Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
like most business concepts, innovation, design and creativity have separate meanings and separate functions in the business world. Lets first examine the straight definitions of these three concepts. Websters Dictionary
defines creativity as "the ability or power to create, to bring into existence, to invest with a new form, to product through imaginative skill, to make or bring into existence
something new" (Wilson, 2005). In other words, the idea of creativity is to bring something into existence, to start from scratch, to make something from nothing. Innovation, however, is something
a little different, as its defined as the act of introducing something new, or something newly introduced (Free Dictionary, 2008). Other definitions point to the idea that innovation can be
considered a new device, process or product that comes out of study and experimentation (Free Dictionary, 2008). Now we come to design and its five definitions (three of which
are nouns). If were using this as a verb, design involves fashioning, executing or constructing - according to plan (Merriam-Webster, 2008). It also means "to have a purpose," as in
"grand design" (Merriam-Webster, 2008). Comparing these three words, there are similarities - creativity, innovation and design involve determining something new, something as yet untried. But the difference lies in how
the new things come into being. Creativity is the art of creating something out of nothing. Or something out of seemingly unrelated items. Someone writing a novel, for example,
is engaging in the creative process - the writer is putting together a book from imagination (and a little research). He or she might be building on something from before,
but it almost seems as though that novel might be coming out of thin air. In a business sense, there really is no such thing as a truly creative idea.
