Innovation

'An idea, product, process or service that adds value, is useful or transforms current practice in the context to which it is applied. ‘First generation innovators’ are those who do or create something new or different. ‘Second-generation innovators’ are those who take an innovation from one context and replicate, adapt or transform it for use within a new context.' (Southwell et al., 2005, p. 2).
