Multiple sources -depending on industry (each works very differently) and R&D base.  Begin with the public literature (Harvard Business Review) and professional societies (Technology Transfer Society).

Dear Colleague,

Innovation is widely recognized as essential condition for business success ensuring growth, sustainability and competitiveness. Innovation is a very broad concept and involves many different stakeholders varying from governments and scientists to business executives, marketing specialists and consumers. The diversity of the involved parties leads to different perspectives to innovation, thus resulting in different understanding of the concept. From the very general point of view innovation can be understood as a process from idea generation to commercialization – bringing the idea or invention to the market as a new product, process or service through the phases of idea generation, research and devel- opment, product development, marketing and selling a new product or service. The idea becomes an invention, when it is converted into a tangible new artifact. The inventions are necessary seed for innovations, but the inventions do not inevitably lead to the innovation. Innovation is mostly regarded as the commercial and practical application of ideas or inventions. Innovations are classified by the type, the degree of novelty and the nature. Four types of innovation are distinguished: product or service innovations, process innovations, marketing innovations and organizational innovations together with three degrees of novelty: new to the firm, new to the market and new to the world . There is also three types of innovation nature defined: incremental, radical, disruptive. Types of innovation, degree of novelty and innovation nature define the three dimensions of innovation space.
