Knowledge search processes in the origination of outlier innovation abstract most innovation builds closely on existing knowledge and technology, delivering incremental advances on existing ideas, products, and processes.

However, relatively little work has examined processes by which organizations can achieve exploratory search.

Long search paths, scientific reasoning, and distant recombination.

An organism’s (or organization’s) directed search (especially the search for function) supplies a key mechanism for realizing adjacent possibilities and new niches.
