Opportunities to innovate: the seven sources

Abstract

Discusses the seven basic sources of opportunities to innovate — only one of which is with regard to inventing something new — as discussed in Peter Drucker's ‘Innovation and Entrepreneurship’ (1994). Lists the seven sources as: the unexpected; incongruities; process need; industry and market structure — all the above symptoms; demographics, changes in perception; and new knowledge — all external. Discusses these in full and leads to certain assumptions and conclusions.
