Hypothesis (14) Comprehensive sustainability innovations can be missed by continuous improvement in too small stages, e.g. the substantial reduction of both resource consumption and also toxic risks. 

In Part IV, we turn to the issue of patents and pharmaceuticals. Adam Mannan and Alan Story argue that drug access could be improved if product patents were abolished. They argue that even if a process patent is present, competitors can find alternative processes or uses for the chemical compound and create price competition. To further support their argument, the authors explain how the patent system was created not because it had to create conditions for sustainable innovation, but for market protection. They note that, until recently, few countries even recognized pharmaceutical product patents and some countries, such as India, were able to develop a thriving industry as a result of the absence of product patents.

In his Race for Space speech in 1962, President John F. Kennedy famously condensed 50,000 years of recorded human history into a time span of half a century. If we apply the same approach to the history of wine, we encounter an outstanding record of research, development and sustained innovation (Figure 9.1). Breathtaking in speed, it is a story of resilience, persistence and the unwavering pursuit of opportunity. 

Malaysia there is a process of implementing outcome-based education at all levels in the educational system to emphasize the development of competences (Borhan et al. 2012). This is fully in line with what is happening in the rest of the world (e.g. South America) where there also is a growing awareness of the need to educate new types of engineers and academics who are able to participate in global, collaborative and sustainable innovation processes.

Sustainable innovation is a process where sustainability considerations (environmental, social, financial) are integrated into company systems from idea generation through to research and development (R D) and commercialisation. This applies to products, services and technologies, as well as new business and organisational models. (Charter and Clark, 2007)...
