Schumpeter stated that innovation involves "new combinations" that can take five forms: introducing new products, new production methods, new markets, new supply sources, and new market structures within an industry.

Despite varying definitions, innovation is universally understood to be characterized by its "novelty." It signifies something new or different.

There is no one perfect definition of innovation, and the distinctions between different types of innovation are often not clear-cut, leading to ongoing debate.

Schumpeter's ideas about innovation were partly inspired by the economic theories of David Ricardo, particularly regarding the concept of 'new combinations.'

Schumpeter's concept of innovation, emphasizing "new combinations," was influenced by earlier economic ideas, specifically those of David Ricardo, who contributed to understanding the dynamics of economic change.

Schumpeter identified five types of innovation: new products, new production methods, new markets, new sources of supply, and new market structures within an industry.

Despite various formulations, innovation is recognized as a phenomenon driven by "novelty," signifying the introduction of something new and different.

The wide range of types of innovation and the ongoing evolution of the concept make it difficult to pinpoint one clear-cut definition.
