"It is always an individual who is the impetus for innovation; the details may be worked out by a team, but true innovation results from the enterprise and unique perception of an individual."

In the annuls of history,It has been already proved several times. It is an individual who is the impetus for innovation. One can't completely deny the fact of team work leads to innovation, because of which companies are emphasizing on teamwork now a days. Basically they buy a patent which is a research work of individual.In most cases former proved valid and individual perception leads to innovation.

First of all,a innovative mind has a impulsive desire and interest on a particular subject or concept. end result of constant thought process is new ideas. for example Archimedes principals were results of his perception not a team work. He found out new principals when he was taking bath and run out screaming "UREKA". This example clearly states that a individual's constant thinking on a subject and research yield to innovation.

Secondly, in a team there may be several people of unique idea and way of working together. By a team work eventually one can expect a solution for a problem. Having said that we can't completely deny the fact that "Team work can't lead to innovation".Some cases an open discussion may give a breakthrough for years of years research work.For example ERP a functional module of SAP is built over many years by team work and constant efforts. ERP is a wonderful innovation and eases day to day activity.

perception about innovation and team work changed over epoch.Earlier individuals like Newton,Archimedes,Graham Bel etc were well know scientists. During these time innovation mostly depend on individual perception. There are many supportive reasons for the same. Over the eon students in a team carried out research work,team in a company for execution of a work changed comprehension of innovation. We understood over time importance of team for innovation. Eventually individuals in team only lead to innovation but it team work is more effective in bringing out once enterprise and innovation.

Finally we infer that even though individual who is impetus for innovation, when he work in a team chances of bringing out with new ideas are more. So many companies and universities over time started research in groups. so it has become a general notion team which work out details may work as a factor for innovation, and individual perception and enterprise can be well lead to innovation when worked out in groups.
