This pattern offers hard proof that we have
entered a new era.
The “Industrial Age” has given way to
the “Information Age”.
The “Information Age” has enabled the
“Knowledge Age”.

What is
Creativity,
Invention
and Innovation ?
Tech. & Innovation For Competitiveness2nd Egy Science Festival By: Motaz Al-Agamawi
25. Definition of Creativity
25
Creativity
Is the ability to bring something new
Creativity is the ability not the activity of
bringing something new.
Tech. & Innovation For Competitiveness2nd Egy Science Festival By: Motaz Al-Agamawi
27. Definition of Invention
27
Invention
Is a unique or novel device, method,
composition, process or discovery.
It may also be an improvement upon, or
alternate means, of achieving an existing
desired result or function.
Invention is the activity of bringing
something new.
Tech. & Innovation For Competitiveness2nd Egy Science Festival By: Motaz Al-Agamawi
29. Definition of Innovation
29
Innovation
Is the process of doing new things.
The process of introducing the
creative idea or invention to the
market.

31. The Distinction between Creativity,
31
Invention and Innovation
If creativity is the seed that inspires entrepreneurship,
innovation is the process of entrepreneurship.
Drucker “Innovation… is the means by which the
entrepreneur either creates new wealth-producing
resources or endows existing resources with
enhanced potential for creating wealth”
It is important to recognize that innovation implies
actions, not just conceiving new ideas. When people
have passed through the illumination and verification stage
of creativity, they may have become inventors, but they are

34. Technology and Creativity
34
Technology is an Expression of human Creativity.
Managing Technology involves continuous effort in creating
Technology, developing novel products and services, and
successfully marketing them.
It also requires an investment in Research and Development-
R&D.
R&D is a costly endeavor. It is a risky investment and therefore
needs to be well managed.
It is an investment in the future that can not be neglected, nor
can its value be underestimated.
Technology creation and exploitation require a chain of events,
starting with inventions and end at the market place.

41. Creativity and Innovation
41
Innovation is associated with the creation of value or the satisfaction
of a customer need.
Creativity is the engine of innovation.
The essence of creativity is combining two or more ideas to arrive at
an entirely new one.
For Example, Henry Ford assembly line was based on combining the
production of standardized parts, as a concept that had been introduced a
century earlier, with the idea of bringing the parts to the worker rather than
moving the worker to the parts.

A number of industrial studies reveal that for a technology innovation to succeed,
there are three important people involved and seven important conditions to
satisfy.
The combination of these people and conditions satisfies the need for creativity and
implementation.
Tech. & Innovation For Competitiveness2nd Egy Science Festival By: Motaz Al-Agamawi
43. Seven Conditions Required for Success
43
in Technological Innovation
An outstanding person in an executive leadership position to support strategic
decision that encourage creativity and innovation development.
An operational leader to carry out the essential tasks of converting knowledge
into a commercial application.
A clear need for the application by sufficient potential consumers to warrant
the commitment of resources to innovation.
The realization of the product, process, or service as a useful innovation
providing value to society.
Good cooperation among the crucial players and among diversified functions in
an organization, all of whom, together, must bring the idea to fruition.
Availability of resources and the supporting technology to succeed in the
endeavor.
Cooperation and support from external source who can influence the success
of an innovation, including government agencies, investors, supplier, and creditors.

In each instant of innovation, there has been an
entrepreneurial champion who persisted in developing a
creative idea into marketable application.
In each instance, the entrepreneur has been able to
recognize change and envision the opportunity.
