While creativity and innovation are similar‚ there is a lot of confusion in regard to separating the two. Creativity can be defined as “the enabling process by which something new comes into existence” (Schaper et al. 2011‚ 54–65). In this respect‚ innovation can be defined as the action or process of putting those ideas into effect. According to the term‚ “the 4 P’s (persons‚ process‚ press‚ products) of Creativity” (Rhodes‚ 1961) coined by Mel Rhodes – creativity consists of four strands or categories

Difference Between PRODUCTIVITY AND EFFICIENCY Productivity: Productivity is an ability of factors to produce some thing. Productivity means that some thing is produced‚ how much produced‚ in how much time. Quality and wastage is not so important factor. But the quantity is important that how much produced. E.g. All the lands are not fertile. The fertile land gives more out put‚ but infertile land gives less output. So the productivity of fertile land is more than that

There are three types of market efficiency: Ø - when prices are determined in a way that equates the marginal rates of return (adjusted for risk) for all producers and savers‚ market is said to be allocationally efficient; Ø - when the cost of transfering funds is “reasonable”‚ market is said to be operationally efficient; Ø - when prices fully reflect all available information‚ market is said to be informationally efficient.

Efficiency should be simply defined as the balanced relationship between the inputs to health care
