PROGENY
"When
innovation takes place,there
is an intimate linkage or fusion of two
or more elements that have not been
previously joined in just this fashion,
so that the result is a qualitatively
distinct whole ...If we may use a
biological anatogy,an innovation is
like a genetic cross or hybrid,it is
totally different from either of its
parents,but it resembles both of them
in some respects."
H.G.
BARNETT
from "Innovation : The
Basis of Cultural Change"
