Epilogue

Abstract

We think that problems 2 – 5 can be explained by realizing that current innovation models fail to bring in the business context of innovation in an explicit manner (see Figs. 2.11 and 2.2). Innovation should lead to new business and, therefore, innovation models should be an integral part of some business development framework. Stand-alone innovation models are not very useful in the practice of business.
