 * Definition 1:** Consists of all of the decisions, activities, and their impacts that occur from recognition of a need or a problem, through research, development and commercialization of an innovation, through diffusion and adoption of the innovation by users, to its consequences. ....which corresponds roughly to the process of knowledge transfer

 * Definition 4:** The innovation-development process enables to understand the relevant activities and phases that are made throughout the innovation lifecycle. The innovation-development process consists of six phases. Rogers (1995) starts with a 1) problem or need which will lead to 2) research and 3) development. The development phase is followed by the 4) commercialisation and the 5) diffusion and adoption phase. The innovation-development process ends with the 6) consequences of the innovation. Rogers (1995) argues that these stages are somewhat arbitrary and they do not always occur in this order. The innovation-development process creates an understanding on why an innovation is created and how it is being adopted.
