Dear all,
A simple (and probably suicidely naïve) question: what is the difference (if
there is one) between design and innovation?
I suppose I am not the first one to ask this, but I haven’t found someone
specifically addressing the question, even though there appears to be
debates on the issue…
My hypothesis (based on Lakoff and Krippendorff) is that there is a
difference in that innovation is associated with the challenge or alteration
of some peoples “prototypes” (in the Roch sense), while design may or may
not do this. That is; design is more general than innovation. (and the step
from invention to innovation would be the process of getting people to
accept that alteration.)
Or does this just prove my pan-galactic ignorance?
/Lars
