Conclusions<br />

Reviewing the definition of innovation in many authors' works, we may find a variety of<br />

analogies, which are based on innovation as a process and the results obtained<br />

identification: basically progressive novelty, which means a complex creation, development,<br />

global spread and an effective use of innovation in various spheres of human activity, which<br />

is supported by all the company's new technologies. The assessment forms of innovation<br />

(products, services, processes, situation, strategy, management), which is the basis for<br />

innovation activities, can be considered these - the product and service innovation.<br />

Innovation as the process plays an important role in the economic activity of companies -<br />

innovation is a discipline, which is focused on continuous opportunities to meet human<br />

needs, to look for more efficient ways of organizing business starting with the research work<br />

and ending with the innovative product or service commercialization that can be practiced<br />

in the company of any size. The term innovation is ambiguous: in everyday speech, it also<br />

means the process and the result. Innovation means the process, when it comes to the idea<br />

of transforming the demand for having a product or service, a new or improved<br />

manufacturing or distribution process, or a new method of social service. Innovation refers<br />

to the result, when it comes to a new and improved product, equipment or services with<br />

market demand. A new product is associated with the process of innovation. For deeper<br />

knowledge innovation, it must be linked to the performance concept. Innovative activities<br />

can be described as a complex process involving the creation of innovation, its<br />

dissemination and utilization. Innovative activity is a complex dynamic system, the efficiency<br />

of which depends mainly on innovative practices in the internal mechanism and its<br />

interaction with the external environment.<br />
