Are the next line of products to be launched Revolutionary-Innovative Products or Evolutionary-Innovative Products?

Riser Products has invented numerous products, as we prepare to launch the next line of products we must decided how we will describe innovative products: revolutionary or evolutionary.

Both words sound the same; is the difference between Revolutionary-Innovative Products and Evolutionary-Innovative Products?

First let's define revolutionary and evolutionary and second we will see how another blogger describes and compare the two terms with regards to innovative products.

Wikipedia’s generally definition of revolutionary is something that has a major, sudden impact on society or on some aspect of human endeavor.  The Free Dictionary (online) offers a simple and concise definition of evolutionary; a gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form.

Another blogger’s interesting opinion regarding innovative products:

Revolutionary Innovation seeks to adapt the world to new ideas.

Revolutionary innovation is the type we see and hear about most in United States.  On the one hand, it can quickly make available wondrous new products and services.  On the other, it is disruptive and expensive, and it produces unpredictable outcomes.  Revolutionary Innovation requires large pools of highly risk-tolerant investors who are prepared to make large capital investments to try something completely new, and those investors require, in turn, very large returns for the few major successes that they come across.

Evolutionary Innovation seeks to adapt new ideas to the existing world.

Evolutionary innovation dominates in countries like Japan, but it is also broadly followed in most very large corporations, regardless of their national heritage.  Evolutionary innovation tends to be incremental in nature and less expensive to develop than revolutionary innovation.  Evolutionary innovation focuses on preserving or gradually changing existing fundamentals, including people, product, and business relationships.  Because the changes tend to be smaller, investment in evolutionary innovation tends to be smaller, and because the destruction wrought by evolutionary innovation tends to be less dramatic and spread over a longer time frame, the costs, both in terms of dollars and in terms social and business disruption, tend to be smaller as well.

It is unanimous, based on the Wikipedia’s definition of revolutionary Riser Products next line of products are not revolutionary because they are not something that has a major, sudden impact on society (so they must be evolutionary); based on the Free Dictionary (online) Riser Products next line of products are evolutionary because they will be a gradual process in which the products will enhance existing technologies into something better.

It is solidified: Riser Products’ next lines of products are Evolutionary Products.
