The chain-linked model or Kline model of innovation was introduced by mechanical engineer Stephen J. Kline in 1985, [1] and further described by Kline and economist Nathan Rosenberg in 1986. [2] The chain-linked model is an attempt to describe complexities in the innovation process. The model is regarded as Kline's most significant contribution ...
Pace of innovation is the speed at which technological innovation or advancement is occurring, with the most apparent instances being too slow or too rapid. Both these rates of innovation are extreme and therefore have effects on the people that get to use this technology.
An early model included only three phases of innovation. According to Utterback (1971), these phases were: 1) idea generation, 2) problem solving, and 3) implementation. [44] By the time one completed phase 2, one had an invention, but until one got it to the point of having an economic impact, one did not have an innovation.
Original model of three phases of the process of technological change: Invention is followed by Innovation, which is followed by Diffusion. The Linear Model of Innovation was an early model designed to understand the relationship of science and technology that begins with basic research that flows into applied research, development and diffusion [1]
The boat gradually swung clear and was dislodged after much manual exertion. [2] This event, along with the Offutt's boat/milldam incident, prompted Lincoln to start thinking about how to lift vessels over river obstructions and shoals. [4] [5] He eventually came up with an invention to achieve this, which involved flotation bladders. [6]
Systematic inventive thinking (SIT) is a thinking method developed in Israel in the mid-1990s.Derived from Genrich Altshuller's TRIZ engineering discipline, SIT is a practical approach to creativity, innovation and problem solving, which has become a well known methodology for innovation.
Wheel of Fortune‘s Teachers’ Week has turned into an unexpected English lesson. During the game show’s annual celebration of educators, several eagle-eyed viewers (as first noted by TV ...
Induced innovation is a microeconomic hypothesis first proposed in 1932 by John Hicks in his work The Theory of Wages.He proposed that "a change in the relative prices of the factors of production is itself a spur to invention, and to invention of a particular kind—directed to economizing the use of a factor which has become relatively expensive."
