sustained growth refers to having growth of living standards, per capita income or GDP over a prolonged period, preferably for never-ending time. How to offer such growth to a growing population from depleting natural resource stock is an issue.

The focus should be on creating and adding ideas to products and processes to attain desired sustained growth.
