Business must decide what opportunities it wants to purse and what are the steps it has to take to realise that selected opportunity.

Learning has been, still is and will always be an important human activity. What needs to be learnt,how to learn, from where to learn may change over time, and they do, but need for learning remains as long as individuals live and human race lasts. Progress in human society, or evolution as some prefer to call, has always necessitate learning new things, in novel ways and in newer environments (hunting in forests, cultivating lands, building forts to name few). Periodically, the advent of technologies have changed and sometimes altogether altered the very process of learning and have demanded a new category of learning skills.

For instance, when man wanted to fly in the skies, the immediate inspiration came from birds. Early inventors tried to imitate birds, and their wings in building flying objects - i.e aeroplanes. To design new planes, the European inventor Da Vinci tried to have planes with feathers that flapped up and down. But later experiments found limitations of such wings and redesigned the wings that have no similarity with birds feather. The lesson during invention process is to

Have you found something that none in the world knows. Then you have made an invention. Did what you found existed already and you are the first person to uncover it. Then you have made discovery. Edison invented electric bulb and Columbus discovered America
