Organizational Communication: Innovation and Change (Instructor Guide) |
1.00 |
Innovation is a new idea or process that can change the way organizations operate or think. For an idea or process to be considered an innovation, the majority of people who hear about it must consider it new. Implementation of an idea is not necessary for it to be considered an innovation.
