Defi ning innovation remains problematic as it is associated with such notions as creativity or change. Some economists link innovation with any change, though a majority of analysts and practitioners look for innovation which signifi cantly and substantially aff ects their activities, for inventions, and the like. Th ey tend to dismiss innovations that arise by accident. Fundamental reasons for an enterprise to implement innovation include the desire to improve profi ts (80%) and business development (68.3%) while operating in a sector which, according to respondents, does not need innovation is the main reason for not introducing innovation (41% of all those examined).(original abstract)
