One of the most cited articles in the search for a definition of [[innovation]] is "Towards a Multidisciplinary Definition of Innovation" (Baragheh et al. 2009). The authors extracted 60 definitions of innovation from the literature and summarized them into one: "Innovation is the multi-stage process whereby organizations transform ideas into new/improved products, services or processes, in order to advance, compete and differentiate themselves successfully in their marketplace." This definition highlights two important aspects. First is knowledge, which is the foundation of the transformation process, and second is the business model, which is directly linked to the success of the innovation process. A useful way to differentiate between research and innovation is that research consumes money to generate knowledge, whereas innovation uses knowledge to generate money. This perspective emphasizes the cyclical relationship between the two, where research fuels innovation and successful innovation can, in turn, fund further research. However, it's important to note that this is a simplified view, as both research and innovation can involve complex interactions and dependencies beyond just financial and knowledge exchanges.
