Abstract

This technical note describes initial efforts of the University of Toledo Accelerated Radical Innovation (ARI) research team in beginning to develop a comprehensive classification system, describing all dimensions, types, and activity levels of innovation. It does not purport to provide a finalized system, but rather is meant to spark discussion, and motivate additional development and research efforts leading toward a complete comprehensive and understandable system for classifying innovation.
