Innovation

创新

There are two kinds of innovation in every business: innovation in product or service; and innovation in the various skills and activities needed to supply them.

每家公司都有两种形态的创新：产品与服务的创新，以及提供产品与服务所需的各种技能和活动的创新。

Innovation may arise out of the needs of market and customer; necessity may be the mother of innovation.

创新可能源自市场与顾客的需求，需求可能是创新之母。

Or it may come out of the work on the advancement of skill and knowledge carried out in the schools and the laboratories, by researchers, writers, thinkers and practitioners.

有时候，则是学校和实验室中的研究人员、作者、思想家和实践者在技术和知识上的进步而引发了创新。

The problem in setting innovation objectives is the difficulty of measuring the relative impact and importance of various innovations.

设定创新目标的问题在于难以衡量不同创新的相关影响和重要性。
