[SOLVED] Innovation is not the product of logical thought. 2
I need an explanation for this Management question to help me study.
Initial question
Einstein once said, “Innovation is not the product of logical thought, although the result is tied to logical structure.” Explain what Einstein meant in this statement. How does this statement affirm the innovative organization you researched for your assignment? Provide specific examples.
Initial Response:
ilva, Styles & Lages (2017) postulate that the term innovation entails coming up with a new idea or procedure to solve a problem or to implement a given strategy. Therefore, it has no fixed protocol or logical thought. It is a creative thought as sometimes it requires decisions to be made and implemented on the spot. For instance, if there is fire and you do not have a fire extinguisher, you will not go to buy it. You can decide to use available tools like twigs and soil. However, to achieve the result, the creative, though, must be executed as per the requirement for results to be realized.
In organizations, instant decisions are sometimes required to avoid the enormous mistake that may cause a considerable loss. In the Apple company case, the organization is determined to keep pace with modern technology and the changing needs of consumers (Le?niak-Moczuk, 2016). The organization cannot plan to launch a new device ahead of time in as it cannot accurately predict the needs of the consumers in the future. It comes up with new gadgets every year based on current consumer desires. For instance, it cannot predetermine the features of a device they will launch in 2050. The reason is that innovation is not a logic though, but a creative thought based on the surrounding circumstances.

But couldn’t someone use logic and say ‘perhaps water is not the best thing for this fire because in some instances, water feeds the fire.’ Do you have to be creative to put out a fire?
