Business ultimately progresses through 4 stages.

Innovation starts with an idea or concept. As the result of an evaluation process the concept becomes the basis for a new or modified product, service, business line or business.

Commercialization is the process of taking the new concept to market. In some cases the market is internal customers, but the same principles and strategies apply. Commercialization brings the idea to life.

Operation involves the ongoing management activities required to sustain the initiative.

Companies need to look for ways to innovate with new products, processes, markets, customers, distribution channels, business models, pricing, technology, management practices, alliances, acquisitions, and more.

The alternative to continuous innovation is business termination. Termination occurs when the business design cannot sustain the Operation.
