Innovation can arise from individuals, universities, government labs, non-profits, or private organizations. However, the most powerful source of innovation comes from the linkages and networks between these different sources as they leverage each other's knowledge and resources. An innovation may emerge from one source or from the collaboration between multiple sources that compose an interconnected system of innovation.

2. Sources of innovation
Innovation The practical Implementation
of an idea into a new device or process.
Innovation can arise from many different
sources. It can originate with individuals, as in the
familiar image of the lone inventor or users who
design solutions for their own needs. Innovation
can also come from the research efforts of
universities, government laboratories and
incubators, or private nonprofit organizations.

3. Sources of innovation
An even more important source of innovation,
however, does not arise from any one of these sources,
but rather the linkages between them. Networks of
innovators that leverage knowledge and other
resources from multiple sources are one of the most
powerful agents of technological advance. We can thus
think of sources of innovation as composing a complex
system wherein any particular innovation may emerge
primarily from one or more components of the system
or the linkages between them

• Individual Creativity An individual’s creative
ability is a function of his or her intellectual abilities,
knowledge style of thinking, personality, motivation,
and environment.
• Organizational Creativity The creativity of the
organization is a function of creativity of the
individuals within the organization and a variety of
social processes and contextual factors that shape
the way those individuals interact and behave.

6. TRANSLATING CREATIVITY INTO
INNOVATION
Innovation is more than the generation of
creative ideas; it is the implementation of those
ideas into some new device or process. Innovation
requires combining a creative idea with resources
and expertise that make it possible to embody the
creative idea in a useful form

7. INNOVATION IN COLLABORATIVE
NETWORKSAs the previous sections indicate, there is a
growing recognition of the importance of collaborative
research and development networks for successful
innovation.40 Such collaborations include (but are not
limited to) joint ventures, licensing and second
sourcing agreements, research associations,
government-sponsored joint research programs, value-
added networks for technical and scientific
interchange, and informal networks.

NETWORKS• Technology Clusters
technology clusters Regional clusters of
firms that have a connection to a common
technology, and may engage in buyer, supplier, and
complementor relationships, as well as research
collaboration.

NETWORKS• Technological Spillovers
Technological spillovers A positive
externality from R&D resulting from the spread of
knowledge across organizational or regional
boundaries.
