Critics noted Rekha for having worked hard to perfect her Hindi and acting, and media reporters often discussed how she had transformed herself from a "plump" duckling to a "swan" in the early 1970s. Rekha's credits to this transformation were yoga, a nutritious diet, and a regular, disciplined life. In 1983, her diet and yoga practice were published in a book called "Rekha's Mind and Body Temple".[178] Rekha has no children.[179] She is a self-proclaimed eggetarian.[180] Anu Aggarwal recalls Rekha's compliment: "You have a face that we all try to achieve through makeup."[181]
She was referred to as the reigning Queen of Indian Cinema at the 2012 IIFA Awards held in Singapore, where she was given the "Outstanding Contribution to Indian Cinema (Female)" award, also referred to as the Lifetime Achievement Award.[197] In 1999, the columnist-turned-author Mohan Deep published the first biography about her, titled Eurekha!: The Intimate Life Story of Rekha (1999).[198] Another biography was released by the journalist Yasser Usman in 2016 under the title of Rekha: The Untold Story.[199]

There are kitchen utensils sold under the brand name of Good Grips. They are designed to be easy for disabled people to use. I also thought online ticket booking could be considered to be an incremental innovation, although it also has some features of a disruptive innovation.
Wherever invention occurs, whether with a lone inventor or in a creative team within an organisation, there seem to be common factors involved. There have been many attempts over the past 100 years to explain the creative process that occurs while people are attempting to solve problems. I'm going to combine ideas from two such models of the steps involved in creative problem solving or invention. The first source is from the economic historian Abbott P. Usher's book A History of Mechanical Inventions (1954) and the second is from Brian Lawson's book How Designers Think (1990). Combining the models of Usher and Lawson produces five key steps.
Once an innovation starts diffusing into the marketplace it can have differing degrees of impact. As mentioned in Part 1, although innovations generally offer progress, there are some that complement existing ways of doing things and some that are more dramatic in their impact. In his book called The Innovator's Dilemma Clayton M. Christensen (2003) labels these two types of innovation sustaining and disruptive.
In another classic book, Mastering the Dynamics of Innovation, James Utterback (1994) identifies three overall phases in the innovation process: emerging, growth and maturity. In the case of disruptive innovations the emerging phase is characterised by radical new products and the appearance of completely new industrial sectors. In the past, for example, a new sector emerged around electronics. More recently information and communication technology and biotechnology sectors have also emerged. During this emerging phase many new companies appear, ready and willing to exploit the new products. They tend to be small, science-based and entrepreneurial, and prepared to take risks in a highly uncertain new market. To start with, they compete by producing specialised products tailored to the needs of a small group of customers. There are often frequent product changes as the sector struggles to perfect the new technology. 2ff7e9595c
