The Relationship Between Creativity and Innovation
In business and the media, the words creativity and innovation are used almost interchangeably. Some people believe you have to be creative in order to create innovative things. Others would say, without innovative thinking there is no creativity. Both points of view are perfectly logical, but neither explains the relationship (or interrelationship) between the concepts we call creativity and innovation.... (posted by M. Rigie and K.

The Innovation Imperative: Why Companies Must Innovate or Perish
Some time ago, Steve Jobs was quoted as saying, "Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower;" and that statement has never been more meaningful than it is today.
