At best an innovation<\/a> system doesn’t just emerge but is rather purposefully designed to enable ideas to process through the innovation pipeline in a steady and frictionless way, with the goal of reaching implementation or market commercialization. The innovation system therefore defines and supports different innovation pathways through an organization: ‘incremental improvement’ (CIP), ‘reshaping the core’ (Transformation<\/a> A), and ‘creating the new’ (Transformation B). It organizes and supports the dual nature of the firm. Lean innovation<\/a> systems, in particular, are set up in ways that encourage experimentation and hypothesis-driven project work. As such they reduce waste, e.g. ‘zombie projects’ or ‘political innovation<\/a>’. At industry conferences or in blogs you might also hear or read about the term ‘innovation ecosystem<\/a>’, which is being used synonymously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In politics, the term tends to be used in line with Friedrich List’s and Bengt-Åke Lundvall’s notion of innovations systems in society (on regional, sectoral, or national levels). Here it denotes the flow of technology and information among people, enterprises, and institutions of a nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
