From organizational perspective, it is said that innovation fosters an organization to grow, prosper & transform in synchronization with the changes in the environment, both internal & external.

This paradigm shift in banking operations is well-known as modern banking. For the past two decades, the banking sector has chosen a new service channel based on the progress of information technology-electronic devices to respond to the changes in customer preferences and needs, increasing competition from non-banks, changes in demographic and social trends, and government deregulations of the financial service sector (Byers and Lederer, 2001). This new way of performing banking activities is called modern
The banking industry is under pressure in today’s business climate. Banks have been through big changes. There is opportunity, but there is also increasing competition. To be the preferred bank means changing “good enough” into a unique value proposition. And that means changing the way people have always done things, change on this level requires cutting edge technology. Change cannot be achieved with a simple directive or surface adjustment especially within the banking industry. It requires an innovative rethink of the entire system, in a strong partnership between bank leaders and their change agents. New systems and policies must support the strategy to be successful. The real test of a good strategy implementation plan is whether the people understand the strategy, are motivated and enabled to implement it, and actually start achieving its goals.
In the article “Difference Between ‘Invention’ and ‘Innovation’”, Tom Grasty claims that invention is creating a new thing, while innovation is making change and contributing something new based on existing things. I agree with him. “Invention” is to create something from nothing, and it emphasizes “the first”; “innovation” is to make something better. Moreover, since every company has different status and resources, “innovation” might not be the first one, but it could not be exactly the same. Another point is that we can distinguish inventions from their positive and negative impact. The positive one is like computer, which improves technology development; the negative one, like computer virus, destroys people’s data. However, “innovation”
Innovation is connected to the three strategies described above but it often involves more important changes to the product or service. As a strategy, it can imply the replacement of existing products with ones which are actually new, as opposite to correction and which imply a new product

Whether the reasons give rise to the existence of banks are still powerful will be examined here, while section 6 offers a way of considering whether banks are declining by looking at the value added by the banks. When the value added by banks is examined, banks are not a financial intermediation, which not only conduct the traditional services but also provide more diversified
Change and innovation has become one of the basic concepts in the modern organizations. An organization’s competitiveness is determined by its desire to embrace innovation or introduction of new and/or modified products in the market. Managers of the top performing organizations manage them in such a way that they are able to derive maximum gain from its human and technical resources though prompt and effective responses to the business challenges identified. Maximum utilization of the human resources implies that the company must be able to exploit the skills as well as the imagination of the personnel in order to promote innovativeness from all dimensions of the organization. Through this process, an organization will be in a place itself in a position that effectively promotes continued innovation of new products and services for the market. However, it is important to note that organizations must be able to analyze critically their environment in order to identify the existing opportunities and problems. Innovation should be directed towards satisfying a particular need or solving a particular problem. Otherwise, the innovation may not contribute in any way to an organization’s success.
