It
is with great interest that I follow R Goplakrishnan’s (Tata Sons) column Innoculum. Last week the column discussed
the etymological history of the word Innovation; especially, on the colloquial
equivalents as well as the evolutionary struggles between invention and
innovation. And, what struck me about the commentary was the singular absence
of any reference to a body of objective research on social innovations amongst
indigenous communities, as also within mixed-ethnic communities. Perhaps the
author could be forgiven for his focus on innovations across economics,
politics and science! But I do believe that social innovations can really teach
as much for business and scientific innovators, as much as they have been
influenced by the latter.
Wishing
you a wonderful week ahead, and hope that you will get lots of opportunities to
practice lateral thinking and try out some innovations.
