Yes, I am a sports freak, but Icannot emphasize enough how much economic power underlies the Sports endeavors. As the FIFA World Cup draws near, big name brands are deep into the scramble for the Soccer/Football stars and the countries that feature them. This article, like others with similar content could not escape my eyes and business imagination!!!

Innovation or Invention, or both?

I have thinking about this a lot recently. In a world full of “experts” and entrepreneurs, something more than improvement of an idea or product will go a long way to preserve the legacy of an individual’s creativity and the socio-economic benefits thereof.

Innovation v Invention PICInnovation, at least from this powerful article http://www.pbs.org/idealab/2012/03/the-difference-between-invention-and-innovation086/ I came across on PBS.org , is not irrelevant to the development of ideas and products and the writer in this article articulates that so well.

However, for those who look to not only sustain themselves via their creative work so that it should outlive them, invention is the prize to vie. Having both is even better.

Just a thought… Have a great and productive day!
