There is no doubt that innovations were, are, and will be extremely important for the individual and society.

   Various definitions, models, and theories of creativity and innovation include the ‘generation of new ideas’ as one of their components.

Innovation is the generation, acceptance, and implementation of new ideas, processes, products, or services.

 The word “innovation” comes from the verb “to innovate” which means to “introduce something new” or to introduce “a new idea, method, or device”.

The introduction of this novelty goes through various different processes according to its domain. In the economy, this is the introduction within the process of production or sale of a new product, equipment or process, which presupposes a phenomenon of integration of the novelty into the existing process. In sociology, innovation is defined as a process of influence that leads to a social change and whose effect is the rejection of the existing social norms and the adoption of new ones.

  Scholars and scientist have their own definition of innovations:

  Peter F.Drucker: innovation is the specific tool of entrepreneurs, the means by which they exploit change as an opportunity for a different business or a different service. It is capable of being presented as a discipline, capable of being learned, capable of being practiced.

  A convenient definition of innovation from an organizational perspective is given by Luecke and Katz (2003), who wrote:

"Innovation is generally understood as the successful introduction of a new thing or method. Innovation is the embodiment, combination, or synthesis of knowledge in original, relevant, valued new products, processes, or services. "

  According to Regis Cabral (1998, 2003):

"Innovation is a new element introduced in the network which changes, even if momentarily, the costs of transactions between at least two actors, elements or nodes, in the network".
