Justify your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes I agree

Explanation:

I do agree with the early characterization of innovation for the following reasons. They are :

-- The meaning of innovation means that its a new idea, a new method or a new product. It deals with the newness of any thing. Now for the characterization of innovation by Schumpeter, it suggests that it deals with the newness of any item or market or any product. Some of the people may argue that a market place is  not a new concept, it existed from before and the marketers do identify the market. So it is a innovation and not a discovery.

Thus innovations is also about identification and exploring the unexplored areas.Innovation is a vast word and have a vague meaning. Schumpeter characterized suggests that innovation covers a wide area.
