Innovative individual

There are many factors that are likely to inhibit the creative or innovative individual. Probably the most important of these has already been discussed elsewhere and this is the fear of failure. Failure for the individual can take many forms it can be seen as los-... 

The reality is that innovative individuals and companies have already challenged these assumptions with alternatives to conventional chemical design and application, working from the feedstock molecules up, and from the final product down to its material components. For these innovators, new scientific information, future-oriented conceptual maps, new design parameters, and the commitment to benign alternatives all combine to create breakthroughs. The opportunity offered to the chemical industry can be understood if one looks through the lens of entrepreneurship and innovation to see the possibilities for new products and markets. 

As a whole the supplement industry is comprised of a few innovative individuals and an endless number of sales people. Each of which has to be concerned with legalities and liability. A supplement has to be nearly benign in nature to avoid the usual class action law suits that have destroyed the industry and allowed common sense to be replaced by laws (and 3 letter organizations carrying guns and badges for your betterment). 

Do Innovative Individuals possess a unique quality that enables them to Innovate ... 

Conclusion Intelligence (a high degree of it) is needed to carry out innovative work in science and engineering, but it is only a necessary, but not sufficient condition. We could not distinguish the innovative from the non-innovative individuals by Intellectual prowess. 

Conclusion Innovative individuals are "normal" in those attributes usually used to define normality. The use of deviant characteristics or behaviors would not allow one to discriminate innovative from non-innovative researchers. 

Conclusion Innovative individuals are intellectually independent of their parents at early ages. This allows for individual testing of the environment. The resulting experience leads to an independence of thought. 

Conclusion Innovative individuals, when compared to productive researchers of equal technical background, are no more highly risk-taking. Given the preparation, work, intelligence and persistence of innovators, most of what may be perceived as risks by others, are fairly sure "bets" for Innovators. 

Our specific findings suggest that giving the innovative individual authority and responsibility over his own research may enhance innovation. 

Conclusion Innovative Individuals have no distinct boundaries between work and nonwork. They love research. They center their lives on the meaning of their work. 

The innovative individual is the starting point of the process of innovation. The corporate climate must be encouraging for this person to be productive. This individual must be in a state of discomfort with respect to present technology, products and ideas. 

Arthur E. Morgan, Dams and Other Disasters, 1971, pp. 91-125. Eads s experiences at the hands of the US Corps of Engineers provides a text book example of the behaviour of a technical establishment towards innovative individuals. 

It is obvious that one may ask how lead markets relate to the lead user and whether lead markets can be constituted by the presence of lead users in a counhy. Lead users have two characteristics. Lead users first perceive a need for innovative products within their own production processes, which is not idiosyncratic but foreshadows a general future need. Second, the benefit from an innovation is distributed unequally among all potential adopters and lead users have the greate st benefits from the innovation. As the users of an innovation who profit most from an adoption of the innovation, lead users have the highest incentive to adopt it ar d, if the producers have no benefit from the innovation, would innovate individually.
