What is innovation?
In technology, an improvement to something already existing. Distinguishing an element of novelty in an invention remains a concern of patent law. The Renaissance was a period of unusual innovation: Leonardo da Vinci produced ingenious designs for submarines, airplanes, and helicopters and drawings of elaborate trains of gears and of the patterns of flow in liquids. Technology provided science with instruments that greatly enhanced its powers, such as Galileo's telescope. New sciences have also contributed to technology, as in the theoretical preparation for the invention of the steam engine. In the 20th century, innovations in semiconductor technology increased the performance and decreased the cost of electronic materials and devices by a factor of a million, an achievement unparalleled in the history of any technology.
Product, service, or idea that is perceived by consumers as new. There are differing magnitudes of innovation. Adding bran to an established brand of breakfast cereal is considered a continuous innovation in that it constitutes a small change to an existing product with little market impact, as opposed to discontinuous innovations like the personal computer, which caused great societal impact. The public outcry against the "new" Coca-Cola belied the relatively small continuous innovation that it was. An innovative strategy uses continuous innovation to stay one step ahead of the competition.
Innovation is the basic driving force behind entrepreneurship and the creation of small businesses. When an individual comes up with an idea that has not previously been explored, or a niche that larger businesses have not been able to exploit, he or she may be able to turn that idea into a successful business venture. "Ideas are the fuel that keep entrepreneurial fires blazing," I. Satya Sreenivas wrote in The Business Journal. "Savvy entrepreneurs realize the fact that ideas can originate from anywhere at anytime, and a random idea could be more worthwhile than a well-researched project."
Of course, not every new idea has the potential to become a successful business. And in many cases, individuals with good, marketable ideas fail to come up with the capital needed to turn their ideas into reality. But innovation is still a necessary first step for small business success in many instances. Moreover, entrepreneurs cannot afford to stop innovating once they have established a successful business. Innovation applies not only to new business and product ideas, but also to the internal workings of a company. Successful business owners continually innovate with regards to internal systems and processes in order to create and sustain a source of competitive advantage. "The global economy requires that companies generate an unending stream of new products, systems, technologies, and services," Claus Weyrich wrote in Electronic News. "And innovation has to be applied to things other than products."
According to Weyrich, sustaining innovation in a business organization requires an understanding of the company's core competencies, an innovative corporate culture, and a systematic approach. He described three phases in the innovation process: 1) the invention phase, in which ideas are generated; 2) the implementation phase, in which the best ideas are selected and developed further; and 3) the market penetration phase, in which ideas are exploited for commercial gain. This process is an ongoing one, with feedback used to close the loop.
Analysts agree that companies of all sizes need to place innovation in a broader context than just traditional research and development and manage the process of innovation in a structured way. "Companies need to establish a seamless innovation process—an enterprise-wide exchange of ideas that will ensure that the information and expertise required to create, market, and service breakthrough products is available and accessible to those who need it," Chemical Week contributor Ken Cottrill explained. "If all the people able to extract value from a new product or technology are in the information loop, there is a smaller chance that opportunities will be squandered." Making use of the information resources available within a company allows employees to benefit from "corporate memory." They are better able to focus on innovation because they know where others have been before them.
It is important to include the whole company in the innovation process, because the germ of idea can come from anywhere, and the best ideas often grow out of a combination of functional areas. Establishment of a network structure can provide a framework for this desired innovation. A network structure includes cross-functional groups within the company, cross-links between the various groups, and can even include linkages with external parties such as customers and suppliers. "Companies of all sizes can adopt this approach to innovation," said Cottrill. "There is no standard blueprint for these networks, because they are shaped by a company's business goals and organizational structure. However, the individuals who make up these groups are unified by a common mission and are in regular communication."
Small businesses face a number of obstacles to effective innovation, the most obvious being limited financial, knowledge, and manpower resources. But studies suggest that a lack of strategic alignment and well-defined processes, which can be addressed and overcome by talented, determined entrepreneurs, can be even greater obstacles to innovation. In fact, one of the most important factors in promoting company-wide innovation is the support of the small business owner. "A corporation's synapses may be buzzing with creative ideas and initiatives, but without support from the top echelons, this effort can lose momentum, and innovation becomes stifled," Cottrill stated.

