The theory of economic value when considering innovation, cost and risk

The concept of value is one that has challenged definition. At a theoretical level value can be defined as getting more than you bargained for (in a positive sense at least). Economists and business analysts will define value as buying something for less than it is worth. Value has to be anchored around price, there is no way it can be separated, but the essential elements of value are only related to price. In some ways they defy easy definition or quantification.
