Although it is very well known that innovations are very important, there is still a space for search the best activities which bring inventions and innovations to business. In this mostly theoretical paper we deal with two important factors, i.e. pro-innovation climate in business and lateral thinking. In the paper there are mentioned some reasons why these factors are important when working with innovations. The influence of these factors on business was also described.
