What is innovative? And why these companies made it to the list?

In the words of Woody Barcelona, one of the commentators for the article,

Innovation is not the result but the way we act. The result is a consequence of our acts. If you keep doing it the same way, we will always get the same results.

The companies that are shaping and will shape the future are the ones that are not afraid to try different things, different actions. Those actions are the ones that will shape our future.
