Abstract

Innovation is not simply accepting a given problem or task and solving it in a methodical, reductionist manner. Rather, innovation is an and knowledgecreative process that is realized through the generation and definition of the problem or task to be solved. Research on the innovation process in Japanese organizations has shown that these and knowledge-creating characteristics are, to a large degree, a product of what can be termed information redundancy. Information redundancy refers to a condition where various types of excess or supplemental are shared among a group in addition to the minimal amount of requisite each individual, department, or organization holds as necessary to perform assigned, specialized functions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
