Assignment Papers-Analyze the relationship between global innovation and entrepreneurship within organizations

There are many viewpoints concerning innovation and many concepts of what innovation involves. These viewpoints and concepts vary by industry. In the Dictionary of Management, Nandhakumar (2010) defined innovation as “the development of new products or new ways of selling” (p. 203). Consider the following scenarios to gain an understanding of only a few simple forms of innovation:

A technology company creates a virtual reality television, allowing people to interact with their favorite characters and programs in their living rooms and revolutionizing home entertainment.

The manager of a small restaurant develops a process that enables him to deliver hot food to busy lunchtime crowds in half the usual time, resulting in higher customer satisfaction and higher profits.

Both of these scenarios depict different forms of innovation. The pressure to innovate can affect nearly every aspect of business, and the decision of whether and how to innovate generates multifaceted debates.
