An organization or organisation is an entity comprising multiple people, such as an institution or an association, that has a collective goal and is linked to an external environment.

It is often a house, apartment, or other building, or alternatively a mobile home, houseboat, yurt or any other portable shelter.

Innovation can be defined simply as a "new idea, device or method".

However, innovation is often also viewed as the application of better solutions that meet new requirements, unarticulated needs, or existing market needs.

Such innovation takes place through the provision of more-effective products, processes, services, technologies, or business models that are made available to markets, governments and society.

The term "innovation" can be defined as something original and more effective and, as a consequence, new, that "breaks into" the market or society.

Innovation is related to, but not the same as, invention, as innovation is more apt to involve the practical implementation of an invention (i.e. new/improved ability) to make a meaningful impact in the market or society, and not all innovations require an invention.

Innovation often manifests itself via the engineering process, when the problem being solved is of a technical or scientific nature.

The opposite of innovation is exnovation.

A partnership is an arrangement where parties, known as partners, agree to cooperate to advance their mutual interests.

The partners in a partnership may be individuals, businesses, interest-based organizations, schools, governments or combinations.

Organizations may partner to increase the likelihood of each achieving their mission and to amplify their reach.

A partnership may result in issuing and holding equity or may be only governed by a contract.
