CONT

Because design knowledge is relatively high when we are dealing with modifications of existing products, we describe this design situation as "Incremental Design"....

CONT

A mature design with incremental innovation - the motor car.

OBS

The verb forms "to design better products" also refer to the same concept. Contrast with "real innovation".

French

DEF

apparition d'une nouvelle version d'un type de produit existant.

OBS

Le résultat d'une innovation radicale est l'apparition d'un produit profondément changé. Celui d'une invention cumulative est l'apparition d'une version améliorée. En revanche, la création d'un produit résulte d'une invention.
