Back in my days at Ahmadu Bello University,
Zaria, I came across two books that really gave me insights on the difference
between Invention and Innovation and how they relate to entrepreneurship. The
one, titled Innovation, by William Kingston, made a categorization of
different creative types that drives society, and the other titled The Challenge of
Innovation, by John Adair, tells of how ideas are converted into products and
into profit through the combined efforts of certain characters. These books, in
my opinion, are good reads and I strongly recommend them for anybody interested
in knowing the nitty-gritty of Innovation.
