1) The document discusses a partnership model called "Bees & Trees" that facilitates business experiments between startups ("Bees") and large traditional companies ("Trees") to co-create sustainable innovations.
2) Through facilitated meetings and innovation camps, four pilot business experiments were conducted between 2016-2017, including one between the startup ResQ Club and large food company S Group to fight food waste.
3) Lessons learned from the experiments showed potential for impact but also challenges from different priorities and timelines between large companies and startups. Facilitation was found crucial for setting targets and timelines. The document provides a manual for replicating the Bees & Trees collaboration model.

Does your company really understand what millenials, the generation born after 1984, really expects from you? Do you capture the opportunities already from providing the right products and services to this important customer group?
Key take aways:
- Current students („millenials“) already have very different requirements in regards to sustainability – They are current consumers and as well as potential employees for companies – understanding and responding to these expectations secures future competitiveness.
- The main requirement towards company sustainability efforts is to be transparent and to show integrity in all interactions.
- New research confirms that sustainability should to be delivered through the core business – but getting there can be a thorny path.

Universities are breeding grounds for innovative ideas. Companies that align with early-stage research, benefit from shared ideas and acquire a higher competitive advantage
Companies are hungry for ideas, and the actual technologies and intellectual properties to commercialize those ideas. And, companies are also hungry for talent.
The benefits for industries include access to a network of faculty, key opinion leaders, and lead scientists, and the ability to team up with other companies interested in the same research.
With the constant pressures on resources and the ever-increasing expectations of the stakeholders, facing it alone is no longer an option
No organization can be the best, the smartest, or the most cost-effective at everything
Working together to bring the right combination of skills, experience, and resources is the sure way to solve the conundrum ravaging the industries

Introduction
Innovation mainly happens with the help of technology. It is through innovation that man people comes up with new ideas and solutions to problems we face in our day to day lives. Technology is a branch of knowledge that brings about innovation due to the evolution of technology. Technology involves the methods, skills, and processes together with techniques required in production and scientific investigations. Technology is considered to be broad and fits in categories of communication and information, computer science, and computer engineering among others. The above categories are subject to improvements or disruption by humans at any time. The manipulation of technology goes through a process called innovation. Technology is applicable in many fields such as mathematics, historical knowledge, scientific engineering, transport and linguistics, business, and environmental conservation practices among others. Comment by Dr. H: This is self-referencial. It like telling technology helps technology grow Comment by Dr. H: Where did you find this definition? Comment by Dr. H: Do you mean it grows through innovations Comment by Dr. H: What do you mean by this? Comment by Dr. H: Is there engineering that is not scientific Comment by Dr. H: There is no citation support in this paragraph. Please note that unless you support with citations from peer-reviewed research journal or government sources your material is considered an opinion piece and as such it is not appropriate for research writing.This is a serious issue and you need to address it throughout as it greatly impacts your grade
Innovation involves the creation and application of new ideas, thoughts or solutions in the day-to-day problems, expectations, and needs. For the idea to qualify to be an innovation, it should satisfy a particular need and at a cost. The ideas are converted into useful products. Innovation takes place to provide more effective and efficient products, services, processes, and technologies. These are made available for sale in the markets, society, or the government. Innovations are classified into two major categories: Comment by Dr. H: Whose problems, expectations and needs? Comment by Dr. H: According to whom?
· Evolutionary innovations also called continuous evolutionary innovation which is as a result of gradual improvements in technology and,
· Revolutionary innovations also known as discontinuous innovations. There are often disruptive and new.
Innovation is crucial in any organization and it presents the need to create a department and a manager for the same. It will require a deeper understanding of the consumer needs before undertaking th.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
