Benefits of Innovation and Change To fully understand the benefits of innovation and change, we must first understand what innovation and change actually are. The Oxford Dictionary then defines change as “an act or process through which something becomes different. O’Sullivan describes innovation as something “helping organizations grow…Innovation is the process of making changes to something established by introducing something new” (http://www.sagepub.com/upm-data/23137_Chapter_1.pdf). There has always been the need for organisations to change, update and improve but now more than ever given the world’s current economic situation and the need to more than satisfy market needs. First an organisation must recognise their need to change a current process, their equipment, structure or any other possible thing to change.
People go through frequent phase changes which normally involve a change in attire and a thorough change in that of an overall physical appearance as well. The type of clothes, the hair style, the makeup, all contribute to the image of how a person wants to be portrayed by the public. The image change can result in a change of popularity, which can either positively or negatively impact ones public recognition. Public recognition tends to be based on an individual’s actions rather than of their physical image. The way one talks, the attitude one carries, the level of confidence they hold, the attention one tries to gain, and the respect one has, is all collected to create a reputation of who that person is.

Essay topic: “It is often asserted that new entrants more typically introduce radical innovations than do incumbent firms. Is this accurate? Discuss.” In this Essay I would describe the factors seen in the scholar literature as the key incentives for the firm to introduce the radical innovation, dwell on the correlation between these factors and the status of the firm (new entrant or incumbent), point out the changes of this correlation in historian prospective and elaborate on the current ratio of the new entrants and incumbent firms in the radical innovations and its possible future developments. It is important to notice that different kinds of radical innovations should be distinguished. While it is common to treat the new technology as a radical innovation, here we would talk about the radical innovation both in technical and economic sense.
Graphic Novels: A Step Forward Anything goes, as they say, in the postmodern condition; anything that sells, to be precise. To say that there is ‘a wholesale paradigm shift of the cultural, social, and economic orders’ would be ‘overblown’. Yet there is an obvious shift in sensibility, discourse formations, as, among other things, high art and mass culture merge in a ‘new creative relationship’ or, at least, as their gap increasingly narrows down. Coupled with the postmodern cravings for instant gratification, for extraordinary incidents incessantly supplied through rapid means of communication, the situation cannot be more suitable for the emergence of graphic novel. I intend to examine, in this essay, graphic novel as a effective medium of expression of postmodern condition and as a step taken towards the realization of the ideals of Cubism and Futurism with special reference to India’s first graphic novel, Corridor.
Over time a stimulus may affect a segment of the population in such a dramatic way that they alter as a society their moral make. “The nature and structure of belief systems is important from the perspective of an informational theorist because beliefs are thought to provide the cognitive foundation of an attitude. In order to change an attitude, then, it is presumably necessary to modify the information on which that attitude rests. It is generally necessary, therefore, to change a person's beliefs, eliminate old beliefs or introduce new beliefs." (Richard Petty) The unfolding of time brings changes and transitions to societies.
The maturing from childhood to adulthood shows that identity is always changing. New roles are taken on, new responsibilities are given, and identities change. Identities must be adjusted to each new situation in a unique way because situations have the ability to change an
For example it addresses issues that society will have to endure and face many challenging changes according to power, expansion and new members and leaders in charge. Three topics of concern that affect the society and our environment will be thinking/language, health psychology with mind, body, behavior and stress, motivation/emotions with cognitive dissonance. Thinking & language: society will have to come up with new innovative problem solving techniques to reduce the discomfort of the new ideas and changes that will occur with China becoming the world’s largest economy and the global challenges we may face. World leaders will have to collaborate and come up with solutions for sake goodness for all men. Creative thinking that will be implemented with the rapid growth of cities, populations, and demand for resources.
Together, these changes contribute to advances in one’s identity. Many aspects of the life course that were once socially structured such as marriage, parenthood, religious beliefs, and career paths are increasingly left to individual decision. Emerging adults play a more active role in their own development than at any earlier time. As they explore, they often face disappointments in love and work that require them to adjust, and sometimes change, their life path. It is therefore important an individual has social support to foster resilience.
