Abstract

The approaches to support innovation in industry, including ICT tools, have experienced tremendous changes in last decades and are likely to be a subject of further evolution. Many research trends could be observed that are likely to provide new innovation approaches and effective means to support such new innovation processes. This paper provides an overview of some of the key trends in product/process innovation in industry. The emphasis is on new approaches for innovation that are already emerging and will find their wide application in industry. Special emphasis is made upon ICT as a key facilitator of the innovation process in future.
