The importance of innovative thinking: innovation and innovative thinking. What is innovation? Innovation is a word that appears very frequently in today's world and our country. Entrepreneurs, government officials, our university professors and students present here are almost obsessed with innovation. Meanwhile, innovation is a very old word. In English, the word innovation comes from Latin. Its original intention has three meanings, one is renewal. Second, create new things. Third, change. As a theory, innovation was formed in the 20th century. Schumpeter, a professor at Harvard University who is familiar with economics and management, introduced innovation into the economic field for the first time in 19 12.
Innovative thinking refers to the thinking process of solving problems with novel and original methods. Through this kind of thinking, we can break through the boundaries of conventional thinking, think about problems with unconventional or even unconventional methods and perspectives, and put forward unique solutions, thus producing novel, unique and socially meaningful thinking results.
Innovation is the hope of mankind and the hope of the nation. From drilling wood for fire to the invention of steam engine, from the smoke from beacon tower to modern internet technology, a history of human civilization is a history of constantly surpassing innovation.
Innovation is the soul of a nation's progress, the driving force of a country's prosperity and development, and the source of a person's eternal vitality in his work and even in his career. Practice tells us
In learning, whoever is good at innovative thinking will have a smart brain;
At work, whoever is good at innovative thinking will have more ways;
In business, whoever is good at innovative thinking will have a broad world;
In cultivation, whoever is good at innovative thinking will have a good image.
Specifically, the direct impact, important role and even positive significance of innovative thinking on us can be summarized as follows.
1, the ability of innovative thinking will determine a person's development future.
Two college graduates are assigned to the same company at the same time. Two years later, college student A was promoted to deputy section chief. B college students are very unbalanced about this. He went to the boss of the company and said, didn't we come together? We all work very hard. How did we promote him but not me? The boss said patiently, B, OK, I'll make it clear to you. However, you have been here for so long, please do something for me. It is four o'clock in the afternoon. Go to the free market on the street and see what's on sale. Let me know when you come back. ? Little b said,? Ok, let me see. ? After that, I went downstairs, and soon I came back and said, boss, there is a farmer pushing a cart to sell potatoes in the market. ? The boss asked: How much does this truck of potatoes weigh? Boss, I didn't ask. I'll ask. ? Little b turned and ran downstairs again. when he came back, he said, boss, this car has more than 300 kilograms of potatoes. ? The boss asked, About how much is a catty? Oh, I really didn't ask. Let me ask again. ? I'll come back and talk soon. Boss, 80 cents a catty. ? The boss asked again:? If you buy them all, can you make them cheaper? Boss, please wait a moment, I'll ask again. ? After a while, Xiao B panted upstairs and said, Boss, I said hello and sold it at sixty cents a catty. ? The boss watched little B run four times before and after, and he was sweating. He picked up a cup of hot tea and said, B, why don't you sit down and have a rest? So, I called Xiao, and he mentioned the deputy section chief and said, Small, go to the market next door and see what you have to sell. Let me know when you come back. ? Little A went downstairs steadily and quickly. Come back soon and report to the boss:? There is a farmer pushing a cart of potatoes to sell. How much does it weigh? I asked by the way. More than 300 Jin. How much is a catty? I did ask, 80 cents a catty. What if I buy all my bags? Can he be less? I also asked the old farmer, and he said it was 60 cents a catty. ? The boss said, Tell him to come into the yard. We bought them all. ? Small a immediately replied,? I have called to the door, boss, just waiting for your words. ? As soon as Xiao B saw the process and the result, he understood in his heart and lost his temper and left.
It goes without saying that different innovative thinking abilities lead to different results or endings. It is important to work hard, but in a sense, it is more important to have innovative thinking ability, that is, the ability to adapt to change, the ability to think ahead and the ability to associate. This story profoundly enlightens us that employees who only do manual work can only get basically competent employees, and employees who do both manual work and mental work can be regarded as qualified excellent employees.
2. The level of innovative thinking ability (big or small) will determine a person's professional world.
People who have made achievements in their careers at all times and all over the world can be said to be people with strong innovative thinking ability. With their superb innovative thinking ability, they optimize the combination of things, evaluate them correctly, make scientific judgments on information and carefully arrange them. In short, they have opened up a broad career world by relying on wisdom, characteristics, innovation and ideas, and have been praised and praised by people.
