I think, for any innovation, following subjects work together:

1. Thorough knowledge on the subject.

2. Deep interest on the subject.

3. Dedication for thorough inspection, i.e, research.

4. Passion.

5. A little bit of luck.

Inquisitiveness drives innovation

Dear Prof Shibabrata

Thanks for the answer

Dear Dr. Hamza

Thanks for the answer

Dear Prof Krishnan

Thanks for the answer

I consider that the second option (passion is what stirs innovation in us) is closer to reality than the first option (people born with the ability to innovate), concerning the main question of the thread.

I strongly believe innovation is a product of hardwork, commitment, dedication and passion

A paper on this topic:

Article A GEOGRAPHICAL THEORY OF EXCEPTIONAL HUMAN PERFORMANCE: ECON...

The article suggested by Dragos Simandan is a good one.

Both can happen.

Innovation is born from the womb of the environment that motivates it mainly.

Necessity is the mother of invention

I think its passion to perform well.............passion to do work in a unique manner.....................passion to improve........................passion to create something really useful,that results in innovation.It needs a lot of hard work,a lot of sincere efforts,and a bit of LUCK also to be successful in creating something innovative.

It seems to me that the passion for innovation has two components:

• One is the genetic predisposition to develop creativity and aptitude to learn the theoretical and practical aspects of technology
• The other is the one acquired in the social and educational context in which he lives and is formed, in which two levels are identified.

Passion and curiosity stir innovation.

If Bill Gates was born in Eritrea, Ethiopia or Bangladesh, would he have created Mocrosoft?

• Some people born with this condition, another people learn about his life experiences, and stir both knowledges, Like examples . Bill Gates, Linus Torvalds, Steve Jobs, why not Henry Ford, Benjamin Franklin, Mrie Curie, Mary Key, an other people. Some times when we have needs and do not can supply the necesary to cover this needs, here come the inovation, the cretivity. The human people are amazing, but needs discover this condition in her self .

I think its both. Passion alone might not be enough to endanger creativity. One should have the inborn traits of being innovative and creative. I know some people who are very creative and innovative but are not passionate about following with their talents.

Conditions in which we live and learn: birth or passion reflect the same thing. Is passion by birth or by learning?

Innovation can be taught. Outcome Driven Innovation, for example, is a structured method of innovating to delight customers. I highly recommend that method for determining how to decide on the features that go into a new product.

Do not confuse innovation with entrepreneurship. They are two different things. Entrepreneurs typically have a different psychological profile from non-entrepreneurs. They are more likely to take risks. The skills to be successful as a entrepreneur can be taught, as in just about any MBA program, but the willingness to take the risk cannot be taught.

I'm not a big fan of theories that postulate ideas that people are born with any specific qualities. So, I will suggest that innovation is an outcome of acceptance of a problem and the creativity behind a subject's drive to solve these problems that results in something novel.

Innovation is about creativity, it is primarily determined by your ecosystem, the environment, the background of the practitioner, expertise, propensity to take risks and ability to think out of the box - not to mention, tolerance for failure.

I have a paper that looks into this process:

Dubey, Santosh J., The Entrepreneurship-Driven Innovation Growth Framework for Innovation-Intensive Outcomes, a Qualitative Definition (December 22, 2011). Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=1975636 or http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1975636

Hope this helps,

Many thanks to you respected RG Scholars

I am grateful!

In my view, strong felt need leads to innovation.

People with strong passion in a particular area contribute to innovation.

A very strong desire also leads to innovation.

It is in our nature, in every generation of human beings there are people that cannot keep things as they are. They think different. They are a minority but enough to change everybody's life with their ideas. Think about the wheel, fire, clothing, cars, computers. It is not that we need to be innovative, it is the way that some people are.

The issue is very important in making us reflect on issues such as education and human training in general. I see that there may be greater facilities for some people to exercise this or that activity, from the practice of sports to others such as entrepreneurship. In any case, the role of effort and learning are essential, both for those who have the greatest facilities and for the others.
