Background
Innovation in all its forms, encompassing the introduction of a new process, product, service or system to an organisation or into a company, is considered to be the key to long-term economic growth and improved quality of life. At firm level, innovation is generally essential to competitiveness and sustainability. Companies that fail to innovate risk losing market share and disappearing within a short period.
The process of innovation is supported by the transfer or development of knowledge, particularly knowledge relating to the selection and application of technology. The twin activities of innovation and technology management are therefore essential to ensure optimal absorption and utilisation of new knowledge, leading to the development of new products, processes, and services.
