Max Olupot posted: '...Innovation — economically successful use of invention is innovation, to delivers social and economic change.
 
Its imporant to note that Knowledge cannot be regarded as innovation unless it is transformed into products and processes that have social and economic use

…In its broadest sense, innovation covers the activities and processes associated with the generation/production, distribution, adaptation and use of new technical, institutional, organizational and managerial knowledge
The Innovation therefore in this context is viewed in transformations in peoples livelihhoods.'
