	The general objective of the work is to identify the axiological assumptions of the concept of innovation. The study shows their presence in the arguments justifying the claim that something is or is not an innovation. The literature and logical analyses shall achieve this goal. They should also indicate essential differences between innovation and pseudo-innovation. The practical goal is to show the role that these assumptions play in decision-making and planning innovation strategies.
