Quotations on innovation

Some quotations about innovation that we’re particularly fond of.  Edison, in particular, always advocated that innovation and opportunity revealed themselves through hard work and experimentation, not flashes of insight.

The second quotation is especially timely, since the consumer electronics and media industries are waiting with bated breath right now for Apple’s latest innovation, its rumored tablet computer.

Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship… the act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth.

Peter Drucker

Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.

Steve Jobs

I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.

Thomas Edison
