Defining this category more precisely[edit]

I think this category should contain articles that discuss various theories and issues in the study of innovation. I don't believe this category should contain innovations or innovators. These belong in the subcategories. Am I right? ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 06:12, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved these articles out of the category. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 07:21, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another thought[edit]

It is difficult (for many editors, apparently) to sort out the difference between "innovation", "invention" and "technological change". I think these terms are sufficiently related that we may not need separate categories for each. Could this category move to "innovation, invention and technological change"? ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 07:15, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
