Also this part pointsout the direction of development, and its leading role in future design. The innovation ofthis thesis can be found in the introduction of the conceptual books’ innovation point,such as the forms of innovation. The thesis points out that innovative point takingadvantage of overall innovation, and how to innovate through binding style, as well asorganizational structures.
