Novelty, Creativity, Innovation and Invention

"The best way to predict your future is to create it..!"
-By Abraham Lincoln-

The creative person is one who generates new ideas while the creative process is how these new ideas, solutions, and inventions are produced. It is said that, we are all naturally creative.

AMBIGUITY OF CREATIVITY

-Being creative is seeing the same thing as everybody else but thinking of something different.


-Finding the meaning or precise definition of creativity to some is an impossible task as to them creativity does not have one definite meaning or definition.

-Creativity is the process of generating something new that has value. There are many new ideas and concepts, but some may not have value and hence may not be considered creative. A creation is something original that has value.

-Creativity appears to be utilized in varying degrees by different people with different culture and different background.

-Creativity involves the translation of our unique gifts, talents and vision into an external reality that is new and useful.

-Thinking is a specific skill, which can be learned and this goes far beyond traditional analysis and judgment of creativity.

Defining novelty

-Novelty is the quality of being new. Although it may be said to have an objective dimension (e.g. a new style of art coming into being, such as abstract art or impressionism) it essentially exists in the subjective perceptions of individuals.

Subjective and Objective novelty

-Subjective novelty is the apperception of something as being new by an individual person or a group of persons.


-Objective novelty is something that is new for all humanity in its development through ages. It is unlikely, however, that even the most knowing and knowledgeable person boldly say that he knows everything that was before and take liberty to judge things from this standpoint.

Originality is not a decisive feature of creative work and Novelty in
creativity is always based on what has been created before.

Creativity
-the generation of new ideas or a new way of doing things.

Defining Innovation

-Innovation is the process of making improvements by introducing
something new, the realization of a creative idea in a social context.

-Innovation is a process by which an idea or invention is translated
into a good or service for which people will pay.


-To be called an innovation, an idea must be replicable at an
economical cost and must satisfy a specific need.

-Innovation is synonymous with risk-taking and firms which introduce revolutionary products or technologies take on the greatest risk because they have to create new markets.

Inventors
those who take existing knowledge and create new ideas.

*There are four types of creativity:-
-Aesthetic Organizers.
-Boundary Pushers — those who take an existing idea and push it a little further.
-Inventors — those who take existing knowledge and create new ideas — the Edisons of this world.
-The rarest group: Boundary Breakers — the Leonardos and the Copernicuses.
