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.

This is accomplished through more-effective products, processes, services, technologies, or business models that are readily 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.

It is related to, but not the same as, invention.

Innovation is often manifested via the engineering process.

The opposite of innovation is exnovation.

Technology ("science of craft", from Greek, techne, "art, skill, cunning of hand"; and) is the collection of techniques, skills, s and processes used in the production of goods or services or in the accomplishment of objectives, such as scientific investigation.

In social science and politics, power is the ability to influence or outright control the behavior of people.

The term "authority" is often used for power perceived as legitimate by the social structure.

Power can be seen as evil or unjust, but the exercise of power is accepted as to humans as social beings.

In business, power is often expressed as being "upward" or "downward".

With downward power, a company's superior influences subordinates.

When a company exerts upward power, it is the subordinates who influence the decisions of their leader or leaders.
