Innovation and difference between invention andinnovationP1 Innovation and its importance to staffsInvention and innovation are entirely distinct aspects. Invention is the initiation of a new productor service in the market while when a product is upgraded by adding certain features in it orservices are improvised to meet consumers’ demands, it is known as innovation (BESSANT &TIDD, 2015). Marketers adopted innovation within an aim to improvise a product or a servicethat already exist in the market or when the product or service has already been invented.

Example of Apple Inc.can be taken while explaining about innovation because Steve Jobs has made significantcontribution to innovation in relation Apple Inc. The most remarkable innovation of Steve Jobsis the launch of iPod of Apple (Wonglimpiyarat, 2012). There are about 1.4 million users ofiPod across the globe which has witnessed popularity since its launch. Apple’s iPod has been thenumber one product on terms of generating profits and revenues and from the perspective of unitsold. Not only its attractive look has facilitated it gaining tremendous popularity, but otherfeatures such as storing capacity, sleek design, integrated with upgraded technology, availabilityand mobility are some of the other key features that have made won hearts of millions(Cusumano, 2010). From the example of Apple it is evident that innovation is a strategic move that is adopted byorganizations in order to meet customers demand (Jun & Sung Park, n.d.). Upon understandingthe growing interest of people towards advancement of technology, Apple has launched iPodtargeting music lovers across the lovers. The innovation has been successful and the product hasbecome successful in winning a wide array of customer’s satisfaction (Heracleous &Papachroni, 2012). With product or service innovation business organizations are likely to be
more efficient in engaging its staffs to generate innovative and creative thinking that not onlyhelp them build a work environment of engagement and active participation but staffs arepositively motivated when their innovative and creative thinking are acknowledged andpromoted in an organization. Staffs in recent times prefer working with organisations that allowthem with challenging and innovative tasks where they can integrate their skill and competencerather than involving in repetitive and boring jobs (Holsapple, 2013). Hence, innovation allowsstaffs work against challenges and in a more innovative work environment.

Not only are the demands of the customers changing continuously but market also has beenwitnessing continuous change where organizations are needed to implement innovation to meetthose market changes (Arvanitis, et al., 2013).
