The exploitation of ideas and their correct use in the commercial area leads to innovations, which are an essential requirement for a successful business strategy. The correct use of knowledge and ideas are major challenges for management. Many ideas are inaccurately valued, data is often insufficiently coordinated and therefore, many possible innovations are not recognized nor brought into the market.
