How Compressible Are Innovation Processes?

How Compressible are Sparse Innovation Processes?

The sparsity and compressibility of finite-dimensional signals are of great interest in fields such as compressed sensing. The notion of compressibility is also extended to infinite sequences of i.i.d. or ergodic random variables based on the observed error in their nonlinear k-term approximation. In this work, we use the entropy measure to study the compressibility of continuous-domain innovat...

Innovation in the Agro-Food Sector: from Technical Innovation-Centred Approaches to Sustainability Transition Processes

Innovation is a complex phenomenon and process involving translation of knowledge into new techniques, products, services. It is considered crucial for sustainable agriculture development and achievement of long-term food security. The review describes the diversity of innovation and relates it to agro-food sector. It also sheds light on different innovation models and explores their contributi...

Innovation and knowledge creation: How are these concepts related?

Innovation and knowledge creation—these two concepts have a strong relationship but this relationship has not been examined systematically. This paper reviews the important theoretical work in both streams of research, highlighting the fundamental similarities and differences. Four major models of innovation are compared, and the distinction between radical and incremental innovation is examine...

Innovation in Business Processes

Business to consumer electronic commerce will need better tools, beyond browsers and gadgets, for the user to take full advantage of the opportunities of the electronic marketplace. On the other side, business needs to rethink their positioning, and to deal with this new customer using new methods and tools. We present in this paper a tool for navigating large information spaces, such as the We...
