What do we mean with invention, innovation, and diffusion?
An invention is the result of a generation of ideas by chance or by systematic research
An invention (knowledge) turns into an innovation when it becomes an economical useful

Diffusion is the process through which innovation becomes used by others; source of societal
welfare.

What do we mean with basic research, applied research, and development?
In basic research, one aims to gain understanding of a phenomenon or improve scientific
theories; emphasis on the why-question
In applied research, one tries to solve a specific problem or provide innovative solutions to
issues affecting an individual, group or society; emphasis on the how-question
In development research, one uses collected knowledge in the making of new products or
services

problems and benefits.

idea and implementation sets up everything needed to develop the innovation
