Abstract

The primary objective of this chapter is to describe the processes of innovation involving sport technology to facilitate an understanding about the components of this book. In order to initiate a technology innovation there needs to be some degree of creativity about its usages in sport. This can occur in a variety of different forms from incremental to radical shifts in the way sport integrates technology innovation. Despite the practical usage of technology innovation in sport, the academic literature is still at a nascent stage. This introductory chapter to the book will describe the changes in the way technology is viewed in sport as a way of starting the discussion for the resulting chapters in the book.
