Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

3.1 Incremental & Radical Innovation

Course subject(s) 3. How Innovations Come About

Do you still remember the definition of innovation given by Jeroen?

“Innovation is an activity or process which may lead to previously unknown designs pertaining either to the physical world (think of buildings or infrastructure), the conceptual world (for example conceptual frameworks, mathematics, logic, theory, software), the institutional world (like social and legal institutions, procedures and organizations) or combinations of these which – when implemented – expand the set of options.”

In the web lecture, we will focus on technical innovation and we will discuss four topics with you:

  1. What is Innovation?
  2. Incremental vs. Radical Innovation
  3. Does responsible innovation require radical innovation?
  4. Are new moral issues raised by radical innovations?
