Yep.
Matt Ridley calls this 'innovation'. You aren't an inventor of something, you might actually be the inventor of nothing, but you are the person who brings something to market and makes it work there.
This is a pretty good book that flies by. It touches on the idea that, while making something new is important, making something that someone else made new which you made sustainable is vital.
"How innovation works" by Matt Ridley touches upon this precise aspect of innovation. It's seldom the result of a lone genius, but rather an incremental, simultaneous and inevitable process.
So long as we're talking about innovation, you all should read this (once you're done reading Why Nations Fail): https://www.amazon.com/How-Innovation-Works-Flourishes-Freedom/dp/0062916599
