If innovation comes in a variety of shapes and sizes and is used by different people to mean different things, then making coherent sense of the subject is not an easy task. Grouping innovations into categories can help. Essentially, by putting innovations in groups, it should make it easier to make sense of innovation as a whole simply because one can then take each group in turn and subject it to detailed scrutiny. If it is easier to make sense of a small group than large one, then we should be on the way to making sense of innovation.
