presented in the frame ofMechanical Engineering and Industrial Design curriculums. Innovation as suggested is the creationof a new product-market-technology-organisation-combination (PMTO-combination) consisting ofthree key elements: 1) Innovation is a process and should be managed as such, 2) the result is atleast one new element in the company’s PMTO-combinations. 3) The extent to which theinnovation is new may range from incremental, small step innovation, through synthetic innovation,i.e. the creative recombination of existing techniques, ideas or methods, to discontinuous, radical,quantum-leap innovation. Often new means: new, somewhere on the continuum. The company inthis case - a very small business - wanted just an aluminium
