  • Abstract
    What is organizational culture and how does it affect an organization´s approach to innovation? Society applies the word innovation to actions and outputs that have no resemblance to innovation; if innovation includes everything, it is nothing. The latest brilliant idea is not an innovation, it´s the seed of a possible invention; innovation is not the output of research, the output of research is invention. Innovation involves coming up with something new, something that, as yet, has not been reduced to practice, and that´s called invention. So, as noted in previous articles, Innovation Invention Commercialization or Implementation; no commercialization or implementation, no innovation.
