The Innovation Process of the Microwave Heat Technology

The objective of this paper is to illustrate a case of process innovation, the microwave heat technology created by a ready-meals producer. The microwave heat treatment is a technological innovation because it has successfully, commercially exploited the microwave oven technology (an invention) as it became embodied into a new process which was new to the world. This paper is structured to facilitate the formation of linkages between innovation theory and the innovation process
