The hole process can be viewed as an evolutionary integration of organization, technology and market by iterating series of activity: search, select, implement and capture. innovation processes can either be pushed or pulled through development. A pushed processes is based on existing or newly invented technology, that the organization has access to, and tries to find profitable applications for. A pulled process is based on finding areas where customers needs are not met, and then find solutions to those needs.