Yang Shizhai, a famous soldier in Qing Dynasty, was good at reverse innovative thinking, organizing and managing the army, and directing and training wars. Did he do it? There are no idle people in the army? And showed his extraordinary strategy, which was passed down as a historical story.
When marching in the war, he left the deaf with him to command, thus avoiding the disclosure of military secrets; He asked the dumb to pass the secret message, even if he was caught by the enemy, he could not ask why; He let the lame guard the shooting range, which not only held the position, but also avoided desertion; He told the blind to listen in the distance so as to detect the enemy's actions in time and create a mechanism for the enemy first. Obviously, through creative reverse thinking, the soldiers have come in handy, reached the best combination, and the overall combat capability has been maximized.
There is also news that there is a joint venture in the south, and in the eyes of ordinary people, the labor productivity has reached? There is no way to doubt the mountains and rivers? Point, no potential, or even any tricks. At this juncture, a workshop director under the company applied for a competitive position. After taking office, on the basis of careful investigation and extensive listening to opinions and suggestions, he took the following measures for the company's four workshops.
The first workshop is full of boys (comrades). Well, adding a few girls (comrades) will greatly improve efficiency. We often have people say that men and women are not tired from work. ? Woman? +? Son? = Good.
The second workshop is full of young people. Well, adding a few middle-aged and elderly people will obviously improve the efficiency.
The third workshop is full of middle-aged and elderly people. Well, adding a few young people to progress will increase vitality and linearly improve efficiency.
The fourth workshop, both young and old, has both men and women. How to improve efficiency? After careful analysis, it is found that this workshop is all local people. Well, add a few outsiders in. They all work hard and their efficiency is greatly improved.
As a result, the face has changed, the efficiency has been improved, the benefits have been enhanced, and the cause has become greater.
3. The transcendence of innovative thinking ability will determine a person's courage and strategy.
Innovative thinking ability is super high, dare to say things that others have never said, dare to do things that others have never done, and dare to think about problems that others have never thought about. The transcendence of innovative thinking ability will determine a person's courage, courage and strategic level.
I remember attending a garden party when I was very young, and I saw a lantern riddle that is still fresh in my memory: a rich man called his three sons to his side before he died, saying that there were 17 Kyle at home, the eldest son got 1/2, the second son got 1/3 and the third son got 1/9.
17 horses 1/2 is 8 and a half horses. Do you want to kill a horse and share the meat? The three sons were confused, so they invited A Zhi Bo from the village to help solve the problem.
Zhi Bo thought and thought, and finally found the answer: he brought a horse from home to make up 18, the eldest son 1/2 got 9 horses, the second son 1/3 got 6 horses and the third son 1/9 got 2 horses. 9+6+2= 17 horses. There is one horse left, which the wise man brought from his home and naturally took back. The contradiction is solved, the period is complete and everyone is happy.
With great wisdom, this wise man skillfully applied knowledge theories such as multiple thinking, accidental thinking, unbounded thinking, extraordinary thinking and profound mathematical principles in innovative thinking, and solved problems that seemed to have no answers in reality. A problem? .
Reality tells us that the development structure of things is not always one-to-one, or two-to-one, sometimes three-to-one or many-to-one. In a sense, this multi-split and diversified development of things is more universal and regular. In nature, many animals are quadruped or multi-legged, many flowers are multi-petaled, many plants are multi-rooted, multi-branched, multi-leaf and multi-fruited, many mountains are multi-peaked, and all rivers are multi-curved. In other words, in daily life, problems like the above are everywhere. If our innovative thinking ability is superb and unique, we will be courageous, knowledgeable, confident, open-minded and have many ways to solve it. A bright future? . Otherwise, your innovative thinking ability is low, and you will be at a loss, helpless, or even? Despair? .
4. Explicit and implicit innovative thinking ability will determine a person's goal design.
Whether or not you have innovative thinking ability, what kind of innovative thinking ability you have, and accurately understanding and grasping the size and manifestation of your innovative thinking ability are helpful to your development orientation and goal design.
