea. Most of that whop have ideas sometimes are
forced to abandon their ideas at the early stage. The
organizations are not willing to stretch their finances to fund a
plan but prefer an already developed idea. For the firms that
have embraced innovation, it is always a challenge because it
affects the morale of some workers since the work that they
were doing has now been taken over by technology. Another
problem is the cost o introducing innovations as some workers

5. will oppose it and make it thus a loss to the organization.
Innovation is also finding challenge in those who believe in the
old method and fear trying the new ways to do things. Once one
is over dependent on an idea, it becomes a challenge to change
the person (McCann, 2012).
The firms that are left out and prefer to go the old style are not
favored either since it eliminates them out of the competition.
Innovation brings easy to work, and it lowers the workforce. A
firm with old methods will spend more on labor than a firm with
the current ideas. The work output is high for the company with
the advanced technology, with high production the result is top,
and so is the profits. Failure to embrace technology is like
knocking a firm out of the industry. Quick response in times of
emergency and this saves both lives and property, and it is only
for the firms that are technologically advanced (Randall, 2005).
There are five stages or process that an innovation undergoes to
become a noble project
Mobilization and generation of idea
An idea can emanate from scratch or the existing ones that only
need to be made better. After the agreement on the concept then
it now time to collect the relevant information on how the ideas
can be made real rather than the vague details lying in mind. At
this stage, different people come with a suggestion which is
recorded then scrutiny is done on the viability of the proposals.
The recommendations are streamlined until only the essentials
are left on record (Randall, 2005). Table 1Screening and
advocacy
The gathered ideas are now evaluated to find out which one
comes up with the best solution to the problem at stake or the
one with the most benefits. The designs are now fine-tuned into
one so that the area of focus is reduced and perfection
increases. All the proponents of the different ideas are given an
opportunity to highlight more on their ideas then the team
comes up with one unified idea and approach (Randall,

6. 2005). Table 2Experimenting stage
The developed idea is put to trial to see its effectiveness and to
gauge its strength and weaknesses. This is where an idea can be
tested to find out if it meets the threshold of innovation. It can
go on for an extended period as adjustments are also made to
improve its quality. During innovative stage ideas are gathered
in the field on areas to grow and how the customer would want
it (Alex k, & Holger, 2017). Table 3Marketing or
commercializing
An idea ones developed the aim is to release it to the market to
attain the purpose for which it was made. The market might
have a similar product or service, so it takes the initiative of the
developers to reach the markets and explain why theirs is the
best alternative. The customers are now persuaded to embrace
the new idea. The price must also be pocket-friendly compared
to the existing prices in the market (Alex k, & Holger, 2017).
Table 4Implementation and diffusion
This is the inclusion of the new idea in into the organizational
system. This can be done by taking to the members of the
organization on the new system and how it shall work. This
includes the effect on the workforce and the remedies of its
inclusion. If this is done, the worker will adjust fast to on
corporate the new idea into their system (Alex k, & Holger,
2017). Table 5Culture
Each organization has its own culture of operation. Some firm a
new idea is discussed by the workers who are directly affected
by the new system. In such structure, new plans are easy to
implement without failure because all feel they are part and
parcel of the project. In other firms of up-down approach, ideas
are brought with directives of implementation regardless of its
effect on the company or employee. Such firms are prone to
failure in their new ideas (Marc, Nathaniel & Erik, 2005).

7. New ideas and innovation is the way to go in a continuously
changing world. One can open up to the new ideas by reading
the benefits that have been brought by modernization. All ideas
are implementable so long as consultation is done (Marc,
Nathaniel & Erik, 2005).

The Vietnam War
The United States joined in the Vietnam War as a way of
combating the spread of Communism. The Vietnam War began
in 1959 after North Vietnam launched guerilla warfare against
South Vietnam. The north wanted to unite Vietnam under a
communist rule. However, the south was against this move since
it had embraced a democratic and capitalist government. Prior
to the Vietnam War, the United States had assisted France to
help it keep North and South Vietnam which were its colonies.
However, France gave up after a period of struggle and opted
out of the war in 1954. North Vietnam was more powerful than
South Vietnam and it was bound to win the Vietnam War.
Victory for North Vietnam meant spread of communism and the
United States was against this. Therefore, the U.S decided to
intervene and help South Vietnam against her rival. Initially,
the United States assisted by offering military training and
guidance from American generals. However, after an American
warship was attacked by North Vietnam, the United States sent
more troops to Vietnam. It was also involved in active war
against North Vietnam. The United States participation in
Vietnam War persisted from 1964 to 1965. This war had adverse
effects on American Soldiers and the U.S as a country. Many
soldiers got injured and lost their lives. The financial burden of

9. sustaining the American soldiers in Vietnam was also straining
the U.S. There was an outcry from Americans who felt that
United States participation in Vietnam was not justified. These
reasons lead to the withdrawal of American troops from
Vietnam.
Some critics felt that the participation of United States in
Vietnam War was wrong because it was harmful for both the
United States and Vietnam. George Skakel gave a narration of
the torture and suffering that the American soldiers were
subjected to in Vietnam. They saw the bodies of their close
friends and they were forced to execute orders that were
morally wrong. Some of these orders included torturing and
killing civilians. Eventually, they ended up suffering from post-
traumatic stress disorders. Additionally, John Kerry argued that
the United States did not have genuine reasons to participate in
the Vietnam War. He says that the U.S kept fighting the war due
to pride even after losing. This stubbornness lead to the loss of
many soldiers and placed a huge burden on the American
people. Furthermore, the soldiers harmed innocent civilians
instead of saving them. Most Vietnamese viewed the American
soldiers as enemies who were destroying their country. They did
not even understand the significance of communism or
capitalism which were the main concepts behind the war. The
American participation in Vietnam War could not therefore be
justified as a way of helping the Vietnamese. It was a show of
pride which was portrayed by American leaders who did want to
be seen as weak because they had lost a battle. This was done at
the expense of American soldiers who were losing their lives
and acquiring fatal injuries. These claims are also echoed by
Martin Luther King. He criticizes the brutal force that American
soldiers were using to harm defenseless civilians in Vietnam. In
addition, there were many American soldiers who lost their
lives in Vietnam for a course that did not yield worthwhile
outcome. The war was also putting financial strain on
Americans.