Cuepacs demands cash for overtime work
KUALA LUMPUR: Cuepacs is demanding cash payment instead of off-days for overtime work by civil servants.
Its secretary-general, Ahmad Shah Mohd Zin, said today that since last December almost 50,000 support staff from various government departments and statutory bodies had been given just off-days for the overtime work.
"For every eight hours of overtime work they were given one day off," he said.
"We consider this as exploitation and want the government to take immediate steps to stop this practice because it is very demoralising and affects the staff productivity," he told Bernama today.
Cuepacs, he said would meet the Chief Secretary of the Government and the Public Service Department (PSD) director-general to sort out the issue.
Bernama understands that the departments had resorted to such measures to cut cost and also to speed up their delivery service.
"Our output targets are much higher now and we need the cooperation of our staff to work longer hours," said a department head.
"However, our allocations for overtime are insufficient, hence we have come up with this system of giving off-days.
"Except for a few workers, most of them were agreeable to the arrangement as they were keen to meet the set target and improve the delivery system in line with present government policy," he said.

Prosecution urges judge not to recuse from Anwar trial
KUALA LUMPUR: Solicitor-General II Datuk Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden today reminded Judge Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah not to be perturbed by criticism arising from the ongoing sodomy trial of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim while persuading the judge to not recuse himself.
During submissions today, the lead prosecutor told Mohamad Zabidin that people would invariably express criticism against a judge's decision, regardless of which side the ruling favoured.
But for a judge to bear potential criticism in mind when making a decision was tantamount to "not doing your duty (as a judge)", Mohd Yusof added.
"Your lordship has ruled against the prosecution in (Anwar's bid for additional) evidence but we didn't say you are biased so just rule out (the recusal) proceedings," Mohd Yusof said, referring to Mohamad Zabidin's earlier decision to award Anwar additional documents and evidence.
The Federal Court on Jan 29 had overruled Mohamad Zabidin's decision, ruling that Anwar was not entitled the documents and evidence the latter had demanded from prosecutors.
Mohamad Zabidin today heard lengthy submissions from Mohd Yusof and Anwar's lead counsel Karpal Singh after Anwar filed an application seeking Mohamad Zabidin's recusal.
Anwar, in his affidavit, had contended that there could be "a fear of a real danger of bias" on the part of Mohamad Zabidin after the latter refused to caution Utusan Malaysia or cite the paper for contempt.
In earlier arguments for Mohamad Zabidin to stop hearing the trial, Karpal accused the former of "not stating the truth" and, by extension, "lying" when Mohamad Zabidin declined to cite Utusan Malaysia during proceedings last week.
"In this application, what's fundamental is this, and I say this without mincing my words, whether your lordship is indeed guilty of not stating what is the truth. What's not true can also be described as false and a lie," Karpal said.
Referring to precedents, Karpal added that a judge who did not speak the truth would have lost his right to sit on the bench and preside over the trial.
Karpal was challenging Mohamad Zabidin's finding that the bed placed in the master bedroom of the apartment unit where the alleged sodomy took place was mentioned in open court.
"This means your lordship did not tell the truth and this means your lordship lied. If so your lordship cannot be unbiased and impartial. Your lordship ought to step down," Karpal said, disagreeing that Saiful had mentioned the bed in open court.
Karpal also said it was of "fundamental importance" that justice must be "manifestly, expressly and undoubtedly be seen to be done".
"There's no point in blaming the foreign press for critcising our legal system if judges cannot live up to what's expected of them in trial...
"The judiciary must redeem itself. Your lordship ought to redeem yourself. A judge must not lie, he must not say what is not the truth," Karpal said, maintaining that the recusal application was not a "personal affront" against Mohamad Zabidin.
Karpal reminded Mohamad Zabidin he was bound by the Judges' Code of Ethics and could be referred to a disciplinary committee if found to be acting partially.
The veteran lawyer also took a swipe of judges, remarking that previous judges were "giants in their own right unlike present judges".
In submissions, Karpal also argued that a judge should recuse himself based on the test of a "reasonable apprehension of bias".
In reply to Karpal's arguments, Mohd Yusof submitted that the test should be a test of "real danger of bias" rather than a probability of bias.
According to Mohd Yusof, a real danger of bias could be found in a situation where a judge had "a personal friendship or animosity" with any person involved in a case or if a judge had expressed an "extreme or unbalanced" views during the courts of a hearing.
"The presumption of judge's impartiality has to be challenged on serious grounds... The burden of proof is on the applicant, strong proof must be showed," Mohd Yusof said.
Mohd Yusof added that Anwar's grouses against Utusan Malaysia was not an issue that had bearing on the sodomy charge or the trial's final outcome.
"Judges are trained to confine themselves to evidence produced in court rather than what the newspaper decides to report. The matter complained about is something extraneous, petty (remeh) and is something that shouldn't be complained about," Mohd Yusof added.
Mohd Yusof also ticked off Karpal for using "strong language" when the latter contended that Mohamad Zabidin had "lied".
"So to say that your lordship lied is very strong words. You can argue a client's case without fear or favour but to use strong language is unacceptable. We can be firm but we have to be polite. I'm not even asking the court to cite Karpal for contempt but use proper language," Mohd Yusof said.
After hearing submissions, Mohamad Zabidin said "obviously I cannot make my decision today" before summoning counsels into his chambers to fix a date to deliver his decision.
Mohamad Zabidin then reappeared shortly after and announced Feb 18 to deliver his decision.

