What is technology?
• Technology is knowledge applied to the production of goods or services.
• Different forms:
- physical machinery
-production processes
-software
-tacit knowledge

What is innovation?
• Broad definition: The introduction of new or improved products, or of new or improved processes and organizational methods in the design, production and distribution of goods and services.
• Invention: A new, useful process, machine, improvement, etc., that did not exist previously and that is recognized as the product of some unique intuition or genius.

Types of innovation
• All along the production value chain: production, design, distribution and marketing.
• Technological (related to the introduction of new technologies) or non-technological (organizational, managerial or institutional).
• Incremental (through small improvements), radical (through major breakthroughs) or revolutionary (a fundamentally important new technology is created).