After I was promoted to platoon leader on 1979, I have five career development prospects: first, I am a political cadre; The second is to be an army cadre; The third is to be a technical cadre; The fourth is to be a logistics cadre; The fifth is to be a demobilized cadre. According to my outstanding image thinking ability and strong language expression ability, I chose the road of political cadres. After hard work, I was promoted from platoon leader to instructor in 1983, assistant instructor in 1987, instructor in 1989, deputy head in 1992 and political commissar of the graduate team in 1996. Practice has proved that I have determined the right direction and taken the right path.
It can be seen that knowing the level and aspects of our innovative thinking ability can make each of us know ourselves correctly and design ourselves scientifically, so as to exercise and develop ourselves better and correct and improve ourselves. The success of a career, even its glory and greatness, requires a person's work to be combined with his own ability, interest, personality, style and values. If you don't know what qualities and types of talents you belong to, you won't make the right choice. You will not only fail in your work and career, but also waste your precious talents unconsciously. Imagine that Sun Yat-sen would not become a great bourgeois revolutionary if he did not re-choose; If Lu Xun and Guo Moruo don't choose again, they will be brilliant doctors at best and never become great thinkers and writers. Einstein will not become a world-famous physicist if he does not re-choose; Chen Jingrun will not become a mathematician who shocked the world unless he chooses again.

The Importance of Innovative Thinking Cultivating innovative thinking is the highest expression of human thinking. In the category of thinking, as opposed to conventional thinking, innovative thinking refers to the thinking process of solving problems with novel and unique methods. This kind of thinking can not only reveal the essence and laws of objective things, but also greatly improve human material civilization and spiritual civilization driven by innovative thinking. However, in the process of innovation, only when we have a correct understanding of ourselves can we establish innovative thinking concepts and then produce innovative behaviors. However, we often take certain habits for granted, forming a lot of prejudices and affecting your innovative thinking concept. Please think about it, what are the reasons for the top ten selection projects of the year? Why? How can students avoid the habit of not thinking deeply? How to develop the habit of thinking more and knowing yourself and yourself? This requires questioning, which is the key to innovative thinking.
What is the significance of innovation? General Secretary Jiang Zemin said that innovation is the driving force of national development and the soul of national progress. This is a big theme. Innovation is related to the development and progress of a nation. Without development and progress, it will be eliminated and it will not survive.
Whether we can innovate and have real independent intellectual property rights is actually a matter of national life and death. Here are some examples:
It is dangerous for a rapidly developing country to rely on foreign technology.
[Story] Miss Zhang, who works in nanjing xinjiekou, has a thumb and sends dozens of short messages every day. Recently, Miss Zhang wants to change her mobile phone and is faced with the problem of which operator to choose. She said, be sure to choose cheap text messages. Statistics show that there are more than 300 billion short messages in China every year, which brings huge profits to operators.
[Statement] For the operator, Miss Zhang's final choice is the gain and loss of a customer, but for Miss Zhang, no matter how she chooses, it is to make foreigners make money. At present, the core technologies of various wireless communications are still in the hands of foreigners, and the proportion of intellectual property rights in China's communications industry is below 3%. In other words, foreign companies that have mastered the intellectual property rights of core technologies will take away most of the economic benefits brought by these more than 300 billion short messages. The profits of the telecommunications industry have always been considerable. Think about it, how much do we have to give foreigners through a small mobile phone? If the core technologies such as communication and computer chips are in the hands of foreigners, not to mention the economic lifeline, even national security will be in trouble.
1.2 The technology bought by the market and money cannot be the latest technology.
[Story] Mr. Xue bought a domestic brand car. He said that the shape, handling and safety of this car are good, but the headache is: fuel consumption. Mr. Xue lamented that some details of domestic engines are still not enough.
[Statement] At present, most domestic automobile brands are joint ventures. But even though they have merged into one, a small engine technology, foreigners still insist on it. Why? The lesson of South Korea has been laid out now. Once the core technology is released, people will have their own modernity. Last year, 90% of China's automobile technology was imported, and many of these technologies were patented by others in the 1980s. But foreigners know very well that you can't give you money for the core technology. In this way, he can keep the advantage of exchanging one plane for all the apples in your three provinces in trade.
