Design Definition
(Continuation)
Decisions are by their nature the product of something external to the design
process - they are the actions of a Designer, not attributes of the design. This
has parallel connotations to the word 'create', which similarly requires a
creator.
Innovation
Popadiuk, (2006)
"In the research literature, the definition of innovation includes the concepts of
novelty, commercialization and/or implementation. In other words, if an idea has
not been developed and transformed into a product, process or service, or it has
not been commercialized, then it would not be classified as an innovation.
Wikipedia
"Innovation differs from invention in that innovation refers to the use of a new
idea or method, whereas invention refers more directly to the creation of the idea
or method itself."
Within ship design this then begs the question of what the product is: Is it the
ship, or is the design a product in its own right? We can assume that the ship
design is a product in its own right, and that the commercialization of a
design is the act of sending the design to the shipyard for construction.
