The optic nerve carries images of what the eye sees to the brain. When this nerve become swollen or inflamed, it is called optic neuritis. It may cause sudden, reduced vision in the affected eye. The exact cause of optic neuritis is unknown. The optic nerve carries visual information from your eye to the brain. The nerve can swell when it becomes suddenly inflamed. The swelling can damage nerve fibers. This can cause short or long-term loss of vision.
While most of this research has focused on var-. ious aspects of technological innovation (e.g., Henderson & Clark, 1990; Utterback, 1994), the. trend over the last fifteen years has been toward. exploring other forms of innovation, such as pro-. cess innovation (e.g., Pisano, 1996), service inno-.
Incremental innovation most prevalent. Incremental innovation is the dominant form of innovation. Radical innovation is generally a complex process, rather than a discrete event, and generally implies a difficult, lengthy and risky process. Smaller firms, or new market entrants, can play important roles in introducing radical innovations.