1.3 Without core technology units, it is impossible to grow steadily.
[Story] There used to be a famous oral liquid manufacturer in China. But one thing is barren. The Tang incident actually closed the factory in an instant: an old man in Hubei died unexpectedly after drinking oral liquid, and his family took the factory to court. In desperation, the manufacturer defended in court: I have nothing in this oral liquid except sugar. How can I eat people? As a result, oral liquid won the lawsuit, but it closed down because it was originally sugar water.
[Statement] This story may be a special case, but the reality that enterprises without technology will fail is unavoidable. There was a very popular DVD factory in the 1990s, and it was later discovered that their technology was not their own. At that time, some experts sentenced this enterprise to punishment. Later, the situation was as described. Enterprises without independent technology can be found everywhere in China. If we don't innovate and take intellectual property rights into our own hands, our bright future of rapid development is likely to be destroyed. Soros instigated the financial turmoil in Southeast Asia, which is to see the lack of core technology in Southeast Asia. We can't afford such a loss, and we can't afford it.
Based on the above points, everyone should put innovation in an important position, actively explore knowledge and cultivate their survival and development in the competition, which will be of great benefit to individuals, society and the country. In popular science work and quality education, phrases such as scientific spirit and scientific method often appear. Especially with the development of society, they have been given new connotations to meet the requirements of international and domestic situations. To cultivate scientific spirit, we must first enhance their scientific awareness, especially their awareness of innovation, participation, practice and competition. Here, what we want to discuss is how to stimulate students' innovative consciousness, remove some obstacles to their innovation, combine innovative activities with optimizing brain function, and participate in some innovative activities. Innovative thinking method is one of the most practical concrete methods, which will provide a finger for students to ask and solve problems. Mr. Tao Xingzhi, a famous modern educator in China, said: everywhere is a place of innovation, every day is a time of innovation, and everyone is an innovator.
Although everyone can think, some people have mediocre careers and some people have fruitful lives. What's the difference in their thinking? The key is that the latter has innovative thinking ability, and the higher the degree of innovation, the greater the career achievement. Innovative thinking is a kind of thinking activity that human beings can break away from convention, make positive progress and seek new achievements in the process of exploring unknown fields. Innovative thinking is the essence of human thinking activities. As can be seen from the definition, the characteristic of innovative thinking is the thinking activity of actively solving problems by using unique methods. These are the two most striking features of innovative thinking.
Being able to break away from convention, ask questions and solve problems in a unique way is unconventional and the most remarkable feature of innovative thinking. Unconventional thinking, as its name implies, is an illogical way of thinking and an unconventional way to solve problems. It is a kind of thinking activity that relies more on illogical thinking, breaks away from convention and finds another way. The characteristics of innovative thinking are not only unconventional but also active. Proactive is obviously a requirement for innovators. To innovate new things and methods, we must have a positive and enterprising attitude, otherwise we can't think what people think and solve problems creatively. Moreover, in the process of innovation, there are many difficulties, and it is even more necessary for innovators to devote themselves wholeheartedly, observe keenly, use their imagination, be inspired actively, be unconventional, and mobilize all positive psychological qualities of a person.
The role and significance of innovative thinking The significance and role of innovative thinking in our work and life.
Infiltration of innovative thinking
There is a saying that almost everyone is familiar with: Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% sweat. ? Edison's famous saying tells us that hard work and sweat can make genius and success. Actually, it is not. Because behind the original text of this sentence, there is such a key sentence:? But 1% inspiration is the most important, even more important than 99% sweat. ?
What did Edison convey to us? Success is not just as simple as sweat. What is inspiration?
Inspiration is actually an effective way of thinking, a way to lead people to discover new methods, and a brand-new way of thinking. Essentially, it is a reflection (shadow) of innovative thinking.
Looking back at the long river of history, from ancient times to the present, from the four great inventions of ancient times to modern industrial manufacturing, from the development of enterprises to the rise and fall of social industries, it is inseparable from the infiltration of innovative thinking factors. Efforts can't bring about essential changes, sweat can't promote social progress and development, but innovation and creativity can!
