Creativity is the ability to bring something new into
being, something that did not exist before.
Creativity comprises the development of entirely new
systems, the combination of already known
information as well as the transfer of known relations
to completely new situations.
A creative action has to be intentional and must have a
purpose.

thinking divided into systematic steps.

28. INNOVATION – 1
Only the economic implementation of an idea can
be called innovation. The innovation process
comprises the generation of an idea, its acceptance
(decision) and realization (implementation). Creative
thinking is required particularly during the first stage
of this process.
A new idea is not inevitably the result of creative
thinking but can be based on modification or imitation.
What is more, not every creative process is followed by
the implementation of an idea.
29. INNOVATION – 2
Innovation includes any type of change
performed on a process. At the beginning it is
irrelevant, whether this change is new per see
or if it is introduced in a particular company for
the first time. Consequently the successful
transfer of previously known solutions to new
applications has to be considered an
innovation.
