Abstract

The development of the world is an attractive process, particularly when examining humanity from the prehistory up to the present days. This development process, the ongoing innovations and developments have changed the life of humanity fundamentally. Considering this process, development economics and innovation become popular research areas of economics, management and business. In this paper, innovation was defined comprehensively and elements underlying innovation as process or socio-economic phenomenon were highlighted. Changes of the definition were analysed from the 20th century and this paper also considers what innovation is in practice nowadays, how innovation can be introduced into an organisation or how innovation can be integrated into everybody’s’ life indispensable.