As the wheel of time turns to 2 1 century, the appearance of computers has greatly changed the popularity of time network, the constant birth of new industries, the way of human work and interpersonal communication, and so on. The world has entered an unprecedented new era, and the cornerstone of the development of emerging industries such as creative industries and information industries is innovative thinking. The daily economic life of human beings is not so dependent on the role of innovative thinking as at any time in history.
The role of innovative thinking
Ma Yun, the godfather of e-commerce in China, has such a speech about laziness that the world is actually supported by lazy people:
? The richest man in the world, Bill? Programmer Gates was too lazy to study and dropped out of school. He was too lazy to remember those complicated dos commands, so he made up a graphical interface program. As a result, computers all over the world are a face, and he became the richest man in the world. ?
? The most powerful catering enterprise in the world, McDonald's. His boss is too lazy to be surprised, too lazy to learn exquisite French cuisine and too lazy to master the complicated skills of Chinese food. Take two pieces of bread with a piece of beef and sell it. As a result, the M symbol can be seen all over the world. The owner of Pizza Hut was too lazy to put the pie stuffing in, so he just sprinkled it on the bread and sold it. As a result, everyone calls it pizza, which is more expensive than 10 pie. ?
The above passage reflects from the side because? Lazy? The importance of innovative spirit and innovative thinking. As the saying goes, innovation is regular, but thinking cannot. Innovation is the most important, and thinking is the most important. Only the existence of innovative thinking can lead to the birth of fruitful new products, meaningful methods and chances of success. That's why. Lazy? The emergence of creative inventions and innovations, the birth of new industries, the development of enterprises, the convergence of wealth and the progress of society have created today's wonderful world. In other words, innovative thinking is the cornerstone to guide social development and progress.
The significance of innovative thinking
Different industries and environments have different manifestations of innovative thinking. But it is essentially a reflection of people's thinking ability. Innovative thinking plays an unusual role in our daily life, which makes people from all walks of life attach great importance to it today.
First, innovative thinking promotes knowledge mastery and knowledge optimization.
Knowledge is varied, one can only master a certain amount of knowledge, but the soil produced by innovative thinking is by no means barren and single, which urges people to understand? From astronomy to geography? Many fields make the scope of knowledge broader and more systematic, and at the same time, through continuous thinking and learning, we can master knowledge and optimize the combination of knowledge.
Secondly, innovative thinking urges enterprises to innovate independently and cultivate international brands.
The establishment of national brands in China relies on independent innovation. Without innovation, there will be no market for the products of enterprises. Without innovation, it is difficult to maintain the development of enterprises. Without innovation, outdated management will inevitably be lifeless, and enterprises may also lack competitiveness. Therefore, innovative thinking is particularly important for enterprises. Throughout the current international market, there are only a handful of national brands. None of the newly released Fortune 500 companies in 2008 came from China. The reason is that there is no independent research and development and innovation ability, so we can only follow the trend.
The strength of China cannot be separated from the development of national enterprises, and the establishment of national international brands is the horizontal embodiment of a country's comprehensive national strength and economic strength. Therefore, the establishment of national brands, the innovation of corporate culture, the innovation of R&D, the innovation of management mode and so on are all inseparable from the support of innovative thinking.
Third, innovative thinking can liberate imagination and promote the perfect development of the education system.
With the development of society, the role of innovation is more and more significant. What is the current basic education in China? New curriculum reform? Advocate quality education. And innovative thinking is one of quality education-the core of innovative quality. What about basic education? New curriculum reform? The implementation of the program can promote the development of students' abilities, promote students' initiative and stimulate and protect students' imagination. The extension and development of imagination is the source of innovative thinking, so innovative thinking promotes the perfect development of education system, which is very important for the future of society and nation.
Finally, innovative thinking can promote the society to attach importance to the development of creative industries and urge the improvement of the legislative system.
There is a wide range of industries now, and many industries need innovative thinking. For example, the development of these industries, such as creative industries, depends entirely on imagination and creativity. Whether they are creative or not is the criterion to judge whether they are suitable for the development of this industry.
