definitions of innovation all center around one word: forward.  People who are innovative are forward-thinking and forward-moving, and innovative products or ideas are ones that take us forward.  Modern innovation is not confined to business or economics, though. It can be found in every aspect of life, from health care and ethical thought to politics, religion, food production, and the entertainment industry. PLU’s 20-credit minor is interdisciplinary, with courses from 11 different schools and
