Face validity evidence for theinstrument was evaluated using Item Face Validity Index (IFV-I), Universal Agreement ScaleValidity (S-IFV/UA), and Average Scale Face Validity (S-IFV/Ave) [27]. The IFV-I indicatesthe percentage of raters who assign an item with clarity of 3 or 4. The S-IFV/Ave is calculatedby averaging the IFV-I scores across all items on the scale, or alternatively, the mean clarity andcomprehension ratings from all raters. The proportion of clarity is determined by averaging theindividual ratings provided by each rater. The S-IFV/UA refers to the proportion of items on thescale that receive clarity ratings of 3 or 4 from

search of Google Scholar yields over five million research documents using orpurporting to define “innovation,” many in very specific contexts or with certain connotations [5]. Whilethere are some papers using innovation and invention interchangeably, there is a significant trend toinclude bringing the idea to practice, or implementation, as necessary for innovation.In order to emphasize the consequences (positive or negative) of innovation and link it directly toeconomic development, we expand the definition to: Innovation = Idea + Implementation + Impact.This is the first set of three “I”s – those used in defining innovation succinctly.
