Innovation and Adaptation

Worksheet Description

In the business world, both innovation and adaptation are crucial concepts that drive growth, competitiveness, and long-term success.

Innovation in business refers to the introduction of a new idea, method, process, product, or service that adds value. It often involves improving an existing product or service, creating better solutions to meet new requirements, or addressing unmet needs in the market.

Adaptation in business refers to the ability of a company to adjust or change its processes, strategies, or products in response to external factors, shifts in the market, or emerging trends. It is reactive in nature, implying a response to a change that has already occurred.

Imagine you’re running a small local bookstore, and due to a rise in digital reading devices, fewer people are buying physical books. To keep your business thriving, you decide to innovate and adapt. Describe the new services or products you introduce to attract customers back to your store. How do you blend tradition with modernity to ensure your bookstore remains a community favorite?
