Uniting both technical progress and economics we get difficult process which is
divided into three stages:
The creation of new product or production technique and receipt/receiving the first proof of its viability is the invention.
What if…?
The innovation is the first successful adoption of a new product, new production technique or creation of new business forms.
The last stage is diffusion when companies start to copy the most successful innovations.
International diffusion of technical progress enable to
develop our world as fast as it can possibly happen.