Anwar doubtful over Saiful death threat
KUALA LUMPUR: Pakatan Rakyat (PR) leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today scoffed at the "suspicious" circumstances surrounding the purported Facebook death threat against his former aide and sodomy accuser Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan.
Commenting on the matter, Anwar said he was informed by his staff that the person had commented on the Facebook page and removed the comment shortly after but the screen capture of the posting had remarkably made its way to Saiful's email "in a short time".
"It can't be that they (the police) don't know who sent the email. Investigate lah," Anwar said, when met after his sodomy trial at the Kuala Lumpur High Court today.
When asked if he had known about the purported death threat posted on his Facebook fan page, Anwar remarked, "My Facebook page has thousands (of followers), how would I know?"
"He (Saiful) is fully monitored by an effective police team. Whereas I am only monitored by Azizah only," Anwar quipped, while gesturing to his wife and Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) President Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Ismail, who was standing beside him.
Saiful on Tuesday lodged a police report on the threat against his life at the Sentul district police station, claiming that he was informed of the death threat on Monday via email from an unknown person.
The 24-year-old told reporters Tuesday that the email came with an attachment of a screen capture of the purported posting on Anwar's Facebook fan page showing a comment left by a Anaz Zahari who allegedly wrote in Bahasa Malaysia, "To all friends, whoever knows or meets Saiful Bukhari Azlan anywhere, you are obliged to kill him using any method for the sake of mankind's peace".
Saiful last week testified, alleging that he was sodomised by the former deputy prime minister on June 26, 2008 at the Desa Damansara condominium in Bukit Damansara here.

Saiful gets death threat via Facebook
In his police report filed at the Sentul police headquarters, Saiful said that he had received an e-mail Monday asking him to check the Facebook Fanpage of Anwar.
When Saiful went to Facebook, he saw a message from someone calling himself Anaz Zahari who urged anyone who met Saiful to kill him.
In his police report, Saiful said that he viewed this as a serious matter and feared for his and his family’s safety.

Dr Zambry is valid Perak MB, Federal Court rules
The decision was read out by Chief Judge of Malaya Tan Sri Arifin Zakaria, who sat with Court of Appeal President Tan Sri Alauddin Mohd Sheriff and Federal Court judges Datuk Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin, Datuk Wira Ghazali Mohd Yusoff and Datuk Abdull Hamid Embong.
The bench ruled that the Court of Appeal was right in reversing the High Court ruling.
The apex court ruled that if a mentri besar refused to resign, his office was deemed to have been vacated.
The bench ruled that the vote of no confidence could be determined by other means than from the Perak Assembly.
It was the final step in the appeal by former Pakatan Rakyat Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin to reclaim the Mentri Besar's post.
However, the losing party in a court case can apply to the Federal Court to review its own ruling under Rule 137 of the Rules of the Federal Court to challenge the matter on constitutional points.
A calm-looking Nizar told reporters Wednesday that the decision was “not unexpected” and that he and his team would need to study the written judgement before deciding what to do next.
The conflict over who was the rightful Mentri Besar arose last year after three Pakatan assemblymen quit their parties to become independent state assemblymen, leaving Pakatan and Barisan with 28 assemblymen each in the 59-seat Perak legislative assembly.
The Sultan of Perak then named Dr Zambry the Mentri Besar of Perak.
Nizar took the matter to the High Court which ruled in his favour. Dr Zambry, however, got a stay of judgement and went to the Court of Appeal which overturned the High Court ruling.
Nizar then appealed to the Federal Court.
Dr Zambry, who was not in court, later told reporters that the court's decision would allow Barisan Nasional to continue working for the people.
Meanwhile, Dr Zambry's lawyers came out of the court room waving happily to the crowd. Dr Zambry was not present in the court.
Supporters of both sides erupted into shouting slogans with Dr Zambry supporters chanting 'Hidup BN' while Nizar's supporters shouted 'tipu, Zambry penakut, MB haram.'
Earlier, supporters of both Dr Zambry and Nizar had gathered outside the court as early as 7am with some of them shouting ‘bubar dun’ and ‘hidup rakyat’.
FRU personnel had a tough time managing the crowd. In the end, Dr Zambry’s supporters were kept to the left while Nizar’s supporters moved to the right of the area leading to the court room.
